If you feel that no one loves you and God can’t save you:
His name was Saul and he was an enraged killer of Christians. Finally, Jesus got a hold of his heart, and God saved his soul. He became the apostle Paul and his preaching has been heard and read more than any other preacher. If God can reach the heart of Saul, he can reach yours also. 🩵
The gospel is not "God helps those who help themselves." It is God saving those who could never save themselves.
We bring our sin. Christ brings His righteousness.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
That is astonishingly good news.
Pray with me

Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are our strength, our refuge, and our King. You have never called Your people to fear, but to faithfulness. You have never called men to passivity, but to courage. So today we ask that You raise up faithful men who will stand firm in this generation.
Lord, make us strong, not in pride, but in humility. Make us bold, not in anger, but in truth. Give us hearts that fear You more than we fear the opinions of men. Let us be men who love righteousness, hate evil, walk in integrity, and keep our word, even when it costs us. As Your Word declares, "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Corinthians 16:13-14)
Strengthen husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her. Strengthen fathers to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Strengthen sons to honor their parents. Strengthen grandfathers to leave a legacy of faith that echoes for generations. Let every man who calls upon Your name become a servant-leader whose greatest ambition is to glorify Christ.
Father, deliver us from compromise. Guard us from temptation. Keep us from cowardice. When the culture demands silence, give us voices that proclaim Your truth with grace and conviction. When trials come, make us steadfast. When we stumble, grant us repentance. When we grow weary, remind us that those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.
Fill us with the Holy Spirit, that the fruit of our lives would reflect the character of Christ: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Teach us to wield the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word, and to put on the whole armor of God so that we may stand against the schemes of the enemy.
Raise up men who will pray when no one is watching, worship when no one is applauding, serve when no one is thanking them, and obey when no one else understands. May our homes become places where Christ is honored, our churches become filled with faithful shepherds, and our communities see the light of Jesus through lives surrendered to Him.
Lord, let us not merely admire courage in others. Make us courageous. Let us not simply desire revival. Begin it in us. Let our strength be found in Your grace, our confidence in Your promises, and our hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We stand upon Your promise: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)
May we finish our race well, fight the good fight, keep the faith, and hear those glorious words one day: "Well done, good and faithful servant."
For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
In the strong and sovereign name of Jesus Christ we pray,
Amen
🚨 STOP SCROLLING.
A 30-year-old father is being tortured in an Egyptian prison RIGHT NOW — for the “crime” of becoming a Christian.
Said Mansour Rezk Abdelrazek (Saeed Abu Mustafa) converted in 2016. He simply tried to update his national ID to reflect his faith — a right Egypt’s own Constitution promises as “absolute.”
Instead they arrested him without warrant on July 15, 2025.
