“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.”

It’s not about what we do. It’s about how we do it and who we serve.

Worried, scared, discouraged, angry, and/or disturbed about the sin in our nation?

Perfect way to close out the week

If your prayers were answered, would your neighbors notice?

Helpful reminder for the week:

“There is a way that seems right to a man,
but it’s end is the way to death.”

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 3:5

We all want to look forward and move on. But we need to pray for the families & friends of those who cannot. Believers are not to overlook the suffering of others. Believers must look into the suffering and bring what they see to God and plea for help. Be a watchman. Isaiah 62:6

[Ryan Sands @VTSandmann]

Quote from Isaiah 30:18

[Ryan Sands @VTSandmann]

“Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you,
and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy on you.
For the Lord is a God of justice;
blessed are those who wait for him.”

Turn from sin immediately, and hope in God indefinitely.

You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord God is an everlasting
rock.

Isaiah 26:3-4

Addiction to social media will make you aware of everything and wise about nothing.
