Jesus speaking //
"I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.ā // John 14:27 NLT
The other eleven disciples didn't completely reject the faith, and stop believing in Jesus for the rest of their life, because of the actions of Judas.
If the actions of others wreck your faith, then you must honestly ask yourself, "Was I worshiping Jesus or people?"
Think of the most beautiful place you have seen. Heaven is far greater than that. It is Paradise.
Yes, Heaven is real, and we can know with certainty that weāll go to Heaven when we die. The Bible tells us, āFor his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are Godās childrenā (Romans 8:16 NLT).
We call this hope, and we need hope today. In fact, experts have described Generation Z as the hopeless generation.
If you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you can have hope. Donāt put your hope in technology or in material things. Donāt put your hope in politicians. And donāt even put your hope in religion. Hope has a name, and itās Jesus Christ. He is ready to change the course of your life.
I love how God will often respond to my doubt with overwhelming evidence of His presence in my lifeā¦
Only a good God would respond to weakness with strength, unfaithfulness with love and withdrawal with intimacyā¦
He is nothing like usā¦and Iām glad š„¹
āFor my thoughts are not your thoughts,āØand your ways are not my ways.āāØThis is the Lordās declaration.
āFor as heaven is higher than earth,āØso my ways are higher than your ways,āØand my thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55:8-9)

@ScooterMagruder Lord, please comfort Cameron during this trying time. Please be with his whole family too. Thank You for the blessed assurance of a future in Heaven with You. We love You and thank You. In Jesusā name, amen
The Church is not to be found at the center of a left/right political world.
The Church is to be a species of its own kind, confounding left, right, and so-called middle, and finding its identity from the ācenterā of Godās life.
@timkellernyc would be the first to say that all glory goes to God. Itās his work that he graciously invites us into and allows us to participate. God is at work always and everywhere.
We miss you already.
Thank you for teaching us so much.
Weāll see you soon

Praying for all pastors and preachers this weekend.
Whether youāre standing in front of ten people or ten thousand... Itās all equally important when youāre holding Godās Word in front of Godās people.
Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have āChristianityā pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.
In 1963 corporate reading of the Bible and recitation of the Lordās prayer was declared unlawful in the United States. Just 3 years later, things had gotten so bad in our nation, TIME magazine asked this question on their cover, āIs God Dead?ā Coincidence? Riots in the streets, political and racial division continued to explode. Talk of āRevolutionā was in the air. And God sent one. It was not a moral revolution. It was not a political revolution. Time magazine declared it. āThe Jesus Revolutionā. It was a full-blown spiritual awakening. We need to pray for another one to to happen soon.
