Today, don’t place your trust in feelings and emotions that will fail you.
Rather, place your full trust in the unchangeable reality that the God we serve will never leave you or forsake you.
How terrible it would be to face a world of viruses, elections, injustices, persecutions, rioters, and untold suffering without the assurance that God is in control of all things and has a purpose in permitting them.
"...a neglected closet is the beginning of all spiritual decline." CH Spurgeon.
Prayer. Don't neglect this privilege and duty. He is eager to meet with you.
If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed.
If you look within, you’ll be depressed.
But if you look at Christ, you’ll be at rest.
—Corrie ten Boom
To my fellow men and women of faith, I heard from hundreds of you. Several felt attacked. Please don’t. Feel challenged to not replace your faith with politics. Look for ways to mirror Jesus’ love to the world every day outside our comfort zone. James 2. Love you all.
"You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: LOVE your neighbor as yourself."- Galatians 5:13-14
Bad advice: “Let your conscience be your guide.“ Scripture tells us we can have an evil conscience, a seared conscience, a weak conscience and a defiled conscience. Better advice: “Let scripture guide your conscience.” A clear conscience is not always a clean conscience.
