Our faith in a Sovereign God, a God that has our best interests in mind, diminishes, our hope for a future outside of this world also diminishes, as we begin to fearfully hold on more and more to this life, and believe less and less in the life to come.
To walk in faith is to know that the master of life and death, the King of this world and the world to come, loves us, watches over us and has a plan and purpose for our lives.
We, as believers, are called to model this to those around us that may not believe.
If our faith in Him is real, then it will be easy to see in how we live.
I wish each and every one of you, watching or listening to this, a long and healthy life, full of purpose and faith.
I pray each and every one of you, live fearless in the knowledge that God has us all.
And when our time is over, He has a place prepared for each and every one of you.
Live in Faith… until next time!

His Still, Small Voice... or is that Me?
How do you know if an idea is in your head, or is legitimately a prompting from the Holy Spirit… Is part of God's plan for you, or if it's your own thoughts or feelings, or just secret desires flooding your brain?!
Test EVERYTHING by His Word.
Continue to seek His Will, both in The Word and in prayer, and you'll get the truth. But it's going to take some patience, and ALWAYS, it takes discernment.
God is always the same, and He will never violate His Word. God is 100% congruent, and you can get to know what He wants, through His Word.
What is "Reproof"?
When a flatterer, who doesn't love us, comes into our life and tells us how smart, and how beautiful, and how intelligent, and wise we are, this is an easy path to embrace, because flattery is REALLY seductive.
There will always be a temptation to embrace words that feed our ego, and our vanity, and our sinful nature.
Our world is aggressively training us to be hypersensitive to criticism; to treat criticism, as if it were some sort of assault; as terms are being redefined at a quantum rate, as language that sounds high-minded, and virtuous and moral in practice, many times is harmful and damaging, to not only us, but the culture at large.
Rejection of good counsel, and rejection of good criticism, is a tool from our ever-present enemy, to get us to embrace a natural inclination toward vanity.
If we're already perfect, why do we need a savior? Why would we need to repent? Why would we need salvation?
Criticism is never easy. Yet, criticism/correction is absolutely necessary to experience, if we intend to experience any type of growth or maturity.
Proverbs 27:6 / Psalms 141:5
"Are We REALLY Looking For TRUTH?"
The truth is not a popularity contest. The truth does not change, swayed and tossed by public opinion or outcry or acceptability. The truth remains. It will defend itself, and the wise will seek it, with everything in them.
"Triumphant!"
Jesus Christ's resurrection is a time of ULTIMATE rejoicing. For in His triumph over death, we find the ultimate promise of salvation and the assurance of eternal life.
"Don’t Get Tired of Doing Good!"
We are entering another time of testing, and it will, more than likely, get really rough, before it gets better. Problems, no matter good times or bad, will ALWAYS be with us.
But, that doesn't mean we should despair. In fact, quite the opposite.
How should we live in this current world?
With vigilance, and prayer. Give it all to the Lord, and His peace will guard you.
