Jesus didn't die to make you feel better about yourself.
He died to save guilty sinners from the judgment they deserve.
That's the gospel the world desperately needs to hear.

The Bible teaches us that this reality about heaven doesn't happen until the very END. A lot of Christians don't know this is a thing.

Let me clear up something, God is not against you having things... He's against things having you...

On my own, I have found that I’m powerless to control my flesh. Thankful that I’ve been rescued by Jesus.
“The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life.”

“Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.”

The Church doesn't need to become more like the world to reach the world. It needs to become more like Christ.

There is so much evil in this world that the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the light of the Gospel of Jesus who is the image of God. We proclaim Jesus is Lord as His servants! He says to let His light shine out of darkness! That was from 2 Corinthians 4:4-5 which I paraphrased. Brothers and sisters we are called to be a light for Jesus and to shine for Him who is in us and around us! We are a city on a hill our light cannot be burned out!
Let us pray in earnest for The Lord to put us on the narrow road and through the small gate. 🥺
“But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”
Matthew 7:14

"Pray until you pray." This phrase has been attributed to people like Spurgeon and Tozer. It encourages us to persevere when prayer begins with a distracted mind.
Your thoughts may wander in prayer before your heart settles before God. Keep bringing them back to Him. Speak honestly with your Father and linger over His promises. Give Him your attention, even when it takes effort to bust through the "taskness" of the activity, and don't stop until it becomes an act of worship. Don't let a distracted beginning become the reason you stop praying.

Once upon a time, Billy Graham got a speeding ticket.
He showed up to court and experienced the most unexpected lesson that mirrors the gospel.
(Shout out to my friend Pastor @Ed_Newton who I heard this illustration from last week!)

Narrow is the road.
6 Things God Never Promised Christians:
1. A life without suffering (John 16:33)
2. Wealth and prosperity (1 Tim. 6:6-10)
3. Approval from the world (John 15:18-19)
4. Freedom from temptation (1 Cor. 10:13)
5. Immediate answers to prayer (Luke 18:1)
6. An easy road to heaven (Acts 14:22)
But He has promised never to leave or forsake His people (Heb. 13:5).

Disheartening but true.
On "VOTING FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS"
If godly people refuse to vote for the LESSER of 2 evils, godless people will vote to ensure you, your children, and your grandchildren get the GREATER of 2 evils.
NEWSFLASH: You will be voting for a "lesser of two evils" until Jesus returns.
Wise Christians can differentiate between a FALLEN candidate and an EVIL candidate.
FALLEN CANDIDATE: Has personal sin in his / her life.
EVIL CANDIDATE: Leads entire communities, states, and nations to sin.

The spiritual forces of evil are having a field day while the blind humans squabble over things here that are passing way.

If Jesus was alive?? Um, he is alive. The only way anyone is getting to spend eternity in heaven with the Father is through Him.

Our relationship with Jesus is the most important relationship we will ever have. Never be ashamed of that.
“Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”
Luke 9:26

““Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

When you read the Bible, are you looking for yourself or for Jesus?
Is David and Goliath about finding your inner giant-slayer or about Jesus defeating the enemy you could never overcome?
Is Noah’s ark about learning to stay afloat through life’s storms or about Jesus being the Ark that saves us from the coming judgment?
Is Abraham and Isaac about what you're willing to sacrifice for God or about what God was willing to sacrifice for you?
The Bible isn't a collection of stories about how you can become the hero. It's the revelation of the Hero you desperately need.♥️

In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
