We are called to forgive and be graceful. We are called to be loving and generous. That’s hard to do when we’re in the midst of a self-created, self-centered hurricane of anger and frustration.

In the pews and in the pulpit, there are sheep and goats. In the ministry and the masses there are weeds and wheat. We will be surprised when we get to glory, both by who is there and who is not.

Often, we have a tiny one-dimensional picture in our mind of who God is. 

When the persecution comes … hold fast.

Yes, the church needs to be united. Yet we must never compromise biblical truth for what the world sees as unity. We must join together and earnestly contend for the faith once and for all.

There is another walk that we need to be concerned with. It is our faith walk, our journey through this life. The way we display our faith in our own lives impacts our own attitudes and, often, the responses of the people around us.

May you find the balance that enables you to be childlike in your faith while growing in maturity.

I didn’t choose my birthplace and citizenship. They were granted because my parents were Canadian and birthed me here. My heavenly citizenship was granted because God called me, and by His grace, I was saved by faith in Jesus. He paid the entry fee to allow me to enter that kingdom.

Jesus’s teachings are revolutionary and life-changing. Where they have been followed, they have changed the world.

How much of that precious time have we wasted instead of investing it in what God planned for us? We can’t take back the time we’ve misspent, but we can take control of the time we have left.
