You don’t have to be a Prophet

1 Corinthians 15:33 says – Do not be deceived: "Bad company ruins good morals."

Sometimes it is obvious what certain associations, behaviors, and beliefs will lead to. We warn our children that doing certain things will yield certain results, things that we can see easily but they rebel against.

We do the same thing as adults. God warns us, but we think we can avoid the inevitable consequences as we try and do things “our way.”

Listen, you don’t have to be a prophet to watch the grass grow. If you plant the seed, and fertilize your lawn, and then turn on the sprinklers, well, you know what will happen.

It is the same with life. Your choices and decisions are either going in one direction or the other, the godly way, or the ungodly way.

The question is which lawn are you watering?

You’re not supposed to like it

You're not supposed to like everything you hear. If you like everything you hear, then how do you expect to be challenged enough to grow? And if you don't think you need to grow, well, that's a big problem in itself, isn't it? What's the matter? Don't you like what I'm saying?

I Am Invincible

My life is the mission of God. And I praise God that he called me to his mission. I’ll have obstacles, and I’ll face opposition, but I’ll have courage. If God desires for me to continue, I will. But when it’s the end of my mission, so be it, and praise the Lord. I know that until I complete God’s mission for me, I am invincible. And the end of God’s mission for me is not the end of the mission of God. And the end of God’s earthly plan for me is not the end of God’s eternal plan for me. I will not lose, and I cannot lose, because even when I lose, Jesus still wins. He is the focus of my life, and my eternity. This is the truth of the gospel, and the lens by which I see and live life.

This is the creed of Christian courage. No matter what you’re dealing with, what situations you’re in, what choices there are, or what decisions you need to make, you can still live the gospel, you can still love people, and you can still aim to please God. Focusing on the proper message, the proper method, and the proper motive will give you courage in all of your life. Amen.
