Good morning 🌞
Freedom and liberty come with a few caveats for Christians. We are always under the microscope. God doesn’t call us to be perfect, just mindful of others.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many,so that they may be saved.” Romans 10: 31-34 (NIV).
Greetings 👋
Everyone has highs and lows. These are times for reflection and not medication or drugs. Conversing with God brings strength and hope for tomorrow. Can you find hope in these timeless promises?
“Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.”
Psalm 128: 1-2 (NIV).
And . . .
Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.
The Lord is the strength of his people, a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
Save your people and bless your inheritance; be their shepherd and carry them forever.” Psalm 28: 6-9 (NIV).

What does this passage mean to you? Does it SPEAK 🗣️ to our current political and social moment? A lot of progressives have no use for the Apostle Paul.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1: 16-17 (NKJV).
