Greetings 👋
Here are scriptures that speak to the debates of our times.
“Remember that Christ came as a servant to the Jews to show that God is true to the promises he made to their ancestors. He also came so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercies to them. That is what the psalmist meant when he wrote:
“For this, I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing praises to your name.” And in another place it is written “Rejoice with his people, you Gentiles.” And yet again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles.
Praise him, all you people of the earth.”
And in another place Isaiah said, The heir to David’s throne will come, and he will rule over the Gentiles.
They will place their hope on him.” I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15: 8-13 (NLT). #Christians #Jews #Jesus #Israel

Yesterday and today these two passages have been challenging me.

“This is what the Lord says: Cursed is the person who trusts in mankind. He makes human flesh his strength, and his heart turns from the Lord.”
Jeremiah 17:5(NIV)
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.”
— Matthew 7:3-5
My takeaway is simple and uncomfortable: I need to trust Christ more and measure others less.
Where are you tempted to look to people (or yourself) for protection or direction instead of God?
And where do you catch yourself being quicker to spot the speck in someone else than the plank in your own eye?

Here’s an important passage that my friend @patsylevang5 shared this morning. It’s always worth reflecting on the deeper meaning of these words.
“The Narrow and Wide Gates
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.”
Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)
This is a sobering warning. It suggests that the vast majority of people who profess faith may actually be traveling the broad road that leads to destruction. Pray that you and your loved ones are among the few walking the narrow path that leads to life.
