How many of us can say this and truly mean it? I can say it, and I do, but am I willing to share in his suffering? God knows!
āBut whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christāthe righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christāyes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.ā
Philippians 3: 7-11 (NIV).
š Watch & share this powerful story of faith and survival!
āLet the redeemed of the Lord tell their storyā those he redeemed from the hand of the foe.ā
ā Psalm 107:2

I canāt help thinking that these are ill-gotten gains that illustrate a failure of the U.S. Civil Court system.

As Christians, itās wise to regularly examine our hearts. Are we craving the worldās approval a little too much?
Jesus didnāt sugarcoat what following Him would cost:
āIf the world hates you, remember that it hated me first. The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
Do you remember what I told you? āA slave is not greater than the master.ā Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you. They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
Anyone who hates me also hates my Father. If I hadnāt done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still ...
Today we learned that Senator Lindsey Graham has passed away after a sudden illness. He was 71.
Itās a sobering reminder that none of us is promised tomorrow. Our times are in His hands.
āMy times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.ā ā Psalm 31:15
What kind of legacy do we want to leave?
Graham and Mitch McConnell were once two of the most powerful figures in American politicsāmen who helped shape foreign policy, the courts, and the direction of their party for decades. Now both are no longer positioned to influence world events.
Life moves quickly. Power fades. Influence passes. God is in control!
Letās pray that God raises up a new generation of men and women leaders after His own heartāleaders marked by wisdom, courage, integrity, and a genuine fear of the Lord.
May the Lord comfort Senator Grahamās family, his staff, and all who mourn him today.
May Senator Graham rest in peace.
