Avoid A False Humility

16 “I cannot do it,” Joseph replied to Pharaoh, “but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” ~ Genesis 41:16NIV

27 Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you were lying in bed are these: ~ Daniel 2:27-28 NIV

I’ve noticed a recurring theme in the Church today. When we speak about the power of God, we always say, “I can do nothing … it’s all God …” Then we often refer to Joseph and Daniel, two great men of God who did great things in the name of God, as examples. Here’s the thing, though, they weren’t under this new and better covenant.

While God undoubtedly gave them gifts, those gifts weren’t theirs per se. Those gifts and that power still belonged to God, and those men still belonged to sin. But we, however, are no longer under the power of sin. We are no longer under a cruel and wicked master. We have been bought by a price (1 Corinthians 6:20), saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8), and are the temple of the living God (1 Corinthians 3:16).

No longer are we separated from God and kept far from His presence. He dwells in us and through us. The Son prays on our behalf (Hebrews 7:25), and because we don’t know how to pray as we ought, the Holy Spirit prays on our behalf with deep groanings (Romans 8:26). And most importantly, we have been given the keys to the kingdom (Matthew 16:19). That is why in the Book of Acts, after the Holy Spirit is poured down on all flesh fulling the promise of the LORD through the prophet Joel 400 years before it’s fulfillment (Acts 2), we don’t see them apostles saying “I can’t do this, but I know a God who can.” No. They boldly declare:

6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Acts 3:6NIV

Never again do we see them saying they can’t do something, but instead, they do all things in the name of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit seeking in them. Why? Because that power and authority has been given to the Church by our LORD and our God for His glory. So, let us no longer walk in the ways of Joseph and Daniel, who used gifts but did not have them as their own. Instead, let us follow in the ways of Peter, John, and Paul, who not only had those gifts but used them for the furthering of the Kingdom of God.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Avoid A False Humility.

The Root Obstacle

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. ~ John 15:1-4NIV

I’ve been really focusing on growing this year, and I’ve seen definite growth, but sometimes it just feels exhausting. I’ve been focusing on one fleshly obstacle at a time; right now, it’s turning the other cheek, and keep going forward. In other words, not allowing other people’s actions or words to negatively affect me. To be honest, it’s difficult. It feels like every time I take a step forward and I begin to see these things no longer bother me, the Devil hits me with multiple combinations, and I just seem to fall and fail to get up for a while.

Our enemy studies us nonstop. While it may not physically be the Devil himself, it’s his kingdom that we have to face daily in battle. And it’s his kingdom that watches us daily. They study us to know our limitations and weaknesses better than we ourselves know. So, what then? Is it a losing battle against an enemy that we can’t see, that knows us better than we know ourselves? It is when we try to do it in our own strength.

When Christ came to earth, the Psalmist and the author of the book of Hebrews wrote that when He took on human flesh, He became a little lower than the angels. Therefore, all humans are lower than angels. If demons and evil spirits can’t be cast out by our own power, then we’d be lower than them as well. Therefore, when we try to fight the enemy in our own strength we’re going to lose each and every time. We may see a win here and a win there, but ultimately, we’ll lose every time because those wins and gains aren’t real wins. Those wins are like little punches that landed against our opponent but didn’t do anything else. They got us on the scoreboard but we failed to actually be any competition for him.

This is my biggest downfall. Every time I begin to thrive and move forward and see a change in my life, one thing holds me back from reaching that goal. Consistency. I find consistency to be my biggest struggle. God promises that if we will draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. He promises that when we enter behind the curtain, He will meet with us in the cloud. But I, to my own downfall and destruction, don’t meet with Him daily. Yes, I pray every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to bed, but I don’t consistently spend time with Him outside of those two meetings.

I’ll be consistent for a week or even a month or two at a time, and then I just fall off the wagon. Life gets in the way. Or I get sick, and my schedule is completely thrown off, and then I can never get it back again. The enemy knows our weaknesses, and he uses it against us. So, what’s the solution? I guess the solution would be to get to the root of the issue. If my biggest issue that stops my growth in every other area of my life is consistency, then my focus has to shift to that.

Unless I learn to be consistent in my walk with the LORD, nothing will permanently change in my life. Paul, the greatest apostle who ever lived, put it this way:

25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. 27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:25-27NIV

I don’t believe Paul was saying he was afraid of giving up or turning his back on the faith. I believe Paul was saying that he puts his body into subjection so that he doesn’t become lazy in his faith. So that his relationship with Christ doesn’t become stagnant. So that he never stops bearing good fruit.

Dear LORD, please forgive me for all the time I have wasted not being consistent in with You. Please forgive me for every time I’ve taken You for granted and tried to grow in my own strength and in my own power. Please help me to crucify my flesh daily so that I might take up my cross and follow You. Thank You for Your many blessings and Your unfailing love and mercy. Help me to make meeting with You my biggest priority in my, and not an inconvenience. Show me how to walk in righteousness and in Your Truth. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Do Not Profane

21 Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord. ~ Leviticus 18:21NIV

When we think or talk about profaning the name of the LORD, rarely do we think about our actions. Usually, when we think about profaning the name of the LORD, we think about the way we speak. We think about how we use the name of the LORD, but this is a little bit more subtle than that.

See, the Israelites weren’t going through the streets using the name of the LORD as a cuss word or even to curse people. It was their actions that profane the name of the LORD. In this specific verse, the Israelites took their young children and forced them to go through the fire as a sacrifice (a burnt offering) to the demon (a false god of the Ammonites), Molech. They didn’t curse God as they did this. No. They simply took part in the wickedness of the world around them, refusing to separate themselves from the wicked acts of those people.

Today is no different. We are covered by the name of the LORD (Proverbs 18:10). We literally dwell in His name. The LORD cleared the way before Moses by going before Moses and speaking His own name and attributing His own good deeds He had done to reclaim Israel as His own  (Exodus 34:5-7). When we are saved, we are known to the world by the name of Jesus (Matthew 24:9). So if we are dwelling in the name of the LORD, and the world can see that, our actions directly affect the name of the LORD.

If we refuse to give up our sin and deliberately continue sinning, then we have now profaned the name of the LORD that we are dwelling in and represent. Our actions represent Christ to the world. Jesus said show your good deeds to men that they may praise your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). Our actions directly impact the way the world sees Christ. For instance, Mahatma Gandhi originally sought out Christianity because he desired to know Christ better. When he went to enter a church in Durban, South Africa, in the 1890s, a white South African man refused to let him in because of the color of his skin. He denied the man the opportunity to hear the hope of the Gospel because he felt Gandhi was the wrong race and, in doing so, profaned the name of the LORD. This interaction solidified Gandhi’s search for spirituality in Hinduism instead. He even went on to say these famous words about Christians:

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

We represent Christ to the world. Our actions, especially the way we treat others, directly impact their opinion of Christ. Our actions don’t impact us alone. They either glorify the name of the LORD or profane it.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do Not Profane His Name.

PDS

9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ 13  But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’ 14 I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” ~ Luke 18:9-14NIV

When we’re raised in the church, it’s very easy for us to get Pharisee Disorder Syndrome. Here’s what I mean. It’s easy for us to think ourselves better than other people. We may not like the way they carry themselves or their past. We may feel they shouldn’t even be allowed in any church because of who they are and their sin. Church isn’t meant to be a place where self-righteous people go in order to make themselves feel good or superior to others. Church is meant to be a hospital. A place of learning. A place of growth. A place to meet with and meet God.

If you go to church every Sunday and feel you’re good where you’re at and have nothing that needs to be worked on or fixed in your life, then you need a new church. When we gather together, we should see growth. We should learn something new. We should see change. Church should be like a current helping the water flow through you, the stream. If you’re remaining stagnant and you go to church every Sunday, you and your church are spiritually asleep, maybe even spiritually dead.

When Jesus comes back, He’s not looking for self-righteous, churchgoing people. He’s looking for branches that have borne good fruit. He’s looking for faith, even as small as a mustard seed. He’s looking for evangelists who went into their areas (at the very least) and shared His Gospel. He’s looking for prayer warriors who spent time on their knees, not just seeking the kingdom for themselves but praying for the underground church. He’s looking for more than just a churchgoer. He’s looking for more than just a Pharisaical believer.

Belief alone will never get you into heaven. Faith will save your soul, but once you’re saved you have to begin to run the race set before you. Faith without action is dead.

So, I ask you, “What are you doing with your faith?”

Dear LORD, please forgive me for all the times I thought more of myself than I ought. Please forgive me for being an unjust judge and believing some aren’t worthy of even hearing about You. Please help me to love the world as You love the world. Help me to no longer hide my light under a basket. Instead, help me to shine it brightly so that all who come in contact with me see Your Light shining through me. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

An Eternal Longing

21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me. ~ Philippians 1:21-26NIV

With each generation, the world becomes more and more wicked, straying farther and farther away from Christ. As if that isn’t enough, with each generation the rapid speed in which we flee from the LORD and His ways are increased drastically. While the world becomes more numb, the Church becomes more oppressed. Peter tells us that Lot, who lived in Sodom, was distressed by the sinful nature of those around him. Paul wrote that it was far better to die because then he would be with Christ.

The older I get, the more I long to leave this world and all of its many woes. As I ponder this and listen to the song Elijah by Rich Mullins, something clicked in my mind. We talk about logging for eternity. Longing for Christ to return. We’re longing for something that we’ve never experienced. When you really think about it, it makes Christ’s sacrifice all the more awe-striking. Well, at least to me.

See, while we long for something that we’ve never experienced or can truly even grasp, Jesus left what we’re all longing for in order to come to what we’re all seeking an escape from. Jesus, the Son of God (being in the very form of God), had never known hunger, thirst, or want as God. He had never experienced temptation or suffering. Yet, He willingly got off of His throne, took off His crown, and left Heaven. He left the very place we’re longing for. He didn’t have to. It wasn’t for His benefit. It wasn’t so He could become greater. Matter-a-fact, He put Himself into subjection to the Father. He didn’t upgrade.

Jesus didn’t leave Heaven for Himself. He left Heaven for us. He left eternal peace to be tormented. He left eternal love to be despised. He left eternal safety to be wounded and pierced. He left eternal praise to be crushed. Jesus left everything we long for because of one reason and one reason alone, us.

He gained nothing. Gave up everything. All for us. I had never thought about it like this until now. And honestly it blows my mind. His love for us is so great that He gave up everything to save us. Maybe I’m not painting a good enough picture of what He gave up. Jesus was seated on His throne and Seraphim circled Him praising Him (and the Father), but yet came to earth to be spat upon, ridiculed, and mocked. He, being in very form God, could not be physically harmed, yet He set that aside and allowed the very people He came to save beat Him, whip Him, peel the skin from His body. The Bible describes Jesus’ body as having been beaten so badly it was unrecognizable. Matter-a-fact, it says he didn’t even look human when they were done with Him. As if that wasn’t enough, they then wove together a crown of thorns and forced it into His head, and then nailed Him to a cross. Even after all of that, He still wasn’t done. He had to now take the sin of the entire world upon Himself and carry it from the presence of the LORD to an eternal Lake of Fire.

Christ gave everything up for us. Yes, He rose on the third day. Yes, now He is seated at the right hand of the Father. But His road to get there was difficult beyond measure. Yet He counted it as worth it. Why? Because it was that sacrifice that gave us the opportunity to be saved.

When we long for eternity, we mustn’t let it get in the way of our duties on this earth. We are called by Christ to share the Gospel with the entire world. We are to do this in love. For love is what drove Christ, therefore, let it also drive us.

Dear LORD, thank You for Your sacrifice. Thank You for loving us more than we could ever fathom or comprehend. Please help me to love people the way You love people. Help me to not be angry with the world but to have mercy on them the way You had mercy on me. Teach me to love mankind the way You do. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I might be a light in this dark world. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

The Arguments

22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23 Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, because you know they produce quarrels. 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do His will. ~ 2 Timothy 2:22-26NIV

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Bible Study for the ministry. So, I attempted to do a very basic teaching (the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) that I felt wouldn’t stir up any issues, but apparently, I was extremely wrong. Whenever you post a video online, people have the right to comment and have an opinion. That’s just a part of the internet. The biggest issue I have isn’t people disagreeing. It’s people so busy trying to disagree or argue that they actually don’t listen to what is being said.

Paul instructs us not to get into stupid arguments. I’d even take it a step further with “Don’t interact with people that will take your peace.” When we first started posting on YouTube, I would respond to each comment, whether good or bad. This actually took a toll on me. Not because I couldn’t defend my beliefs but because people are rude, insulting, and will twist anything you say, as well as twist anything God has said in His Word. So, I leave them to themselves. Why? Because I avoid those kinds of arguments. I don’t engage with it; instead, I do as Jesus and King Solomon tell me and judge the fruit of the person to determine whether or not I should respond.

The enemy can’t just enter into our lives and destroy. If he could, there would be no Christians on this earth. So, he uses those around us, those who come in contact with us, and even those who are just passing by to try to get us to open a door in our life for him to enter in and cause destruction. So, what are we to do, no longer communicate with the outside world? While part of me would like to say yes, the other part knows better.

We aren’t to cut off the world, lest they be left to their own devices and perish. No. We are to engage with the world and spread the Gospel. When we share the Gospel, we don’t continuously try to force it down someone’s throat. Jesus told His disciples that if they went somewhere and the people didn’t want to listen, they were to kick the dust off their sandals, move on, and take their peace with them. We don’t try to force someone to believe or to even listen. We give them the opportunity, but if they are unwilling to listen, we move on. We don’t stand there and argue, allowing ourselves to get angry, frustrated, or even distraught. We move on. Jesus said the fields are white onto harvest.

There’s many people in the world who want to hear the good news of Christ and have a willing heart to do so. Therefore, we can’t allow those who have a hardened heart and closed ears to take up all of our time and consume our energy. We have to judge the fruit of those that we are witnessing or correcting and decide, “Is this person closed off to the Truth? Do they just want to argue, or are they truly seeking the Truth? Are they asking a genuine question?”

Dear LORD, please forgive me for all the time I have wasted arguing in pointless arguments. Please forgive me for allowing the need to correct and show others why I’m right to blind me from those you have placed in my path to help. Thank You that You have not abandoned me, but that You prune me so that I might grow in You. Please fill me with Your Holy Spirit so that I might be guided by You. Please give me a spirit of discernment so that I might be able to discern who is from the enemy to distract me and who is from You. Help me not to exhaust myself with trivial matters but instead to train myself to not grow weary but to run the race You have set before me with endurance. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Consider The Afterlife

19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~ Matthew 6:19-21

Religion has been around from the very beginning. From Adam to Noah to Abraham, there has always been religion. One thing that each of these religions agreed on was that there was indeed life after death. They all agreed that this life didn’t end here and then we cease to exist. Each ancient religion believed in some form of an afterlife. The ancient Egyptians would bury their Pharaohs with their worldly possessions so that they could enjoy them in the afterlife. They’d even bury them with golden tongues so that they could speak with the deities in the afterlife. The Greeks would bury their dead with gold coins so that they could pay the ferryman to give them safe passage to the other side. Each afterlife was rooted in works, and most believed in the ability to take what you’ve made on earth with you. Then came Christianity.

See, all of these ancient religions, including Judaism, were based on works, whereas Christianity blatantly says salvation cannot be obtained by works because mankind is too flawed to ever reach perfection.

In the song Elijah, Rich Mullins sings:

But the Jordan is waiting
Though I ain’t never seen the other side
Still they say you can’t take in the things you have here
So on the road to salvation
I stick out my thumb and He gives me a ride
And His music is already falling on my ears

True salvation can only be obtained through faith by grace. It is the grace of God coupled with our faith in Him that saves our soul from eternal damnation. So, on the road to salvation, we have nothing. We can’t buy our way in. We can’t bribe the doors when we get there. So what is there left to do but stick out our thumb and catch a ride from God?

We spend a lot of time building up treasures on this earth, which isn’t in itself a bad thing, but it should never be our main focus. Christ said seek the Kingdom of Heaven first and then all of those things will be added to you. As Christians, we should be storing up treasure in Heaven.

One day, this life will come to an end, and each one of us will have to stand before the throne of the living God. We will have to then give an account of our lives. We’ll be judged by our words and our actions. All things that we have built up in this life will be tested by fire. If our focus is just building up earthly treasure, it won’t pass the fire test but instead will be burned up. Why? Because this earth will not last forever. On that day, it will flee from the presence of God and will pass away, and with it, all of its treasures. But the Kingdom of God is an Everlasting kingdom and its treasures are eternal ones.

It’s easy to get caught up with the things of this world, but we must put our flesh in subjection to Christ. We must live to Christ and seek Him and His kingdom above all else, lest our treasures be burned up in the fire.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Consider The Afterlife.

Share Christ

1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, or even to eight, for you know not what disaster may happen on earth. ~ Ecclesiastes 11:1-2

King Solomon tells us to not only cast our bread upon the waters but to give a portion to seven or even eight. Why? Seven is the number of completion, meaning you do as Paul did and try to share the Good News with every single soul that you meet, and eight, the number of new beginnings, means start all over again, and witness to those you’ve already witnessed to.

In other words, follow-up. Disciple.

We have to understand that eternity is a very long time, and once you’re there, you are there for good. There is no getting out. There is no parole. There is no reduced sentence. There’s no time off for good behavior. Once you are there, you are there. Your last breath was your last chance. There’s no getting out. Eternity is forever. We are to be the light in the darkness by sharing Christ with others.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Share Christ.

Get To Know Them

22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.” ~ Acts 17:22-23 NIV

I want you to notice that before Paul spoke to the people of Athens he first walked around carefully looking at their objects of worship. Paul was literally studying their religion in order to explain the Gospel to them. He didn’t just randomly walk up to them and start preaching. He first learned about who their god(s) were and what their culture was. Why? So that he could better explain Christ to them.

Today, the majority of Christians don’t take the time to actually learn what other people believe so when they encounter others, they’re arrogant in their speech and usually misrepresent or misquote their beliefs. As Christians we have to be ready to give a defense for each of our beliefs. And as Christians, we have to go out into all the world and share the Gospel. When all we do is say this is the way. This is the way, but never explaining why this is the way and their way is not, then we fail to see people converting to the Truth.

Each letter Paul wrote was specific to that Church and the culture they were in. Paul didn’t do a “one-size-fits-all” kind of evangelism. No. Paul wrote specific things to specific people. He never changed the Gospel, that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying Paul personalized his evangelism.

Jesus did the same thing, as did Peter. Jesus used the Law of Moses and the Prophets in order to show He was teaching Truth and that He really was (is) the Messiah. Peter did the same. As did James, John, and Jude. They tailored their writings to their audience. They knew whom they were speaking to. They knew the beliefs and culture they were talking to.

Why today do we just write off others’ beliefs and then tell them they’re wrong? How does this save souls? It doesn’t. When we get to know someone else’s beliefs and we don’t just discount them as fables and lies, but instead show them that there is error in these beliefs and then show them the Truth (Jesus, Peter, James, Jude, and Paul all did), we’ll begin to see a change. We’ll begin to see a revival in the world.

Dear LORD, please help me crucify my flesh and build my spirit daily so that I might grow in Your Word and in wisdom and understanding. Help me to have patience with the world so that I might be able to be the light of the world, as You called me to be. Teach me, LORD, to not just dismiss other people’s beliefs, but instead to be able to show them the error of those beliefs and the Truth of Your Word. I pray that You would be me with boldness and confidence. I pray that You would lead me, guide me, and watch over me. That I might not keep Your light hidden away in me, but that I might let it shine brightly for the world to see. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.

Prepare For Battle

11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes. ~ 2 Corinthians 2:11NIV

I often hear the statement that the Devil is already defeated. That the Devil is just a toothless lion. But I want you to think about that for a second. The Devil is a defeated enemy, but woe to the earth and the seas, for the devil has come down to you in great wrath? The Devil is a toothless lion, but he’s also a roaring lion prowling around seeking someone to devour?

When we say things like “the Devil is already defeated,” we give ourselves a false sense of security. We let our guard down. We stop holding up that shield of faith that extinguishes all the fiery darts of the evil one. We stop praying and fasting, which causes demons to flee and strongholds to be broken. When we believe our enemy is already defeated, we stop fighting.

This is one of the best lies the enemy has told because it’s not out there destroying the world. No. It’s out here destroying the Church. The Church no longer prays, fasts, or worships the way it should, and why should it if there is no enemy to fight? So many of our Church leaders fall into sin because the enemy is already defeated, and what God has me, no one can take away. So what happens? We stop watching ourselves. We just start blindly talking. We just start blindly going. And if we are going blindly, we’ll fall into the pit.

This life for Christians is destined for trials, tribulations, and many attacks by the enemy. It’s not an easy, cushy life. It’s a hard life. A life that we must deny ourselves and pick up our cross every day. A life where we have to run the race set before with endurance. A life where we have to go to battle on behalf of ourselves and our loved ones. The life of a Christian is not an easy one. Why? Cause the enemy is still here. The enemy is still fighting us. The enemy is not yet defeated. Therefore, we must keep fighting. We must keep watching. We must keep seeking God. We must keep running the race set before us.

Peace. Love. Go Forth and Prepare For Battle.
