EVERY PERSON KNOWS TWO THINGS

Everyone who ever lived—everyone alive now—everybody knows two things automatically—

One – – – We all know there is God, The One True God, no matter what we say, no matter what we claim, no matter what we invent to substitute for God.

Two – – – We all know there is more to us after this life.
We know there is LIFE after life – or – there is DEATH after death.
We know there is HEAVEN after this life – or – there is HELL after death.

We all know this, regardless of . . .

CONTENT ?

“I will be content . . . “

OR

“I am content.”

– – –

Take time to reflect.

Wait on God.

“Trust in the Lord, . . .”
. . . don’t lean on your . . .
— your anything
— your thinking
— your understanding
— your abilities
— your figuring it out
— your health
— your strength
— your goals
— your position
— your success
— your money
— your insurance
— your retirement
— your . . .

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.”

If we do not stop to consciously, verbally, recognize our dependence on God, our trust in Him “in all our ways”, in every detail—then we are not trusting in the Lord with all our heart.

ALL – – – or – – – NOTHING

“Be still, and know that I AM God.”

MORE OPPOSITION TO TRUMP THIS TIME – – – WHY ?

— Because this time he’s getting more done, quickly.

— Because this time the left knows he is jeopardizing their agenda to take down America—MAGA makes them mad.

— Because this time he repeatedly acknowledges God–

I believe that.”—–President Donald Trump to joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025

Zeal—to depend less on God

– – –

God—
Do you seek to understand Me ?
or
Do you desire to trust Me ?

SAFE ? – – – FROM WHAT ?

“Jesus will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Him.”
—–Elisabeth Elliot

DOES GOD FIT ?


We are not called to make God fit anyone’s thinking, to make anybody comfortable.

BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS

“Do not fear—be strong and courageous.”
—–God, to Joshua, the new leader of Israel, after Moses

GREATEST OBSTACLE TO READING THE BIBLE

When you don’t ‘HAVE TO’ read the Bible.
When you aren’t serious, desperate for answers found only in the Bible.

SPARED FOR A PURPOSE

“I was saved by God to make America great again.
I believe that.”
—–President Donald Trump to joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025

SMELL TEST FOR THEOLOGY

— Does it come straight from the Bible ?
— Does it drive you to the Bible ?
— Does it make you want to tell someone about Jesus ?
— Does it help you talk about Jesus ?
— Does it bring new believers closer to Jesus ?
— Does it bring long-time believers closer to Jesus ?
— Does it require explanation by theologians ?
