I am excited to share another story of a redeemed life in this week's podcast. You will be touched by Kevin Marino's testimony.

We are living during the buying season.

They say that the time to invest in the stock market is when stock is dropping and everyone else is selling. When that happens, your emotions tell you to stay away or to get out of the market because it is failing. But experienced stock investors buy in those moments because they have faith that the stock market will rebound and they will make a profit for buying when the price was low.

I believe that we are living in a cultural moment when it seems that all is failing. Many Christians perceive a dark future. But I believe that we are at the brink of a great harvest.

Every day is the right time to sow the seeds of the Gospel but I believe we are living in a particular moment in history when God’s people will be highly rewarded for investing heavily in the kingdom of God.

It’s just a thought. It’s a hunch.

But when the rains come, make sure your garden has been tilled and sown with seed so that you don’t miss the harvest.

“Think through what’s going to be pleasing to the Lord. Work it out.”

Ephesians 5:10

I love this.

Work it out.

Think it through.

Feelings are important and we should always factor them in with all seriousness. But work it out in your mind too. What is the will of God? To give life. To bring order. To defend the defenseless. To be generous. To reconcile all things to Himself.

It’s not rocket science.

Saturday is the day Planned Parenthood kills children. What is the will of God for us on Saturday? Would Jesus invest time and effort to save children and rescue mothers?

Work it out.

Think it through.

Make a plan.

Do God’s will on Saturday and every day.

A Chinese Christian leader recently told his congregation:

“Of course the government is watching you, and even listening to you in your own home! So make sure that what they are seeing is a true disciple of Christ!”

This is the attitude to take. We are not backing down. We are fully trusting in God’s sovereignty over what they do or don’t do to us. We are in the hands of the risen Jesus and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Be bold.

We have always been at a deep disadvantage.

Evil always seems to have the upper hand against good. Evil doesn’t play by the rules.

Then again, neither did Jesus. They killed Jesus but He didn’t stay dead. That isn’t fair, is it? That is downright AWESOME!

Decisions or Disciples?

Some people have pointed out that Jesus called us to make disciples while modern evangelicals focused on generating decisions. Some evangelicals will proudly declare “we had 17 decisions for Christ today!” The question is, did we make disciples?

We are called to make disciples not decisions, yet you can’t become a disciple without making a decision, can you? The general decision to surrender your life to Christ is the first and most important decision which leads to many, many, more decisions which transform us into disciples.

So, do we seek decisions or disciples? Yes, we do.

Why does the election fraud matter so much to Christians? Because it is a matter of justice, peace, and safety. Every lie is meant to veil evil. The bigger the lie, the more profound the evil. The “election” of Joe Biden is a HUGE and desperate lie. The evil that they are hiding is bigger than the lie and cannot remain hidden.

The Bible says, “...be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23.
What are they hiding? Do you see it yet?

As long as we believe the lie that secularism is the basis of our freedom, we will continue our slide into totalitarianism.

There is no such thing as secularism. There is only paganism and Jesus. Every other god is an idol that cannot hear, see, or speak. The Psalmist says that those who make idols will become like them. Censorship restrains you from hearing, seeing, and speaking. We must be worshiping idols. We need to repent.

America is a Christian and a free nation or America is an enslaved nation. Choose this day whom you will serve.

Who will be the champion of truth and justice for your nation? You will.

“But I’m a nobody.”

“I don’t have any training.”

“I hate speaking in front of crowds”

“I don’t have money.”

Guess what!? You are qualified!

“When they saw how boldly Peter and John were speaking, and realized that they were untrained, ordinary men, they were astonished, and they recognized them as people who had been with Jesus.” Acts 4:13

Untrained,
Ordinary,
been with Jesus = qualified + able.

Jesus does not consider Himself to be above public debate. Many of us shy away from public debate because we are afraid of the ridicule heaped on us for our beliefs and opinions. Church-goers will also tell us not to “get political” so that they can disassociate themselves from our controversial stance. But Jesus does not shy away from a fight worth having. When Jesus was on trial, He was cunning, feisty, and firm.

The high priest asked Jesus about his disciples, and about his teaching.

“I’ve spoken to the world quite openly,” replied Jesus. “I always taught in the synagogues and in the Temple, where all the Judeans gather. I didn’t say anything in secret. Why are you asking me?”
John 18:19-20

Jesus is willing to call out a loaded question & avoid the trap. Many people consider Jesus to be non-resistant. But the dialogue in the account of His trial is anything but passive.

We should be more like Jesus. Truth is truth. Only the truth will set us free.
