Wednesday in the word.
HOW TO SHARE THE REASON FOR THE HOPE WE HAVE
Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.” Jude 1:3 NIV
THE UNCHANGING NATURE OF GOD
In a world where things are changing rapidly, where the fast pace of living has become hectic, and where it’s so easy to feel left behind, left out, and bewildered; a world in which values have been compromised and society seems teetering on the brink of moral collapse. It’s tremendousely comforting to know that we have a compass that points true, a God who speaks clearly, and a Savior who never changes. The Word of God is clear and consistent. When we follow it, our moral compass remains constant.
Blessed to be a Blessing
We should always strive to do what is good for each other and everyone. When God called Abram, he made a profound covenant and promise, not just to bless him, but to make him a blessing to others. This reveals an important truth: God’s blessings are not meant to stop with us. They are meant to flow through us.
WE PUT OUR TRUST IN THE LORD
God is active in this world even in the best of time and in the worst of time. God loves this world, and He calls for action. “All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord, who are called according to God’s purposes.
LOVE HAS A HIGHER PURPOSE
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. …And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
