… sometimes we can not see His hand or purpose in events. In these moments of uncertainty, we are called to have faith and trust God, to be assured that He is at work in these moments of our life. In the fullness of time, we are able to look back and see with fresh eyes what God has done for us.” Alan Kearns, Devotional Treasure, Read it HERE.
“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 NASB
I have found this to be true in my life over and over again.

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 NIV
What is faith? Hebrews, chapter eleven clearly explains what faith really is. Faith is believing what God has said even when it doesn’t seem possible. For example,
“And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise.” (vs. 11). Read full chapter
Simply put, faith is trusting God in all situations.

“Turning a blind eye to false doctrine is not humility; it is negligence.” Bruce Cooper, Reasoned Cases for Christ
“Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all time handed down to the saints.” Jude 1:3, NASB (emphasis mine)
More quotes from Bruce’s excellent post, Defending the Faith: A Biblical Mandate for All Believers:
“The Bible says those who depart from sound doctrine cause division—not those who point it out. Speaking the truth in love is an act of obedience, not hostility.”
“In a world—and sadly, a Church—where doctrinal compromise is rampant, the call to defend the faith is more urgent than ever.”

“In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land (v. 1-2)
The Lord will roar from Zion
and thunder from Jerusalem;
the earth and the heavens will tremble.
But the Lord will be a refuge for his people,
a stronghold for the people of Israel.” (v.16)
Judah will be inhabited forever
and Jerusalem through all generations.
Shall I leave their innocent blood unavenged?
No, I will not.” (v.20-21) Emphasis mine Read full chapter
In Joel, chapter 3, God describes Israel as “my people”, “my inheritance”. God proclaims, through the prophet Joel, that He will avenge the wrongs done to Israel.
Hatred of Jews is so wrong that, according to Joel 3, it will be a criterion by which God judges all nations. (Amir Tsarfati)

Sunday’s Memory Verse, 5/4/25
“For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 NIV Read full chapter
Commentary: Written seven hundred years before Christ, this verse caps a remarkable passage of prophecy about the Messiah to come. (Robert J. Morgan)
One scholar, J. Barton Payne, has found as many as 574 verses in the Old Testament that somehow point to or describe or reference the coming Messiah. Alfred Edersheim found 456 Old Testament verses referring to the Messiah or His times. Conservatively, Jesus fulfilled at least 300 prophecies in His earthly ministry.” (GotQuestions.org)

The difference between faith and fear is focus.” Pastor David Jeremiah
“Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:25, 28-31 NIV Read full chapter
Commentary: Peter had enough faith to get out of the boat and walk toward Jesus… What people focus on becomes magnified, especially in fearful circumstances. Peter decided to leave the apparent safety of the boat and rely totally on Jesus – until the wind caught Peter’s attention. Whenever believers divert their eyes from Jesus in the midst of a storm their circumstances assume prominence, and they, like Peter, lose heart and begin to sink. The difference between faith and fear is focus. Pastor David Jeremiah

“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse.”
“Am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:6-8 and 10 NIV (emphasis mine)
Comments: “False teachers do not look dangerous; they appear enlightened, compassionate, even Christ-like. But their doctrine subtly shifts the focus from Christ to self—your breakthrough, your destiny, your potential. This is a different gospel, and Paul warns that even if an angel preaches it, we are not to receive it.”
Bruce Cooper, from his excellent post, Smoke and Mirrors: Unmasking the Strategy of Deception. You can read it HERE.

“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.” Psalm 19:1-4 NIV
Commentary: Creation declares the existence of God in such a magnificent way that people are without excuse. Even though I am 73, I still stand amazed each night as I observe the night sky when I take Henry (my Yokie) out before bedtime.
During World War II, a saying developed which said, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Men may deny the existence of God in peacetime, but in a crisis, they call out to Him.
