“And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.” 1 Corinthians 15:19 NLT
Those who teach that Jesus is here to give you lots of money must have never read this verse! Following Jesus is a narrow road. Those who are following Jesus to get rich may want to check which road they’re on. (See Matthew 7:13-15)

We must not affirm sinful behavior because it has become acceptable in our culture. If you aren’t sure about which behaviors are evil and/or dangerous, the truth can be found in the Bible. God’s Word is Truth and the final authority. The Word says,
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV
Going along with anything and everything is not love. Sin brings pain and heartache. It always does. That’s why God warns us against it.
“This is the way sin works: it comes covered in an attractive veneer that hides its evil and hideous consequences.” Pastor David Jeremiah
Speaking the truth protects the innocent. Truth is the antidote for deception and deception is the enemy of mankind.
Standing for truth isn’t hard to do when evil is something society detests. But what about when sinful behavior is something our culture affirms? What sin does our society affirm? All you have to do is watch TV to find out. TV is filled with shows that seek to normalize sinful behaviors such as adultery, homosexuality, abortion, and transgender ideology.
I never thought I’d see the day when women would celebrate because they had won the right to murder their unborn baby. But many women in America demand abortion rights during all months of pregnancy, and they call it healthcare. That is not healthcare. It’s killing your baby for convenience. If we’re going to have this discussion, we should at least be honest about it.
There’s a reason abortion advocates call it healthcare. It’s more palatable to call it “healthcare” or “women’s rights” than to call it what it is: murder.
Abortion is just one evil that our culture affirms. There are many others. My question for you is: Will you love? Or will you affirm evil? Affirming evil is not love. It takes courage to stand up for what is right.
“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.” 1 Corinthians 13:6 NIV
At one time, I didn’t understand this verse. Why would anyone delight in evil? Now I understand.
Engaging in sinful behavior is a very dangerous path. Will you stand up for truth to protect the innocent and/or the misinformed? It won’t be easy, but it will be loving.
The World promotes sinful behavior through propaganda and lies.
” … wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10
Deception is the work of Satan.
” … that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world … ” Revelation 12:9 ESV
Jesus said, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44 (emphasis mine)
FACT: “A new study from the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law finds that 81% of transgender adults in the U.S. have thought about suicide, 42% of transgender adults have attempted it.” UCLA School of Law
FACT: “According to Gissler et al. (2014), suicide rates for women directly after having abortions are three times higher than suicide rates for women overall.” Georgia College
FACT: LGBTQ+ young people are more than four times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers (Johns et al., 2019; Johns et al., 2020).
We do not stand for truth because we hate. We stand for truth because we love. We love the ones who are being deceived and led astray by propaganda and lies. It’s time to speak up.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. Philippians 2:3 Read full chapter
I remember one time many years ago. I had a room reserved for every Tuesday for the Women’s Bible Study. Then one day, the church secretary called me and said, “You won’t be able to use the room tonight.”
I said, “Why not?!”
She said, “Someone else needs it.” No explanation. Just “Someone else needs it.”
I won’t lie. I didn’t like it. My first thought was, So what? But before I could respond, the Holy Spirit brought the above verse to my mind.
I knew God was teaching me humility. It isn’t an easy lesson to learn, but one way or another, we need to learn it. If you’re like me, it will take some time!

“What God wants from me is a life fighting for truth.” –Charlie Kirk
What God wanted from Charlie, He also wants from you and me. God’s Word is our source of truth.
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
This is the verse that has been on my mind all week. Many things can make us weary, but we must keep going. We must continue in the ministry God has given us. This is when we discover that the Lord really is our strength!

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/16/25
3 “Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” …
8 “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:3,4,8,9
“Thousands of years have passed since Jesus ascended into heaven, promising to return for His faithful ones (John 14:1–4; Revelation 22:12). Scoffers point out the lapse of time and mock those who still wait and yearn for His appearing.” (Got Questions.org)
“There is God’s timetable and there is ours. From a human perspective, the word “near” passed its outer limits about 1,800 years ago. According to God’s calendar, it’s like we’re only a couple of days into the wait.” Amir Tsarfati, from his book Revealing Revelation

“ … but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect” 1 Peter 3:15 ESV
I started reading a book recently titled TACTICS, by Greg Koukl. I highly recommend it to anyone who desires to talk to others about Jesus. The book provides the game plan for communicating the compelling truth about Christianity with confidence and grace.
