On God’s Shoulders
May 5, 2020
But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:8-13
The Flywheel of Faith

“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:6-8
Light the Lamp

“Be strong and courageous, for you shall cause this people to inherit the land that I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success wherever you go. This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:6-9
Are You a Rot Pile?

“And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, ‘Go over and join this chariot.’ So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, ‘Do you understand what you are reading?’ And he said, ‘How can I, unless someone guides me?’ And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.” Acts 8:27-31
Before the Sky Falls

“So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or
hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light,
and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear
those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can
destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:26-28
No Bottom

“About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have
become dull of hearing. For though by this time you ought to be teachers,
you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles
of God. You need milk, not solid food, for everyone who lives on milk is
unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. But solid food
is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment
trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. Therefore
let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity.”
Hebrews 5:11-6:1a
Taking Aim
April 29, 2020
“Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a
prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with
purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body
like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that
after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.”
1 Corinthians 9:24-27
