PLUGGED UP
I’m convinced that the greatest reason so many of us are spiritually dull and apathetic is that we are not sharing our faith; we keep it to ourselves and we end up spiritually constipated. We are self-absorbed; our focus is inward instead of upward and outward.
THAT IS REALLY DUMB!
Preparing for the inevitable seems like a great idea to me! Charles Spurgeon, famous for fearlessly preaching the truth regardless of what people thought of it (or him!) once said, “He who does not prepare for death is more than an ordinary fool, he is a madman.”
HOW TO LET THE PAST SHAPE YOUR PRESENT
Every believer in Jesus Christ is called to yield, to submit to domestic, civil, and ecclesiastical authority established by God. If the presiding authority is tyrannical, we have the obligation to resist and support reform. This was the position of the American colonists which led to the American Revolution.
