Big Idea: In a world full of fakes, there’s only one true King: Jesus!
The first things any idol takes from its worshipers are their relationships.”
Andy Crouch
Fake Worship
In democratic countries, Satan wants people to look to the state as if it were a messiah. When the government is set forth as the remedy for all ills: economic, social, medical, moral, and even spiritual, then the idolatry of the state usurps the place reserved for God alone.”
Vern Poythress
The messengers of Jesus will be hated to the end of time. They will be blamed for all the divisions which rend cities and homes. Jesus and his disciples will be condemned on all sides for undermining family life, and for leading the nation astray; they will be called crazy fanatics and disturbers of the peace.”
Dietrich bonhoeffer
When you go against the grain of the universe, you get splinters.”
H.H. Farmer
God is not some metaphysical airport security screener, waving through the secretly pre-approved and sending the rest into a holding tank for questioning. God is not treating us like puppets made of meat, forcing us along by his capricious whim. Instead the doctrine of election tells us that all of us who have come to know Christ are here on purpose.”
Russell Moore
Real Perseverance
It is, and it will be, costly to follow Christ in this world, but don’t compromise! Even if it means you’re being slain, hold fast to your faith. Even if it means you lose your job and all your money, hold fast to your faith. Even if it means ridicule and oppression and isolation or imprisonment or death, follow the Lamb! And one day you will stand with him, you will sing with him, and you will be satisfied completely in him.”
David Platt
For all those discouraged by your progress in Christ: “By perseverance, the snail reached the Ark.”
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Please receive me now. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.
