A Word

For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide, we might have hope.   Romans 15:4

Opposition strengthens us. We must face challenges to grow and be renewed. This aligns with the restoration process, which involves mending our relationships with one another. The Biblical covenant is rooted in our weaknesses.

Take some time and read Nehemiah 1.

Wicked leadership leads people to rebel. This is why pastors and nations will be held accountable. It highlights the importance of how we treat those around us. We must understand that we do not solely represent ourselves; our actions affect others. First, we need to acknowledge that something is wrong. This acknowledgment is the first step toward restoration.  

If you want to get closer to God, you have to control yourself.  Your body is not saved.  It just makes you legal here.
