1 John 5:5 NLT: “Who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.”
Arriving at church last Sunday morning, we heard gunshots about a block away. That’s unusual, and yet in a way, not surprising. We’re three blocks from the Precinct station that was burned to the ground. We’re about a mile from George Floyd Square. Our “call” is to offer Jesus to an area that clearly needs more Jesus. We offer hope where there is none.
There’s a lot of evil in the world, most of it not as obvious as our city’s civil unrest, but all of it designed to divert your attention from the Lord. Paul counsels us to keep our eyes on the prize, our goal of a good life after this life.
Those who believe Jesus us the Son of God have hope in this world and the next!
Blessings today!
