This World is Not Our Home
We are nothing but sojourners passing through. This sets us at odds with many aspects of our culture.

In the event of a tragedy where human lives are lost, it is a shame when the church judges the weight of that tragedy by the sins of those involved rather than the inherit worth and dignity that each person carries as an image-bearer of God. Our response to tragedy, first and foremost, should always be to grieve at the destruction of the glory of God that is inherent in every single human being, not to try and turn the victims and those we consider less holy than us into political talking points.
I hope to convince you to make a more concerted effort to be on time. There are virtually zero drawbacks to being on time, yet very many benefits. It is a completely and purely good thing to be on time.
We are natural-born dreamers, destined to do great works for the Kingdom of God (Ephesians 2:10). When we lose sight of this purpose and exchange walking in the Light for sitting in the dim glow of a computer screen, our life, time, energy, resources, ambitions, hopes, and dreams are all completely wasted. We are meant for so much more than this.
In a faith that requires all of its adherents to deny themselves, pick up their crosses, and follow Christ, constantly putting ourselves in the spotlight is completely antithetical to our calling. We are supposed to “do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than [our]selves” (Philippians 2:3). It’s hard to see how posting a constant barrage of selfies embodies this principle.
Satan and his demons are very real and are waging war against God. As believers, we are involved in that war and if we are unaware of the authority we have, what we can and cannot do, then we usually end up on the losing side of the battle. That’s the point of this post: to shed some light on the authority that we have as believers and to equip you with the knowledge and faith needed to withstand the enemy’s attacks.
