Revelation 21:5<\/a><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\nReflection<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
God’s word is true and never changes. He speaks of love, salvation, forgiveness, and faith. These are principles that we should all get behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who don’t believe, think this is made up as if we’ve been drinking the kool-aid and gone mad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We know what we believe. We know that God’s word is true and can be seen in all we do. We need to hold each other accountable in love, kindness, faith. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s hard when people say what you believe is wrong. Sometimes facts can prove you were wrong. In faith, those who work to do that, are either uniformed, or are tempted and trying to tempt others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stay true to His Word<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Challenge <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Know His word. Know the overall message of the Bible and stay true. This is the way to everlasting life, not to death as in drinking the Kool-Aid <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prayer <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
Lord, help us in these trying times. Times when facts are not facts, emotion overpowers evidence, and faith is seen as outdated. Remind us that your word is true and those who follow it will have everlasting life. In your name, Amen. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
