The Bible addresses how God has established nations and borders. In fact, the Bible talks about the exaltation of nations due to righteousness. He has also established civic authorities and entrusted the Church with praying for these authorities. We can love our country, recognize God’s purpose for our nation, and make sure we are loving Him first and more deeply.

Scripture Passage: Acts 17:24-27

We can be convinced that the demonstration of the love of Christ can affect human hearts to the extent that they will turn to our Savior. If we are walking in the power of the Spirit, allowing the Holy Spirit to walk and work through us, that Spirit - the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead - will make an indelible impression on a person’s heart. What a tremendous opportunity to be conduits of the presence of Christ!

As Christians, it’s important that we are confident in the Lord and convinced that the way of the cross provides the most excellent principles upon which people can build their lives. When we adhere to the teachings of Jesus, that means that we believe that His way is the only way to salvation. There are many who claim to hold the way to God, but those ways they embrace are truly counterfeits to Biblical truth.

If we have been born-again by Jesus Christ, if we have accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, then we have a testimony, a story of what God has given to us. The spiritual reality of being saved, experiencing the new birth is a divine work in our hearts. And, even though it’s a common experience believers share, for each of us, we have come into it in different ways. And, with that testimony, we are called to testify about the redemptive work of God. Scripture prescribes that we display God’s inner work with the outward practice of baptism. This is demonstrated on the Day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2.

God has ordained the family not only from a biological standpoint, but ideally to provide a setting through which blessings can be transmitted to one another and a family legacy transmitted to future generations. In a time in which families are feeling enormous pressures and family relationships have become fractured in so many instances, we can seek to recapture God’s purpose for our family relationships.

The Bible teaches us about building our lives on a strong foundation. If we have been born again, Christ is now the foundation for our lives, but we have to be careful what influences we allow to dilute our faith or outright mislead us - that can happen if Scripture is not our guide. We hear a lot about deconstruction these days, which is the result of outright deception. We might think about reconstruction - returning to God after we have strayed from Him. But, we have to consider what I would call mis-construction.

We are described in Scripture as “a people for his own possession,” meaning that belonging to Christ will certainly make us different. You will find the word, “peculiar,” in the King James Version to describe the distinctive nature of the body of Christ. We have to be faithful to discern good from evil and make sure that the way we live our lives shows that we are unique.

I believe that the Lord has given each of us something to say and has given us a voice with which we can accomplish His purposes. That may be the spoken word, or it could be writing, or simply the way we live that communicates powerful Biblical truth. We can depend on Him to speak and move through us.

Jesus doesn’t just want to make your life better - He desires to make us new. When we asked Him to be our Lord and Savior and were born-again, the old person, who we used to be, died, and we now have a new life in Him. He calls us in Ephesians 4 (ESV) to put off the old and put on the new. After we are saved, He undertakes a massive renovation process, building us up from the inside. We can depend on Him to give us the power to live a victorious life.

We are now almost two months removed from the celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary. And, questions continue to flow about what sort of government we will have and what principles we will embrace for the foreseeable future. There are those that seem to want to dismantle the principles upon which our nation was founded, principles consistent with a Biblical worldview.

When we look at the writings and actions of our Founders, we see men who were devoted to a cause and who exhibited a trust in a God to whom they were committed. And, a recent survey shows Americans still have a high regard for those Founders.

There is no shortage of buzzwords that we find across our culture and we should be cognizant of what high-profile people are saying and what the meaning of the words are. It’s been pointed out that words have meaning, and that those who do not embrace Christian principles will try to use language to change minds. Take for instance, the fallacy of people trying to change their sex being referred to as “gender-affirming care.” Fortunately, the federal government has now flipped the script and described these hideous attempts as “sex-rejecting procedures.” For the Christian, we have to be careful with the words we use and not buy into progressive talking points.

Matters of life and death, and what you could say, birth and death, have become troubling in our culture today. In addition to the termination of human life through abortion that continues to be a major issue, exacerbated through mail-order abortion, there are issues surrounding what are called “designer babies,” genetic engineering, and problems concerning in-vitro fertilization, which in many cases involves the termination of frozen embryos who are not “chosen” to be implanted. When we fail to recognize God as Creator, the fallacy of human wisdom becomes front and center.

Spiritually speaking, each and every one of us was under a death sentence without Jesus. Not physical death, mind you, but the deserved promise to spend eternity apart from God. A place of eternal punishment. But, Christ has changed our eternal destiny - that death sentence has been ended and we now have a sentence to life eternal, which begins the moment we accept Jesus as our Savior.

The Disney ecosystem has produced its share of young stars, some of whom got started in wholesome entertainment, yet their lives degenerated into more “adult” roles as they grew up. We have just heard about someone who did some work for Disney while young, who now in her 30’s, died of what was apparently some sort of cardiac event. But the Bible warns against gaining the whole world and losing one’s soul. And, no matter what path we may be on, it’s important to have our lives built on His foundation of truth.

Temptation is all around us, vying for our attention, being used on the enemy to lure us into activities that are not pleasing to God. The Bible traces the process of temptation, and it starts in the heart - we must make sure that we are guarded and that we are grounded in Scripture, so that we can resist the activities that will cause us to stray from God.

The Bible teaches that the primary responsibility for raising children is placed upon the parents. Parents can certainly look to the Church to assist in that mission, as well as other family members and institutions. But, it comes back to the home to impart godly principles to the next generation. That is supported by Deuteronomy chapter 6.

No matter what the conditions of the economy, God’s economic principles remain the same. We can recognize that, as believers, what we possess ultimately belongs to Him, and we are instructed to be good stewards of the resources that He has provided. His economy is predicated on our selfless act of tithing, but He desires for us to bring our financial decisions to Him. And, recognize that our hearts should always remain generous.

When we consider what God would want to do in our lives, sometimes it will be outside of our comfort zone - “outside the box,” you may want to call it. But, even if we sense the direction of the Holy Spirit to do something bold, something that we might not get our minds around, we can know that if He has called us to do it, He will provide the power and the resources to get it done.

As we pray for those who have not come to know the Lord - yet, we can be confident that God is working in their hearts. When we plant the seeds of truth in a person’s heart through our faithful witness, we can anticipate that those seeds will be watered and grow, perhaps resulting in a person’s salvation. It’s the power of truth, the power of the Holy Spirit working in a person’s life.

We can recognize that there are barriers that keep people from receiving the gospel in their lives. Through conversation and perhaps other means, when these barriers are revealed, we can take the necessary steps - and live a compelling life - in order to remove barriers. In sales, we used to call it, “overcoming objections” - and we can pray and speak in order that those barriers can be addressed and eliminated.

We should be so grounded in our faith in Jesus Christ that His presence consumes every area of our lives.
