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. And, as people who have been redeemed by our Savior, we are dispatched to influence culture, so that others may come to know Him. So that generations to come might know the greatness of God. We can spread the aroma of Christ to those with whom we interact.

I don’t know when it may have begun - you probably just have to go ALL the way back. To the Garden. To the serpent, who said, “Did God really say?” After all, we could read just a few verses before that in the Bible where God laid out His plan for the sustenance of humanity - created male and female, intended to wed, bear children, and by so doing, to perpetuate the human race. Now, people seem to be stumbling over themselves to define what a woman is.

The Word of God is alive and powerful - it can penetrate the heart and reform the mind. When the Scriptures are proclaim, the potential for life change exists. Through devotion to the principles of Scripture, we can see the Lord work powerfully in and through us. And, we can be grateful for those who teach the Word to us.

Do we really believe that our prayers can make a change? The Bible teaches that faith-filled prayers can certainly alter the course of a person’s live and could adjust circumstances. Prayer can also adjust our own attitude and give us peace when there are rough times in our lives. When we connect with the power of Almighty God in faith, there can be amazing results!

The Biblical worldview that is based in Scripture teaches us how to see the world through the eyes of God’s Word. In enables us to discern between right and wrong and provides a way for us to contrast truth with error. We can develop a sense of critical thinking and discernment as we devote ourselves to the study of Scripture and renew our minds.

We know that there are dark forces who are aligned against the Kingdom of God. The Scriptures teach us about the existence of these purveyors of evil and show us what we can do about them. We can develop a sense of spiritual discernment to recognize what the enemy of our souls is up to and release the resources of God in order to overcome him in our lives, in our churches, and in our communities, because he is a defeated foe based on what Jesus has done through His death and resurrection.

We can be confident that God is moving in the earth today - we see the evidence all around us: people are publicly professing faith in Jesus Christ, the selfless work of the Church is continuing all around the world, and in communities all across the earth, Jesus is being lifted up regularly in the local church, either above ground or underground. Sure, there is persecution, yet the Church is continuing to strengthen, I believe.

Science and the Bible are consistent with one another - they are certainly not at odds, as some would have you believe. You might even say that science is a means through which the existence of God, the intricacies of Scripture, and the truth of the Bible can be proven. Science reinforces Biblical truth, it proves that God is true and trustworthy.

There are certainly consequences for following our conscience - that is the human mechanism given to us in order to know what is right and wrong, to be able to affirm what is good and reject what is evil. For the Christian, we are instructed to build up our conscience, so that we can know the direction of the Holy Spirit.

We can know that God has a purpose for our lives that He desires to fulfill - He calls us to a life of obedience, and to live each day with a sense of His presence with us and faithfulness to us. While we are not guaranteed tomorrow, we are empowered to be good stewards of the time - of the days - that He has given to us.

God has made our bodies to function in incredible ways - no wonder the Psalmist wrote that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Each day, we can think, we can breathe, in all but the most extreme cases, we can move. And, we have the capacity to refresh ourselves through sleep. The Bible says in Psalm 127:2 (ESV): “It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.”

There is a divine plan, a divine order that God has ordained, that provides sound and beneficial governance for human relationships. When we individually and collectively violate God’s standards, then there are consequences that we encounter. God’s ways are predicated on a love that is unselfish and pure, putting the needs of others first.

As the pastor I recently referred to in Fort Worth challenged the church, others are filling a vacuum that has been left by an absence of the Church being salt and light in the world today. We are to do more than present the gospel as one option among many, but to present Christ as the source of absolute truth and unlimited love. Karl Marx is dead, Muhammad is dead - Jesus is alive. He came to earth, He showed His love, He gave His life, so that we could have a personal relationship with God. The One True God. We have the answer. We know the answer. So, what is holding us back as the Church from boldly proclaiming the gospel of salvation?

Idolatry can come in many forms - from the very simple area of mis-prioritizing certain things in our lives so the the Lord is not in the first place in our lives to engaging in behaviors that put people in bondage; participating in activities that a person cannot quit, even if he or she wants to. When we surrender our will to the will of the ungodly, there are spiritual consequences.
