We can incorrectly view our trials as interruptions or inconveniences. Or, we can take those opportunities to trust in God more fully, to surrender our lives more wholeheartedly.
Through any number of difficulties, we can stand strong in the Lord and enjoy His victory and wisdom, knowing that He is with us and He is working to bring us more in conformity to His will.

It’s really very simple in the Christian life: we accept what God accepts and we reject what He rejects - our deeply-held beliefs should not be based on personal opinion, but on the Word of God. Now, there are areas to which the Scripture does not speak, and we can be grateful for the latitude. But, the Bible speaks to so many issues - either by direct pronouncement or by direct principles.

We have to remember that we have been placed here on this earth, in the city or community where we live, in order to be a light for the gospel to those with whom we interact. The primary method of reaching people for Christ is the proclamation of truth. That can be done in a variety of ways - as God leads.

Fame is fleeting, and while we would hope to leave a legacy behind that can impact people for our generation and the generations to come, we should always be cognizant that God is calling us to be faithful to Him and that our ultimate reward is in heaven eternally. Our citizenship in heaven should drive what we pursue and accomplish here on earth.

We can be challenged to recognize that God has placed us in this world and calls us to take our eyes off ourselves, to look to Him, and see others through His eyes. Who knows what sort of interaction we might have today that will produce fruit in the lives of another? God knows, and He is so faithful to arrange divine encounters for us.

The world is full of those who wish to use their authority to subvert others and force them to behave in a certain way, perhaps in violation of their deeply-held beliefs.  There are matters of conscience that governments should respect.  But King George III of Great Britain was just another king who exceeded the boundaries of power and rejected the Romans 13 model of government.  He, British “subjects” and American colonists all paid a heavy price.  But, the price was worth it to the revolutionaries, who depended on the Lord and crafted a new nation, with a form of government that was predicated on freedom.

The 10 Commandments say “no other gods,” “no graven images,” but our position collectively is not to humble ourselves before God, but to worship idols, false gods, of our own making. If we are willing to reject those things that distract us and humble ourselves before Almighty God, He will do incredible things in our midst. He will demonstrate His power through the Church - and when He does that, we will certainly have plenty to celebrate, to praise Him for!

We are beginning the week that will climax with the celebration of our nation’s 250th birthday. This should ideally be a time for Americans to reflect on the rich history of our nation and the principles upon which we were founded, principles that are consistent with Biblical truth and a devotion to Almighty God. Our Founders produced a framework through which we could unify to efficiently govern ourselves and to address monumental challenges.

We have to be so careful to, as the Bible directs us, discern the spirits. We are called to be spiritually-minded, and that means to view the ideas and experiences we encounter from a spiritual perspective. There are certainly elements in the unseen space, as Ephesians teaches us, that are aligned with God and those that are not. By applying Biblical discernment, we must reject ideas that do not line up with the teachings of Scripture.

We have seen nations and regimes come and go, but what has been described as the “American experiment,” a unique experiment in self-governance, has been sustained for this 2-1/2 century time frame. And, I believe that our collective trust in God and Biblical principles that have contributed to its founding have led to our nation enduring. The Bible says in Psalm 33:12 (ESV): “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!”

When it comes to addressing cultural issues from a Biblical perspective, there are a number of avenues at our disposal as followers of Christ. We can certainly be prayerful. And vocal. Using our voices to influence hearts and minds so that people might open their eyes to the truth of Scripture. We can even pray for and petition our leaders - and select leaders who support policies that would be beneficial to our culture based on Godly wisdom.

There is disturbing news out the U.K. regarding thousands of women and girls who have been the victims of unspeakable acts.  The ties to radical Islam are unmistakable. The means to the Islamist end is far different than the furtherance of the Christian gospel and the adherence to the Great Commission, predicated on the love of our Savior, who died for us.  While we are called to love all, we must reject practices that do not comport with the perspectives of the Scriptures. And, we must not be deceived into tolerating what does not save.

In the midst of despair, there is hope for those who have become victims of this sinful practice of human trafficking, an expression of desires that have not been brought to the cross and put to death. Therefore, this culture of disregard and disrespect continues to build victims and leaving a trail of broken lives.  We can praise God for those instances of rescues and realize that while sin has its power, Jesus came to overcome it.

The World Cup presents a ministry opportunity to those who will attend from various countries, and a selected number of players themselves see it as a platform through which they can testify to the presence of Christ within them. 1st Corinthians 10:31 (ESV) states: “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”

God has made it possible for us to have a relationship with Him through our acceptance of His one and only Son as the Savior of our lives. We can come to Him, we can know His presence, and we can experience the community of believers who have also made that profession of faith in Him. In an era in which there is widespread loneliness and isolation, God tells us that He will be with us.

We can be careful to make sure that we dedicate ourselves to the Lord and to what is important, according to His principles. We can consider ourselves stewards to the days that God has given to us, that we might be about the business of the Kingdom; as Jesus said, His “Father’s business.”

It’s been some 10 years since the Obama administration issued a “Dear Colleague” letter to protect the so-called “rights” of transgender students in public schools.  It opened the floodgates to all sorts of damaging ideas with regard to sexuality, launching a permissive culture in which students could explore these ideas.  It’s going to take some time to excise this ideology from various sectors of our culture. It didn’t happen overnight, and I submit progress has been made.

We should be very careful to make sure that we are acting like who we say we are:  in other words, if we claim the name “Christian” or “Christ-follower,” our actions and our words should reflect Christ.  We are His representatives, and the way we behave should draw people to Him.

No matter what occupation or what platform to which God has called us, we can be careful to give glory to Him.  We should always take care to preserve our sense of dedication to Him, and realize that every day, in the words we speak and the actions we take, that we are placed in a position through which He should receive the glory.

The Bible teaches us not only about our individual prayer life, as well call upon and commune with God, but it also provides direction on corporate prayer.  Jesus spoke about two or more coming together to agree together.  And, the people who are closest to us, our families, can be incredible prayer partners for us, and we can recognize how God has placed them in our lives.

It seems that so many in our society, in positions of authority, don’t understand that people of faith should be treated fairly, not excluded from programs just because they are faith-based, because of a phony fear of violating the so-called “separation of church and state.”  A Biblical faith perspective should always be a net positive, not a disqualifying negative.
