THIS IS HOPE

Good morning, it’s Rob! The temperature is dropping and soon the snow will be falling!

To be clear, this is not a political statement. This message is actually more for the Christian Church regarding the current state of our moral decline as a country beginning in our highest ranking offices of national leadership, both in the Church and in the government.

Whether it is due to a lack of doctrinal authority or simply because the Church desires relevance to their peers above holiness to their God we are gravitating towards a message of non-absolutes where truth is relative and morality is negotiable.

Doing this the Church goes from being a beacon of Peace and a standard of Truth, to being diluted and ineffective in fulfilling their God given mandate to present the message of the Gospel, the only Hope for the redemption of the human race.

The Church of Jesus Christ must never allow popular opinion, social media, the current crisis or any world power to dictate the message that flows from the pulpit. The Church body and function are holy ground. The Church does not belong to the world, but is assigned to be the Light in the world. Any agreement the Church makes to partner with any ideology that is counter to the Church’s mandate will find themselves on the wrong side of eternity.

Scripture is very clear to warn us that engaging in friendship with the world’s system is declaring our opposition of God.

Encourage the congregation of family & friends entrusted to you to stand strong, remain bold in their faith, cling to Christ, and humbly respond in the defense of the Gospel to any form of power that threatens to overtake lordship of the Church and mute its message.

Most of all trust in the Lord to direct your ability to lead as you discern that which is reasonable regarding appropriate steps in dealing with any crisis versus blindly succumbing to those who are exercising overreaching attempts to mandate our submission to the current narrative and cripple the Church’s ability to fulfill our Mission.

As followers of Christ we must always remember our assigned priority. JESUS reminds us that in the end, regardless of the world climate, the current crisis or popular narrative, our response is to always ensure we are continually sharing the Gospel message of God’s Kingdom so that everyone will hear it. Matthew 24:14

This is Hope, this is God’s love, this is JESUS!

So let us tell of the Lord’s greatness and exalt his name together.
Psalms 34:3

God bless you and your precious families and have a wonderful day!
