When the Going Gets Tough - blog 3/20/20

The true plague in this world is unbelief.
(cp. Mt 10:26-39)

The big-picture is so BIG that it humbles us.

Ro 5:8 [Amplified Classic]
But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.

The big-picture is so BIG that it humbles us.

Jas 4:6 [Amplified]
But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “God is opposed to the proud and haughty, but [continually] gives [the gift of] grace to the humble [who turn away from self-righteousness].”

Jn 5:39
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me.

“there is nothing new under the sun”
Today, it’s this “crisis”, tomorrow, it’s yet another, and so on. The only constant in life is change. However, with Christ, the Rock, our minds don’t have to waver, our hearts may remain steady, our peace unshakable - all of these things are God-given rights as saints in Christ!

MacDonald on 2Co 10:5
All men’s teachings and speculations must be judged in the light of the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul would not condemn human reasoning as such, but would warn that we must not allow our intellects to be exercised in defiance of the Lord and in disobedience to Him.
