Read Psalm 33:1-5
We can trust God's Word and His ways, even when we don’t understand our circumstances. This is crucial when counseling others — pointing them back to His steady faithfulness. Ask: Do I trust His Word more than my feelings

5: because of the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel

That is great news dear people!! If we KNOW Christ we have that blessed hope that we will be with Him in heaven and it has been revealed to us through His Word of truth in the gospel! Let's do the victory dance as we lead others to Christ!

When God closes one door He opens another. What doors God closes no one can open and what doors God opens no one can close!

It is a sad time in our world when our local pharmacies will dispense mifepristone to our young people without their parents knowledge and to any woman desiring to get rid of her unborn child. It is a grevious sin against God and His commandment to not murder. Anyone who takes the life of another, born or unborn, is committing murder. Many can't get decent health or dental care without paying exuberant prices so why is this so cheap?

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
What an awesome promise from God that if we bring out troubles to Him He will give us rest from them. We needn't worry and fret because our Lord has got this by His Righteous Right Hand!

You got hammered at the bar on Saturday but came to church on Sunday….
You can sit with me, you’re right where you need to be.

You’re a drug addict but came to church on Sunday….
You can sit with me, you’re right where you need to be.

You’re divorced and the last church you attended condemned you for it….
You can sit me, you’re right where you need to be.

You’ve had an abortion and it’s slowly eating away at your heart but you came to church on Sunday….
You can sit with me, you’re right where you need to be.

You’ve been unfaithful to your spouse but came to church on Sunday….
You can sit with me, you’re right where you need to be.

Here’s the thing, people don’t come to church on Sunday for you to sit in the pew and quietly judge them because you feel that you’re somehow better than them.

People come to church because in their deepest, darkest, most painful moments they heard about a man named Jesus that could save their soul and they’d like to know him.

The man that just snorted co***ne off his kitchen table isn’t a bigger sinner than you who told your boss a lie on Monday so you could leave work early.

The woman that had an abortion 10 years ago isn’t a bigger sinner than you who flipped a man off in traffic last week because he cut you off.

The drunk man laying on the bar isn’t a bigger sinner than you who occasionally has too much to drink at home in private.

The woman that just got caught cheating on her husband isn’t a bigger sinner than you who had s*x with your now husband before you were married.

Stop judging others because their sin is different than yours.

Romans 3:23-24 says “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

There isn’t a person in this world too bad, too broken, too mean, or too damaged for Jesus to save.
Romans 10:13 says “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
