Way-Making Wednesday Noon Day Encouragement
From Pastor Carl E. Mitchell III

One of the greatest challenges for believers today is not whether we have convictions, but whether we are willing to stand on them when standing becomes uncomfortable. The world often encourages silence in the name of acceptance, but God calls His people to speak the truth in love and to never be ashamed of His Word.

Jesus reminded us in Matthew 10:32-33 (KJV):

“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”

Standing for what is right does not guarantee applause. Sometimes it brings criticism, misunderstanding, and opposition. Yet our responsibility is not to win popularity contests—it is to remain faithful to Christ. The Apostle Paul declared in Romans 1:16 (KJV):

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…”

As you move through this Wednesday, remember that God is a Way Maker. He will make a way for those who choose faithfulness over fear, truth over convenience, and obedience over approval. Not everyone will agree with your stand, but everyone should know what you stand for.

Galatians 1:10 (KJV) asks:

“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”

Today, walk boldly. Speak graciously. Love genuinely. Stand firmly. Let your life be a testimony that your faith is not hidden, your convictions are not negotiable, and your trust is in the Lord.

Prayer:
Father, give us the courage to stand for Your truth with humility, grace, and love. Help us never to compromise our faith for the approval of others. Strengthen us to be lights in a dark world and witnesses of Your goodness wherever we go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a blessed Way-Making Wednesday!

After a particularly challenging morning and a long trip home yesterday, it was a wonderful surprise to find a thoughtful birthday card waiting in my mailbox from my Truth Network family in honor of my birthday on May 19, 2026.

Small acts of kindness often arrive at just the right moment. I am truly grateful for the prayers, encouragement, friendship, and support of this amazing team. Thank you all for helping make my birthday special and for being such a blessing in my life.

With sincere appreciation,

Testify Tuesday – Speak the Truth in Love
A Word of Encouragement from District Elder Pastor Carl E. Mitchell III

Good morning, friends!

The meme says, “In this generation, it is considered worse to judge and expose evil than to do evil.” While we must be careful not to condemn people, the Bible is clear that God never calls His people to celebrate, excuse, or remain silent about sin.

The King James Bible tells us:

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
— Ephesians 5:11 (KJV)

God’s people are called to walk in truth, not compromise. There is a difference between self-righteous judgment and righteous discernment. Jesus said:

“Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
— John 7:24 (KJV)

On this Testify Tuesday, remember that your testimony is not just what God brought you out of—it is also your willingness to stand for truth when the world prefers comfort over conviction. We must speak the truth in love, expose darkness with light, and point people toward the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

Do not be afraid to stand on God’s Word. Truth may not always be popular, but it is always powerful.

Join us for Early Morning Prayer with Pastor Carl and Friends at 7:00 AM across social media platforms as we come together in faith, prayer, and encouragement.

Prayer Requests: 567-698-8428 (24 Hours a Day)

May the Lord strengthen you to walk in truth, live with integrity, and boldly testify of His goodness today.

Grace and Peace,
District Elder Pastor Carl E. Mitchell III
