God isn't calling you to worry about things He has already arranged and in full control of.

David's mighty men are one of the most fascinating groups in Scripture. They began as men who were distressed, in debt, and discouraged, yet under David's leadership, they became fierce warriors of courage, loyalty, and faithfulness (1 Samuel 22:1-2; 2 Samuel 23:8-39; 1 Chronicles 11:10-47). God often does His greatest work through ordinary men who are willing to follow Him and persevere through hardship.

Everyone, please pray for Calvin and his family!
Pray for my family. My mom (age 87) a faithful Christian, is drawing very close to meeting Jesus and entering her heavenly home. She is on life support in ICU. We are here with her, during what may be her final days on earth. As Christians, our hope is not this world. Our treasures are in Heaven, and Jesus our resurrection life. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” Photo : My Dad (88), and Krista my wife. P2: My Mom, at Christmas. Thank you for your prayers and your love. To God be all the glory, forever.

That claim is simply false. The deadliest events in human history were not primarily religious wars. The two World Wars alone killed tens of millions of people. Add in the atrocities committed by explicitly atheistic regimes such as Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China, and Pol Pot's Cambodia, and the death toll reaches well over 100 million. Historians generally estimate that religious wars account for only a small fraction of humanity's violent deaths. People have killed for power, territory, ethnicity, resources, politics, and ideology far more often than for religion. According to the work of historians Charles Phillips and Alan Axelrod in the multi-volume Encyclopedia of Wars, only about 123 of 1,763 recorded wars were classified as primarily religious in nature. That works out to roughly: 123 ÷ 1,763 = 6.98% So approximately 7% of wars were primarily religious wars. If we're going to discuss history, let's discuss actual history.
Replying to @ScottRoberts
Please Scott. Try to get some help .. REAL help.. not any of that religious stuff ! In history people have died/been slaughtered for, land, property, food, mates, territory, etc But studies have shown, more have died/been killed for/in the name of god than for any other reason.

The local church is not optional decoration for the Christian life. It is where believers are taught, corrected, shepherded, strengthened, and equipped for the ministry that God Himself has for them do.

Before the day gets crowded, sit with Scripture. God is not silent. We are often just distracted.

Good morning, everyone. The Christian life is not fueled by "vibes." It is strengthened by truth, prayer, obedience, and grace.

As the day comes to an end, remember this: God has never once failed to keep a promise. Rest tonight knowing that the same Lord who carried you through today will be faithful again tomorrow. May His will be done. All glory to God. Good night.

Elon musk is a trillionaire and like the rest of us will leave this earth with nothing but his soul someday. Elon, you need Jesus Christ, we all need Him. Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Jesus is infinitely worthy of following, obeying, loving, and serving. No sacrifice made for Him compares to what He has done for us.

As the pulpit goes, so goes Christianity. Where there is a sense of God in the pulpit, there will be a sense of God in the church. Where there is shallowness in the pulpit, there will be shallow souls in the church.

The idol of niceness has convinced many Christians that warning people is unloving. The prophets, apostles, and Jesus did not agree.

10 questions for your Bible reading: 1. What does this reveal about God? 2. What did this mean to the original audience? 3. What does this teach about human nature? 4. What does this expose in me? 5. Is there a sin to repent of? 6. Is there an example to follow or avoid? 7. Is it only describing an incident, or is God prescribing a command? 8. How does this point to Christ? 9. How does this fit into the larger story of Scripture? 10. How should I obey what I've read today? Don't just read the Bible. Let the Bible read you.

Don't let social media, news headlines, influencers, politicians, or even pastors become your ultimate authority. Filter everything you hear and read through the lens of Scripture. God's Word is truth, and it is the standard by which every claim, opinion, and worldview should be tested. (Remember Acts 17:11)

The world is noisy. The news never stops. Social media never sleeps. But God is still on His throne. Close your eyes tonight knowing that Christ reigns, His promises stand, and His mercies will be new again in the morning. Sleep well. The King is awake.
