Perspectives from Space - Artemis II

Zephaniah Hot Take

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1280525/fan_mail/new] Ever read the book of Zephaniah? It’s only three chapters and provides great insight into who God is. God’s promise of destruction is counteracted with his promise of hope and salvation. Why would God destroy everything? Doesn’t that make God evil? As one who has the power to make everything right again, God will bring justice to the world. That means that everyone who has done a bad thing is subject to that judgement.  The promise of Jesus is a redemption from those mistakes of the past. Mercy for those who ask for it, and follow in his ways. The hope that is in the Christian extends past this life to life everlasting.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions?

Integrity in Politics

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1280525/fan_mail/new] Jesus’s description of integrity among all followers of His is evident in all our walks of life. Every job will question and test your integrity. Take no more than required. Have balanced scales and honest dealings. These are central to the Bible’s message.  Our politicians are no different. Are our leaders people of integrity? Are we only voting for policies and not people. Something to think about.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church?

Joy is a Gift From Above

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1280525/fan_mail/new] Ecclesiastes is a book of joy. The tone may not be entirely happy, but the wisdom from the book identifies things in this life that are designed to bring joy.  Are you seeking joy? Love? Fulfillment? Nostalgia? Wealth? What brings you joy may not ultimately be fulfilled. Is this joy vain? Seek the things above, where treasures can be stored that cannot be stolen.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions?

Peer Pressure: A Tale of Two Sauls

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1280525/fan_mail/new] The overwhelming sensation we feel to be like others causes us to do things we don’t want to do. When that becomes our identity, crisis inevitably follows.  A lesson can be taken from King Saul of Israel. His decision to disobey God’s command lost him the kingdom. His excuse was he feared the people. His sin was not justified, and the consequence of his sin plagued him the rest of his life.  Saul of Tarsus, whom we know as the apostle Paul, was also subject to peer pressure. However, being unmoved by its influence, continued to strive for the gospel of liberty of Jesus Christ. Galatians 2 explains that there was strong influence to enforce the law on converted Christians. This was such a strong influence, Peter and Barbabus was swept away with it.  Peer pressure is something we all feel, for good or ill. However, our stand for the gospel of Christ need be bolstered by the one who restores all to Himself in love.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church?
