Unity in Christ: Lessons From the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) 

In Acts 15, we encounter a pivotal moment in the early Church — a moment when the unity of believers was at stake. With Gentiles flocking to Christ, a pressing question arose: Do Gentile Christians need to obey the Jewish laws to be fully part of God's people? This issue was not merely academic; it was a matter of fellowship, and how it was handled set a crucial precedent for the Church’s relationships within itself and with the world. 

The Jerusalem Council (Acts 15:1–35) convened to address this debate. There were strong feelings on both sides, but through open dialogue and biblical reflection, the apostles and elders arrived at a crucial decision: Salvation is by faith in Christ alone, not by adherence to the Jewish law. This decision was momentous because it laid the foundation for a Gospel that transcends cultural and ethnic boundaries. As Dr. Estes pointed out in his chapel sermon, it was a decision about unity in Christ, a unity that breaks down the dividing walls between Jew and Gentile, and, by extension, between all people. 

The Jerusalem Council’s decision did not come easily, but it was guided by several key principles. Here are a few: 

1. Face the issue openly: The council didn’t shy away from the tension. The issue was too significant to sweep under the rug. Christians today can learn from this example — when faced with difficult issues in our churches, we must engage them with honesty and clarity. 

2. Avoid political compromise: The decision wasn’t driven by political pressures or the desire to please one group over another. The council didn’t take the easy way out by placating certain factions. This teaches us that as Christians, we must make decisions not based on convenience but on what honors God and reflects His truth. 

3. Scriptural discernment: The council's final decision was rooted in Scripture. Peter’s testimony (Acts 15:7–11) and Paul’s report (Acts 15:12) revealed how God had been at work in the lives of Gentiles. Our decisions today must be similarly guided by God’s Word. We must constantly ask, "What does Scripture say?" 

In conclusion, Dr. Estes reminded us that "God has an agenda that includes all nations." The Jerusalem Council’s decision illustrates that, despite differences, we are united in Christ — our shared faith, not our traditions, defines who we are. As we face differences in our churches today, we should approach them with the same commitment to truth and unity that characterized the Jerusalem Council. If we do, the world will see Christ in not just our theology but our love for one another. 

Endurance and Faithfulness: Paul’s Urgent Message to Timothy

In 2 Timothy 2, we find some of the Apostle Paul’s final recorded words — a powerful and urgent call to his young protégé, Timothy. Imprisoned in a Roman dungeon, Paul knew his time was running out. His message to Timothy wasn’t just about survival; it was a call to thrive in ministry and stay true to God’s Word, even in the face of difficulty. For us today, Paul’s words carry vital lessons about endurance, faithfulness, and the careful handling of Scripture.

1. Be Accurate with God’s Word

Paul begins his urgent message by warning Timothy to be accurate in his handling of the Scriptures. In verses 14-15, he says, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” The accuracy of our interpretation matters. Paul cautioned against false teaching and misinterpretation of God’s Word, emphasizing that we should not fall into the trap of bending Scripture to fit personal agendas or cultural trends. As Augustine wisely stated, “If you believe what you like in the gospel and reject what you don’t like, you are not truly following God's Word.” We are called to handle the Bible with care, recognizing that it is a powerful tool for transformation — one that must be used faithfully, not carelessly.

2. Handle the Word of God with Precision

In verse 15, Paul urges Timothy to “cut it straight.” This means interpreting Scripture with precision and skill, staying true to the intended meaning of each passage. The Bible is a sword, and just as a sword must be handled with care, so must the Word of God. Misusing Scripture isn’t a harmless mistake — it can have far-reaching consequences. We must study the Bible diligently, recognizing that each passage has one primary meaning and interpretation matters. Paul’s reminder is clear: don’t let lazy or careless handling of God’s Word shape your faith or the faith of others. It takes effort, but it’s worth it.

3. Do Your Best to Be Diligent

Paul tells Timothy, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved” (2 Timothy 2:15). Being faithful to God’s Word requires more than a passing glance — it requires diligence, effort, and dedication. This doesn’t mean perfection, but it does mean taking the study of Scripture seriously, seeking to understand it deeply, and applying it faithfully. Staying motivated in our spiritual growth can be tough, but Paul encourages us to stay focused and press on. The goal isn’t just to understand Scripture but to apply it to our lives, living in a way that pleases God. The Lord is our boss in life, and we want to one day hear Him say, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

4. Endure and Remain Faithful

Paul’s final message to Timothy and to us in this chapter is clear: endure. Life will bring hardship, and the Christian walk isn’t always easy. But Paul urges Timothy to stay strong and faithful, even in difficult times. He reminds him to remember the people who taught him the truths of Scripture, and to hold on to those truths no matter what challenges come his way. The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint. We are called to endure through trials, doubts, and suffering. But as we endure, we also grow. And as we remain faithful, we become the kind of people the next generation can look to for wisdom and strength.

Action Steps:

1. Study God’s Word with Care: Make it a priority to dive into Scripture, interpreting it accurately and thoughtfully. Don’t rush through it; take time to understand its true meaning.
2. Handle Scripture with Precision: Commit to “cutting it straight” in your interpretation and application of God’s Word. Be diligent and accurate.
3. Stay Diligent and Faithful: Do your best in your spiritual journey. Put in the effort to grow and remain faithful to God’s calling on your life.
4. Endure in the Face of Hardship: Life won’t always be easy, but Paul’s example shows us that endurance and faithfulness through tough times are part of the journey.

Paul’s final words to Timothy remain a blueprint for us today: Be faithful, be diligent, and handle God’s Word with care. As we endure and press on, we honor God and set a faithful example for those who follow.

Finding Healing in the Struggle: Lessons from Elijah in 1 Kings 19

Life often feels overwhelming. Everything on the outside can appear fine, yet inwardly, you’re hurting. You’re doing everything right, and still, the weight of life presses down. What do you do when the emotional toll of trauma, fear, and isolation takes over, and you don't know how to move forward? In 1 Kings 19, the prophet Elijah faced just this kind of struggle. After a mountaintop victory, he found himself running for his life from Queen Jezebel and consumed with fear, self-doubt, and loneliness. Elijah had done everything right, but he was still hurting. His story offers powerful lessons for anyone struggling with mental health and emotional pain.

Key Points from Elijah's Story:

You Can't Fix It Alone

Elijah’s fear and exhaustion led him to isolate himself in a cave, overwhelmed by the thought that he was the only one left faithful to God. When God asked him, “What are you doing here?” (1 Kings 19:9), Elijah’s response was filled with despair. Just as Elijah couldn’t face his crisis alone, neither can we. We need to invite God into both our hearts and our thoughts, processing our trauma and emotions in His presence.

The Danger of Isolation

In verses 3-4, Elijah runs 100 miles, seeking physical, spiritual, and emotional isolation. Isolation is often a response to pain, but it fuels anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. God never designed us to walk alone through our struggles. Whether it's pushing others away or retreating into ourselves, isolation keeps us from God's healing plan. Remember, God didn’t leave Elijah in the cave — He met him where he was.

What You Do with Your Emotions Matters

Elijah’s emotional response led him to feelings of failure and hopelessness. He couldn’t control the events in his life, but he could control his response to them. God didn’t just tell Elijah to get over his fear and despair; He provided rest and nourishment first (1 Kings 19:5-8). Emotions are valid, but allowing them to dictate our actions leads to destructive patterns. What we choose to do with our emotions shapes our paths. Don’t let fear or despair make your decisions for you.

You Are Never Alone

Despite Elijah’s deep sense of isolation, God was always with him, even in his darkest moments. God provided for Elijah physically, emotionally, and spiritually. God’s presence is constant, even when we feel alone. Healing doesn’t always come instantly, but the process of restoration begins with acknowledging that God is with us, and He will lead us forward. Elijah was called to move forward, and so are we.

Action Steps:

1. Process Your Emotions: Don’t rush to “fix” your feelings. Allow yourself the space to process, mourn, and heal. Invite Jesus into those thoughts and emotions.
2. Don’t Isolate: Reach out to others who can offer support. Even when you feel like shutting down, remind yourself that God designed us for community.
3. Reframe Your Thoughts: Negative self-talk can trap you in a cycle of despair. Take your thoughts captive and focus on what God has already done for you. His promises are greater than your circumstances.
4. Remember You’re Not Alone: When things seem hopeless, remind yourself that God is always with you. He’s already walking beside you through the journey of healing.

Elijah’s story reminds us that God doesn’t leave us to navigate life’s challenges alone. Even in the darkest moments, He’s working behind the scenes, guiding us back to His peace and purpose. If you’re struggling today, remember healing starts with acknowledging God’s presence and letting Him lead you out of the cave. You are not alone. Healing is possible — take it one step at a time, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.

Today in chapel, Dr. Thomas White continued his sermon series in Joshua, showing how the faithful God worked in the midst of an unfaithful people in chapters 13-19. Despite God’s continual faithfulness, the Israelites struggled with disobedience and complacency, much like we do today. These chapters offer critical lessons about trusting in God's promises and not resting on past victories.

Seven Key Concepts from Joshua 13-19

First, there was land to still be conquered for Israel (Joshua 13:1–7). Although much of the land had been conquered, Joshua was told that more remained to be taken. This reflects that God’s work is never truly complete. There’s always more to be done in our walk with Him. Joshua, despite his old age, did not retire but continued to lead, showing us that our spiritual journey is lifelong and that we must keep pressing on in obedience.

Second, the allotment of the land to the tribes highlights Israel’s unity (Joshua 13:8–33). This moment is a fulfillment of God’s promises, but it also foreshadows the eventual division of Israel. For us today, it is a reminder of the importance of unity within the Church. Despite differences, we must remain united in Christ and His mission.

Third, the Israelites failed to fully defeat their enemies as the Lord had commanded them to. They were instructed to drive out all the Canaanites from the land, but instead they allowed remnants of the enemy to remain. This failure reflects our own tendency to compromise and leave unchecked sin in our lives. Dr. White implored the chapel to “make war with [their] sin and annihilate it,” not just leave it alone or make peace with it.

Fourth, Joshua 13:14 and other passages talk about the tribe of Levi’s land inheritance — or lack thereof. Unlike the other tribes, the Levites did not receive a land inheritance. Instead, they were to receive the Lord Himself as their inheritance. This reminds us that the greatest inheritance we have is not in earthly possessions but in God Himself. Jesus Christ is the ultimate pursuit and fulfillment of our lives.

Fifth, the Lord offers grace and equality for all, as we see in Joshua 17:3–6 and in Numbers 27. The daughters of Zelophehad fought for their inheritance, challenging the norms of the time. God responded by giving them their rightful share. This teaches us that God values all people and that His Word is the final authority on matters of justice.

Sixth, Joshua 17:14–16 shows the tribe of Joseph expressing discontentment with their allotment of land, complaining instead of trusting God’s provision. This attitude reflects the Israelites’ ongoing struggle to fully rely on God, just as we often find ourselves grumbling when we don’t get what we want. Joshua contrasted with this attitude by fully trusting God in all things, whether they were big or small, easy or hard.

And finally, Joshua highlights how faithful God is to His unfaithful people. As we look at the Israelites, we see a pattern of not fully trusting God despite all He has done. Have we, like them, become satisfied with past spiritual victories and stopped trusting God for the challenges ahead? Let us remember that God’s faithfulness requires our ongoing obedience and trust.

These chapters of Joshua remind us that God is faithful even when we are unfaithful. Our greatest inheritance is found in Him, and we are called to trust in His promises every day.

Finding Comfort in the Everlasting God: Reflections on Isaiah 40

In times of struggle and doubt, it’s easy to feel like we’re alone, forgotten by the very God who promises to never leave us. Israel felt this way as they wrestled with sin, exile, and the temptation to chase after idols. But in Isaiah 40, God speaks directly to His people, offering a powerful message of comfort that still speaks to us today.

1. God Has Not Failed

Isaiah 40 begins with a comforting word: “Comfort, comfort my people, says your God” (Isaiah 40:1). Despite Israel’s disobedience, God’s everlasting promises remain secure. Just as Israel was tempted to believe that God had forgotten them during their exile, we too may find ourselves doubting God’s presence when life is hard. But God’s Word tells us that the Everlasting God has not failed. His promises stand firm, and His glory is coming. In our doubts and struggles, we are reminded in Isaiah 40:8 that “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” While we are frail and fleeting, the Word of God is eternal. God’s Word will not fail — He is the ultimate comfort for His people.

2. The Coming of God’s Glory in Jesus

Isaiah 40 doesn’t just point to God’s greatness and promises; it also points to a future hope — the coming of God’s glory. Earlier prophecies in Isaiah (such as Isaiah 9) foretold that the glory of God would come in flesh, and we know this was ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. In John 1:14, the Apostle John writes, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory.” Jesus is the fulfillment of Israel’s comfort, the Savior who would come to save and restore His people. This is the same Savior who walked with us, experienced our pain, and offers us ultimate peace. The glory of God is not distant or abstract; it is personal and tangible through Jesus Christ.

3. Waiting on the Lord

In the midst of hardship, Isaiah 40 offers encouragement: “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). Waiting on the Lord doesn’t mean passively doing nothing — it’s an active, hopeful expectation that God will show up in His time and in His way. Those who wait on the Lord will find renewed strength and rest, even when they feel like they’re about to give up. The truth is, we’re not meant to carry our burdens alone. The Lord promises to sustain us, and in our weakness, His strength is made perfect (2 Corinthians 12:9). Our pain is not without purpose — it refines us and leads us back to the Savior who can heal, restore, and renew.

Action Steps:

1. Meditate on God’s Word: Spend time daily reflecting on God’s promises in Isaiah 40 and beyond. Let His Word remind you that He has not failed you.
2. Wait on the Lord: In moments of weakness, commit to waiting on the Lord for renewed strength. This means trusting that God will show up even when you can’t see the way forward.
3. Find Comfort in Jesus: Remember that the ultimate comfort God offers is found in the person of Jesus Christ. He came to save us, walk with us through suffering, and offer us peace.

Conclusion

When life is hard, remember that God is your comfort. Even in the darkest moments, the Everlasting God has not failed — His Word stands forever, His glory is coming, and He is the ultimate source of our hope and strength. May we find rest in His presence, knowing that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.

Forgiveness: A Process of Letting Go and Charging It to Jesus' Account

In life, we all encounter hurt, whether from betrayal, loss, or deep, emotional wounds. In those moments, it’s easy to wish that forgiveness was simple and that a heartfelt “I’m sorry” could immediately heal the pain. But as many of us know, forgiveness is rarely that straightforward. The reality is that wounds leave lasting scars, and the debts others owe us — whether from words, actions, or neglect — are not so easily paid. So, how do we forgive when the hurt seems too great to bear?

A powerful example of forgiveness can be found in the book of Philemon. This short letter in the New Testament tells the story of Onesimus, a runaway slave who stole from his master, Philemon. Onesimus met the apostle Paul and became a Christian. Paul, recognizing the pain caused by Onesimus’s actions, encouraged him to return to Philemon and seek forgiveness. Paul went a step further, offering to pay the debt Onesimus owed (Philemon 1:18). In essence, Paul told Philemon: “Charge it to my account.”

This story is a poignant reminder that forgiveness is not about simply excusing the wrong. It’s about acknowledging the debt and choosing to release it because someone else is willing to pay it.

In this passage, we see three key points that can guide us toward true forgiveness:

Forgiveness Is a Process

Paul’s willingness to “charge” Onesimus’s debt to his own account illustrates a crucial point: Forgiveness isn’t a one-time decision. When we experience hurt, we often find ourselves revisiting the pain over and over again. Each time we do, we’re faced with a choice: to hold on to bitterness or to let go. Forgiveness is an ongoing process, and we must continually choose to release the debt.

Jesus Has Already Paid the Debt

Just as Paul took on Onesimus’s debt, Jesus has taken on our sins and the emotional debts others owe us. In Colossians 2:14, Paul writes, “He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross.” The debt has been paid in full. This truth gives us the strength to forgive because we recognize that Jesus has already taken the burden of our pain.

Charging It to Jesus’ Account

The most powerful part of forgiveness is the decision to “charge it” to someone else’s account. When we feel anger, bitterness, or hurt rise up, we can consciously choose to charge those feelings to Jesus. He paid the debt, and it’s by His grace that we can let go of our right to retaliate. This act of releasing the hurt is a continual one, and with each moment, we experience the freedom that comes from forgiving.

Action Steps:

1. Acknowledge the Debt: Reflect on the wounds others have caused you. What emotional or spiritual debts do they owe you?
2. Remember Jesus’ Sacrifice: When struggling with unforgiveness, remind yourself that Jesus has already paid the price for those wrongs.
3. Charge It to Jesus’ Account: Each time you feel the weight of bitterness or anger; choose to let go by “charging” the debt to Jesus. Trust that He has already covered it.
4. Forgiveness is not easy. It’s a process that requires grace and persistence. But as we allow Jesus to take on the debts of our hurts, we experience true freedom — a freedom to forgive, heal, and move forward.

Key Verse: “Charge it to my account.” – Philemon 1:18

In today’s chapel service, Senior Class Chaplain Fletcher Colgan led the student body through an insightful and convicting sermon from 2 Corinthians 4:7-18, focusing on the true nature of the Gospel and how it challenges our worldly notions of success, comfort, and strength. In a city like Corinth, where self-boasting and pagan ideals were the norms, Paul’s ministry was often viewed with skepticism. Fletcher’s message invited us to examine whether our own faith is shaped by the cross of Christ or by the ideals of the culture around us.

The city of Corinth was notorious for its indulgent pagan culture. Many there saw Paul’s apostolic ministry as foolish, especially in a world that valued strength, status, and self-promotion. Paul emphasized that his ministry was not about boasting in human achievement but about boasting in the Lord.

This prompted a critical question for us to reflect on: Is our Christianity shaped by the American culture of self-sufficiency and success, or is it oriented by the hope of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on the cross?

In our lives, we face struggles that can often feel like death — illness, the loss of loved ones, financial hardship, and joblessness. Fletcher reminded us that these challenges are not signs of God’s absence. Rather, they are the very means by which God draws us closer to Him, revealing His sustaining presence in our weakness.

Fletcher highlighted Paul’s willingness to die daily for the sake of others. “Paul was willing to lay his life down each day so that the Corinthians might come to know, see, and experience the love of God.” This radical self-sacrifice was not driven by a desire for comfort or safety but by a deep love for others and a commitment to proclaiming the Gospel. Fletcher challenged us with this truth: “Your neighbors will not come to know the love of God through our pursuit of comfort and safety.”

As followers of Christ, we are called to take up our cross daily, knowing that suffering for the sake of the Gospel is not in vain. In fact, it is often through pain and affliction that we come to experience the glory of God more fully. Fletcher reminded us that “glory is the outcome of affliction.” This truth that is ultimately rooted in the cross, where Jesus’ suffering led to the redemption of the world.

Application:

As we move forward into the next chapters of our lives, Fletcher’s message left us with a powerful call: to live lives that are not motivated by worldly standards of success or comfort but by the glory of God and the power of the Gospel. When we allow God to use our weaknesses and afflictions for His purposes, we reflect His glory and make His love known to the world.

God Saves Us to Send Us: A Call to Bold Evangelism

Shane Pruitt, National Director of Next Gen Evangelism for the North American Mission Board, shared an urgent and empowering message from 2 Corinthians 5:17-20. The core of his sermon was clear: God saves us to send us. As followers of Christ, we are not just saved for our own benefit but for a higher calling—reconciliation with God and spreading His message of salvation.

Pruitt began by emphasizing that this transformation is not just internal; it’s the beginning of a new mission. Our identity as believers comes with responsibility. We have been entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18). Pruitt reminded us that this mission is not reserved for the "super-Christians" or the "all-stars" — there is only one superstar, and His name is Jesus. Our role as His followers is to know Him and make Him known.

One of the enemy’s most powerful tactics, Pruitt explained, is using our past to keep us sidelined. He encouraged the chapel audience, "The next time Satan tries to remind you of your past, remind him of his future." The past does not define us; our identity in Christ does. Jesus has washed away our sins, and now we are equipped to boldly share the Gospel. No one is too far gone for Jesus to save. Pruitt’s challenge was clear: Don’t let your past hinder your present mission.

Pruitt outlined three essential aspects of the believer's call to evangelism:

1. Ministry: We are all ministers of reconciliation. This is not an option; it’s a command for every believer.
2. Message: The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the message we are called to deliver. Jesus is the only solution to the world’s brokenness. In a world that says, "Follow your heart," Christians must respond, "No, follow Jesus."
3. Means: We have been given everything we need to share the message — prayer, boldness, and the Holy Spirit's power.

Pruitt passionately reminded the audience of the urgency of our mission. Heaven is real, but so is hell. Jesus is returning, and every day brings us closer to His return. Our calling is to plead with people to be reconciled to God. As Pruitt put it, “We are begging people to know Jesus.” And while the task is great, we are not alone. Jesus, in the Great Commission, promises His presence always (Matthew 28:19-20).

Ultimately, Pruitt reminded everyone that the purpose of life is not about us — it’s about God’s glory. "It is God’s ministry, message, and mission, and He invited us to come along." Every believer has been called to share the good news and serve the world for God’s Kingdom.

As we go about our daily lives, let us remember that God has saved us for a reason: to go and tell others about the transforming power of Jesus Christ. And as we step into this mission, we can do so with the boldness that comes only from Him.

The Real Jesus: Worthy of Our Worship

In today’s world, many people are crafting a version of Jesus that fits their own preferences, ideas, and desires. This "Play-Doh Jesus" is shaped more by human thought than by the truth of Scripture. But we must be careful not to fall into the trap of creating a Jesus in our own image. If we do, we are simply making an idol, a false version of Christ that can never fulfill us. The real Jesus, as revealed in the Bible, is the only one worthy of our worship.

In Colossians 1, Paul provides us with a powerful description of the true Jesus. Understanding who Jesus really is will not only deepen our faith but also ensure we live in alignment with God’s purposes. Here are six key truths about the real Jesus that we must grasp:

1. Jesus Makes the Invisible God Visible

The first truth we encounter is that Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God. Colossians 1:15 says, "He is the image of the invisible God." Jesus is not just someone sent by God—He is God. This is foundational to the Christian faith: Jesus reveals God to us in a way we can understand and relate to. If we miss this, we miss everything.

2. Jesus Ranks Above All Creation

Another critical truth is that Jesus is not a created being. Colossians 1:16 says, “For by Him all things were created.” He is the Creator, not part of the created order. As the "firstborn" over creation, Jesus ranks above everything—no one and nothing compares to Him.

3. All Things Are Through and For Jesus

Jesus is not just the Creator; He is also the purpose of all creation. Colossians 1:16 declares that "all things were created through Him and for Him." Our existence finds its true meaning in Jesus alone. You were made to know Him, worship Him, and be fulfilled in Him. If you’re feeling incomplete, it’s because you were created for Jesus, and nothing else can fill that void.

4. Jesus is the Sustainer of All Things

Colossians 1:17 tells us, “He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” Jesus doesn’t just create; He sustains. In moments of difficulty, suffering, or confusion, remember that Jesus is the one who holds everything together. He’s not distant or weak but actively sustaining all of creation — including you.

5. Jesus is to Be First Place

In Colossians 1:18, we learn that Jesus must have first place in our lives. He is Lord of all, and our lives should reflect this. There is no middle ground with Jesus — He is either Lord of everything or nothing at all. To live for Jesus is to give Him priority in every area of our lives.

6. Jesus is the Only One Who Can Save

Finally, Colossians 1:19-20 tells us that Jesus is the only one who can save us. We are all sinners, but Jesus, through His sacrifice on the cross, made peace and offers forgiveness. There is no other Savior. Jesus is a better Savior than we are sinners.

Action Steps

So how should we respond to these truths about Jesus?

1. Know the Real Jesus: Spend time in the Word and get to know Jesus as He is revealed in Scripture.
2. Live for Jesus: Give Him the first place in your life. Make Him your priority in every decision.
3. Worship Jesus: Never give your worship to anything less than the real Jesus.
4. Share Jesus: Spread the good news of the real Jesus to those who need to hear it.

The real Jesus is better than anything the world has to offer. He is the King of Kings, the Creator, the Sustainer, and the only one worthy of our worship. Go live for Him, worship Him, and tell others about Him—because He is worth it.
