Is racism our biggest problem? Are politics our biggest problem? I say no. Our biggest problem and biggest sin is that we reject and neglect God in our culture today. Jeremiah 2: 13 tells us the two sins we have committed. 

Read this verse, watch this clip, and tell me what you think - Is our biggest problem that we reject God?

When presenting the Gospel in our culture today, it is wise to remember that there are real people involved. Yes, we must always speak the truth, but speak it with compassion and respect because all people are made in the image of God. The Gospel is a light in the hot cultural topics we face today and salvation through Jesus Christ is the answer.

We leave people empty when we argue cultural issues without boldly preaching the Gospel. The cancel culture phenomenon may try to stop the truth from being told, but Christians can be bold with the truth of God's Word. God created all. God set the standard for living. 

Please pray for me and for this podcast and that I can continue to speak boldly and speak the truth.

What does it mean to walk in wisdom? As Christians, it means being led by the Holy Spirit in all that we do and say. It means seasoning our words with salt - using our words in ways that others will be willing to listen. It is being gracious toward people who don't understand what we do. Bringing the truth to people requires compassion, not beating them with our words.

It's easy to point fingers at other people - to point out what we see them doing wrong. But if we are so busy pointing out other people's faults, are we pointing people to what is truly needed - salvation through Jesus Christ? 

Let's work on submitting to God's Kingdom and not on whether we are on the Left or the Right.

URGENT prayer request! 

There are a lot of narratives in our culture. I think God has the best narrative out there. I want to engage the culture where it is.

[2:55] The verse that Proclaim Ministries is based on and the two-fold focus of Proclaim Ministries: Proclaim Ministries is based on Colossians 1:28 “Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.” We want to proclaim Jesus Christ. We want to help believers connect their faith and their life. Helping those who don’t have faith. We want to present the Gospel to everyone. 

[6:00] The two evils we have all committed. Jeremiah 2:13 - Rejecting God and the world He created.

[9:28] The URGENT prayer request in 6 parts (2 Timothy 3: 1-5; Colossians 4: 3-6): 
1. Pray that I present the Gospel clearly and unapologetically.
2. Pray that I walk in wisdom toward outsiders.
3. Pray that I would be gracious and my words seasoned with salt.
4. Pray for my opportunities.
5. Pray that I would be able to engage in these cultural topics.
6. Pray that I would speak the truth in love.

In our world, certain hand motions mean certain things. Sometimes, they mean different things in different cultures. Our verse today relates to one certain hand motion that we should probably do more often: putting our hand over our mouths.

Proverbs 30:31 says, “If you have been foolish exalting yourself, or have been devising evil, put your hand to your mouth.” This phrase is also mentioned in the book of Job when Job was talking to his friend, but basically doing this meant you needed to stop something. In this Proverb, he’s saying to stop doing two things: 1) stop exalting yourself, and 2) stop devising evil.

The first is a humility issue. Our world today is very focused on exalting ourselves. It’s all about securing high places and titles for ourselves, and saying, “Look at me, look at me.” But remember when we talked about how wisdom in the Bible says not to put yourself in the seat of honor at the table lest you be shamed by being asked to move to a lower position?

And if you’ve been devising evil? Stop that, too. Neither of these things will have good outcomes. Promoting yourself should not be our focus. The book of Philippians tells us we should be considering others better than ourselves. It’s not about us. We should only make our boast in the LORD.

However, we also have this thing called false humility. For example, if you’re a singer and someone comes up to you after a performance and says, “Great job, you have an amazing voice!” and you’re like, “Oh, it wasn’t me, it was all the LORD,” etc. Look, you can say thank you. It’s okay to accept a compliment. But on the other hand, we shouldn’t go fishing for compliments either. It’s not good for us to be prideful.

Let’s read our verse again: “If you have been foolish exalting yourself, or have been devising evil, put your hand to your mouth.” In other words, just stop it. If you’re devising evil, keep in mind that the Bible teaches that we reap what we sow. If you’re devising evil, it will come back around to you; there will be a consequence. So let’s get wisdom.

We’d love to hear from you!
