Let’s get right into the Damar Hamlin...

*SIGH* I used to love watching Danny in his movies.

The Devito’s are working together on this ‘project’ and that puts a sour taste in my mouth to think about watching him again.Little Demon explores what happens when Satan’s daughter, Chrissy (Lucy Devito) – the antichrist – hits puberty.

Her mother, Laura (Aubrey Plaza), just wants the pair to live everyday life in Delaware. But Satan (Danny Devito) wants his daughter’s soul.I couldn’t get to the remote fast enough to shield my 11-year-old from the preview, and I wonder how many other children were exposed to it—and how many millions more will tune in to the new series, owned and marketed by DISNEY.

Congressman Mike Johnson of LouisianaThe trailer includes dark images of Hell, demons, and satanic imagery, and an explanation that the main character is… the Antichrist(!).Disney provides this surreal description: “Thirteen years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware, but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul.”

“During an interview, no joke, they (Aubrey Plaza) said they are enjoying normalizing paganism,” Jess said, referencing a San Diego Comic-Con appearance by Aubrey Plaza. “Even if you’re not a Christian, I hope you can tell how wrong this is on so many levels.”

Jess was troubled by this. “If we’re going to normalize this, can we normalize the fact that demons are real and Christians have the power and authority to cast them out? This isn’t some cutesy little show where they’re just like, ‘Ooh, magic!’ Like, this is pretty blatant,” she said.Another online review explains that Chrissy discovers she’s the Antichrist “in grisly fashion, quickly reducing a gaggle of school bullies into piles of red goo in what turns out to be the first of many spectacularly gory sequences. Chrissy doesn’t seem overly concerned by the whole triple-murder thing, shrugging it off with an easy-breezy attitude that sets the tone for the rest of ‘Little Demon.’”

“Most of the show’s best moments come when it leans into its hellish premise and plumbs the depths of its own depravity. It’s likely you’ve never seen a man punch a hole in his own face before or heard the words, ‘Let’s go boil some babies while their heads are still soft’ in quite that order and, after two decades of South Park, Family Guy, and other cartoon shock merchants, an animated series finding new ways to disgust is a genuine achievement.”WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?

I could write volumes this morning, and unpack pages of Bible verses here, but instead I’m just going to state the obvious: Please be careful. Our job as parents is to guard the hearts and minds of our kids. This culture has become alarmingly dark and desensitized and this is not a game. Disney and FX have decided to embrace and market what is clearly evil. STAY FAR FROM IT.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.1 Peter 5:8Note: Little Demon, although animated, has received a TV-MA rating and is intended for adult audiences.

Join us in a study on how to Refresh by David Villa

** Rapper Tom MacDonald Hits #1 on Billboard with a Pop Song ; Ghost **

Just as a cold glass of water after finishing summer yard work refreshes and revitalizes us, manna provides us with the strength to keep going.

This provides us with what we often refer to as a fresh wind.

Many people know about the 80/20 principle; 80% of the value of your work comes from 20% of your time and effort. Sometimes it’s 70/30 or 90/10, but the general point is that a majority of your results come from a small minority of your time.

Fewer people understand that 80/20 is iterative. The 20% breaks down into its own 80/20, and so on. The first iteration would predict that 4% of your time yields 64% of the results.
The challenge is to figure out where to use your time!

What is that 4%? Much leadership work is with people. Which people should you spend time with and why? How much energy should you allocate for strategic study and preparation?

You could go to 50 respected leaders and get 20 different answers. There’s no clear formula.
Christian leaders, however, are fortunate enough to have direction from the Holy Spirit. In this age of expanding choices and amplified noise, we need direction to make the highest value choices for our time, attention, and energy.

Make time today to listen for divine direction.

Get the big picture. You might find it helpful to step back and see how your role and current journey fits into the bigger picture of God’s plan.

Reset your expectations.

Set realistic timelines, and let God do what only He can do.

Don’t let the fresh wind escape your sails. Instead, utilize it to guide you, the vessel, towards a brighter future.

Remember, when God is on your side, who or what could possibly form against you?

Just as refreshing a fire requires the feeding of kindling to the flames, we too must feed ourselves in order to refresh and revitalize our minds, bodies, and spirits.

This requires fresh manna—fresh provision, new thoughts, new ideas, new business, and this can be found only within the Word of God.

Manna is daily.

God provided manna for the children of Israel during the forty years that they wandered in the wilderness. It appeared each morning alongside the morning dew, where the Israelites would gather it, and the manna nourished them for the day. Those who tried to hoard the manna for the next day woke up to a putrid, worm-infested mess, with exceptions to the sixth day, in which the Israelites gathered enough manna to last through the Sabbath. God provided manna to meet their physical needs but also to remind them that they needed more than bread for life.

They needed God.

Psalm 23 promises that because the Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need. Just as Israel counted on the daily manna in order to survive and push on during their journey, God wants me to depend on Him daily.

His provisions show up when I need them and not before. When I try to secure today what I think I’ll need tomorrow, it doesn’t work. It doesn’t work because God wants me to trust Him each day for that day’s need. I was created to rely on Him.

Manna can be unusual. The word itself loosely translates to “what is it?”I’m not sure what the Hebrews expected when Moses told them that they would see God’s glory in the morning, but they didn’t expect what they found.

Sometimes we don’t recognize God’s provisions either. It doesn’t look like what we expected.

But it is always there, if we’re willing to look for it.

And it is always enough.

Once we have refreshed our vision for the road ahead, we must also rekindle or refresh our fire.

To refresh your fire is to strengthen what remains to ensure that your foundation remains sturdy and will be able to sustain you for the long haul.

Through the process of tempering, steel and other metals are put into intense heat where they are purified and strengthened. As the heat is applied, the impurities come to the surface and are removed leaving a pure metal. Interestingly, the hardness of the metal is reduced through the fire; however, its flexibility under pressure, or ductility, is increased. This causes the overall strength and versatility to rise.

It will bend in the face of adversity, but it will not break.

There are times in our lives when we go through fires and pressures that are anything but comfortable. Whether it is a physical ailment, financial hardship, relational challenge, or spiritual dryness, these times test the very core of our personhood. The fire brings the impurities to the surface, but each of us must choose to remove them from our life. The fire breaks down our own hardness, but there is strength in learning to be flexible. Although these “fires” are not desirable, when we submit our life to the will of the Holy Spirit, they begin to expose the impurities in our life, reduce our “hardness,” and give us strength and flexibility for the purpose that God has for our life.

We too will bend in the face of adversity, but we will not break.

Maybe your fire has been stoked or smothered. Maybe your coals are still red hot, or maybe they are starting to cool down. Wherever you are in your journey, it isn’t too late to add kindling, and revitalize the fire inside of you.

Don’t give up.

Instead, strengthen what remains, and watch your fire grow.

Just as we previously discussed, starting fresh doesn’t mean that you have to rid yourself of everything. It doesn’t mean that every aspect of your life is unusable.Sometimes refreshing starts with simply having a refreshed perspective on the world around you.Maybe you just need a fresh vision!A fresh vision can provide:

1. Clarity
2. Planning
3. Blueprints
4. Future Success
5. Wisdom

Too often we find ourselves stuck in a rut. We walk to one end searching for a way out only to find that we must turn around. We don’t have the vision of how we could climb out of this rut. We don’t have the vision needed to understand why we got stuck in the rut in the first place!Without a change, we are bound to repeat the process.It’s time to climb out of the rut that we’re in, and this starts with refreshing our vision and refocusing it on God.A rut can be representative of a repetitive lifestyle that doesn’t offer us a challenge, so it doesn’t interest us anymore. We become complacent. Usually this is a sign that it’s time to grow and expand your vision. If you are in a rut, it may be a sign that you are ready for a bigger challenge! That challenge could come from expanding or deepening your vision.Wipe off the windshield so that you can see where you were heading and why you were heading there.As you go through the journey that you’re currently on, it’s important to clear your vision of distraction, obstacles, and objections. We must be strategic with what we’re placing in our hearts and in our minds.And, once we’ve refreshed our minds and cleared our vision, then we will be better prepared for the rest of our journey.And, finally, we can climb out of our rut.I will take my stand at my watchpost and station myself on the tower, and look out to see what he will say to me, and what I will answer concerning my complaint. And the Lord answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.Habakkuk 2:1‭-‬3

Refresh – To give new strength or energy to; reinvigorate.

When was the last time that you started fresh, or felt the need to refresh yourself?We hear this concept a lot.

“It’s time to wipe the slate clean.”

“It’s time to start fresh.”

“Time to start over.”

Time for new beginnings, which sometimes means the closing of doors and opening of others.Having to refresh can be viewed as a positive or a negative, depending on the circumstances that lead to the fresh start. A fresh start can be indicative of a new home, a failed business, going back to school, dropping out of college, going broke, or becoming wealthy. It’s all a fresh start, but as people, we don’t always view fresh starts as inherently good.

Why?

Because starting fresh often means starting with nothing. It means changing and transforming into something new, and new can be scary sometimes.

But just because we’re starting fresh doesn’t mean that we have to give up everything. In fact, it is better to build a new home upon a solid foundation than it is to build on shaky grounds. The truth is that you and I can gain a fresh start without throwing everything away. In fact, often God utilizes our greatest strengths while we work on overcoming our weaknesses.

He did it with David.

He did it with Moses.

He did it with Paul.

He gave them the opportunity for a fresh start, but He did not strip them entirely of who they were. Their lives changed drastically, but they were still true to themselves. He knew the plans that He had for them would change their lives forever, and although I’m sure they were nervous, they chose the fresh start that God had laid before them. They chose to refresh, and they did great things as a result.

Sometimes God gives us opportunities to restart. Don’t be afraid to take advantage of it.

It could be the restart that leads to a happier, better you.

Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.Isaiah 43:18‭-‬19
