It is critical for us as Christians to submit to the authority figures in our lives. Pastor JD points out in today's message that these authority figures have been placed in our lives by God. It would be dishonoring and disobedient to Him if we chose to dishonor our authority figures. How can we honor those in authority today?

Since the signing of the UN agreement with Iran, allowing them to move forward with their “so called nuclear energy” plan, Iran has launched four long range missile tests! This is something that SHOULD be making the evening news. And yet, you've likely not heard anything about it. We're being duped into thinking that the transgender rights are a more news worthy issue than the safety of our country and the nation of Israel.

At the time Pastor JD shared this prophecy update yet another horrific murder of law enforcement officers occurred in our country. Three innocent officers in Baton Rouge were ruthlessly gunned down. Today Pastor JD will share with us that this is another sign of the last days. He encourages us to be praying for all law enforcement officers across the country.

Do you find the topic of submission and authority challenging? In today's message, Pastor JD explains that we are called as Christians to submit to Christ. The only way to do this is to die to self. We must lay down our selfish thoughts and desires and yield to His will for our lives. What steps can you take today to die to self?

Have you noticed that people in today's society have little respect for authority? In today's message, Pastor JD teaches about why submission to authority is so important. We are to submit because, ultimately, Jesus submitted to God and the cross. May we live our lives in submission and respect to His authority!

How are we representing Christ to the world? They are watching. As Pastor Farag asks us in today’s message, if our behaviors, attitudes and activities look the same as the world, what will set us apart in their eyes? Our witness will be much more fruitful if we are living in a way that glorifies God and shows His love to those around us.

Paul says that everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. In today’s message, Pastor JD gives us some practical advice on how to live this out in our lives. Even if we are free to do something, we need to ask ourselves whether it will cause another person to stumble, because nothing is worth that.

Yet another sign of the times is the recent court ruling for churches in the state of Iowa. Some of the churches in that state will now have to comply with the newly imposed transgender laws by providing bathrooms... IN THEIR CHURCHES...for people of the transgender persuasion. As Pastor JD will share, and we should echo, we will NOT submit to such a law!

The horrific shootings in Dallas of police officers is yet another terrible event that points to the soon return of Jesus Christ. Today Pastor JD recognizes these brave officers of the law and also the officers that attend Calvary Chapel Kaneohe. Truly, these are the very last days we are living in. We need to be looking for the soon return of Jesus Christ.

Have you been trying to live in fellowship with the Holy Spirit while still following the desires of your sinful nature? As Pastor JD teaches us in today’s message, this simply isn’t possible. It either has to be one or the other. God loves you with a jealous love and desires the intimacy of your full attention and focus.
