Leadership in Context

God is not against you having things; He is against things having you. There are over 2,500 Scriptures that speak about money. Together, they reveal five clear truths: God wants us to prosper and is able to help us prosper. God wants us to enjoy Him and enjoy His blessings. God is generous, and He wants us to be generous. God does not want us living in debt or bondage. God wants us to work hard and invest.

Your cash and your calendar reveal what you truly value. Everyone is equally rich in time—24 hours a day, seven days a week—but how you assign those days determines your priorities. Accountability sharpens how we live, and your calendar is your greatest tool, because you will never get that day back. This isn’t about living in a hurry; it’s about living with intention.

Scripture says that our life is like a vapor. How we think about time should be biblical. The enemy wants to distort our view of time. Everyone assumes they have tomorrow, but we aren’t guaranteed that. We plan like we have tomorrow, yet we should live like we do not.

Men and women are different, and as believers, we need to embrace that truth. We can affirm it with our words, but when we live as though there is no distinction—treating women as the same as men and men as the same as women—we undermine our confession. Gender confusion is affecting the church just as much as it is the world.

Why did Paul instruct women in 1 Corinthians to cover their heads? Keith dives into this discussion today, explaining how, culturally, uncovered heads were a distraction and why Paul gave instructions for women to cover them. These kinds of conversations push us to dig into Scripture and sharpen our understanding as believers.

"Israel does not have a blank check according to the judgement of God."--Keith Tucci. All people, including Jews, are saved only by the cross of Christ. While we do share a deep theological connection, that does not mean we must agree with or support everything Israel does. Like any nation, Israel has the right to defend its borders and pursue those who seek to destroy it. Even more significantly, that land is the cradle of Christianity—it is where God chose to enter the world in human flesh.

Do not be arrogant...Cancel culture is when we throw out the baby with the bathwater. We fail to separate the good from the bad—without justifying any of the bad. And the truth is, we wouldn’t exist without our Jewish heritage.

We need to celebrate our inheritance. If you are born again, no matter what tribe you come from, you are a descendant of Abraham and an heir according to the promise. There is no separate gospel. There is no separate process.

For God to honor a natural heritage, He would have to diminish the sacrifice of Christ. There are not two plans for two groups of people. There is no distinction in our sinful condition. There is no distinction at the cross of Christ. And there is no distinction in our inheritance. We are one bride, one body, with one salvation and one purpose.

The Church is the bride of Christ and Christ does not have a girlfriend that He will leave the bride for.

Israel as a nation is not exempt from God’s judgment. There is no separate plan of salvation in which God accepts Jews who do not believe in Christ. God has not rejected Israel, but He shows no partiality. Christ came to build one house, not two. Salvation ultimately comes down to belief or unbelief.
