There is no neutral when it comes to your spiritual walk. It's either toward God or away from God. Your response to things in your life is a choice, not a coin toss.

Forgiveness is a command, not a suggestion. But we all know how hard it can be to forgive someone who has hurt us. Thankfully, God is in charge, not us. The proper view of God makes the forgiveness of others possible.

Worry and the pursuit of more cannot add a single moment to your life. God cares for the birds and flowers and is in control of their provisions. You are WAY more valuable than birds and flowers to God. Pursue God first and trust His provision and protection.

The power of sin is broken, but the pressure to sin is still there. What Jesus did on the cross is experienced daily through the Holy Spirit's leading in your life.

As we wrap up our summer chasing Paul through his ministry in Acts, we can see that the story isn't really about Paul. It's about the spreading of the Gospel. And the story doesn't end with Paul.

People's response to your faith in Jesus is not your responsibility. We need to speak the truth, pray specific prayers for specific people, and let God change their hearts.

Even in difficulty, Paul followed the Lord, did the right thing, and knew the Lord was with him. What would you do if you were convinced that the Lord was with you no matter what?

The message of Jesus is powerful and changes people. It's not rhetoric or storytelling. It's life-changing! Don't allow your faith to become stale. Seek fresh faith daily.
