We need to keep representing and sharing the truth without compromising it, regardless of people who don’t get it or oppose us for upholding it.

We need to appreciate and celebrate the greatness of the God-breathed New Testament gospel and its power to transform and shape our lives.

It is an honor and a solemn stewardship to represent Christ in our world—a task that brings profound satisfaction when done faithfully, even though it will not always be well-received.

We need to be ready for the challenges, sacrifices, and emotional discomfort that come with truly loving other Christians the way God calls us to.

Nothing could be more urgent and important than responding to the resurrected Christ, who offers himself as our ultimate solution to every threat, challenge, and problem we face in this life and the next.

Good Friday 2025

We must be prepared for the challenges of the testing that will be sure to come in the Christian life, passing these tests without falling to the schemes of our spiritual enemy.

We should seek to find true joy in repentance – our own and others’ – as we celebrate grace and purpose to genuinely love other forgiven brothers and sisters.

To keep a clear conscience before both God and people, we must serve them with love and sympathy as God defines, not as we or they might prefer.

If we are to navigate the variabilities of this present life with confidence and a godly attitude then we must trust in the immutability of God and his good overarching plan.
