THOUGHTS WHILE DRIVING

Oftentimes TV is pointless but every once in awhile there's a lesson we can learn. Recently I learned a lesson from an episode of The Middle about perseverance and hope. Life can be bumpy but how we respond to these bumps makes the difference.

In this episode I share my thoughts from Numbers 21. This is a classic example of the foolish, stubborn, stupidity that people are prone to. We teach obedience or mistrust to those who are watching us.

*Correction -Although the incident I talk about happens at the end of the 40 years it's really the final gasping rebellion of the Exodus generation more than the newer generation.*

In this episode I share my thoughts regarding the good that God is bringing about in the lives of believers.

In Philippians 3:20 the Apostle Paul tells the Phillipian believers to remember their citizenship is rooted in heaven where Christ is and where He will return from. These truths are to motivate and encourage a certain way of life. Being a citizen of a country has various responsibilities and benefits. Being a Christian means having dual citizenship, where the heavenly/ eternal citizenship ought to make us the types of citizens that strengthen and impact our nations to the good of our neighbors and the glory of God.
