When this life of trials tests my faith I set my hope on Jesus

When the questions calm and doubts remain I set my hope on Jesus

For the deepest wounds that time won't heal There's a joy that runs still deeper

There's a truth that's more than all I feel I set my hope on Jesus

Exodus 23 verses 2 - You shall not follow the crowd in doing evil Nor shall you testify in a dispute

So as to join together with the crowd in order to pervert justice

God doesn't rule by popular vote God rules by His voice

And His voice for us is His word

So no matter how many people stand against God's word God's word remains right

So don't let pressure make you deny the lordship of the word of God

The biggest threat I've seen today is not a secular culture or a secular society

It is a compromising church

I mean churches that are compromising on solid biblical doctrines and truth

And this eventually results in raising a group of people professing to be devoted followers of Christ

But with the dangerous potential of turning away from the truth

John chapter 3 verse 16 and 17 the Bible says

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son

So that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world

But so that the world might be saved through Him

So God is not trying to take over the systems of the world

God wants men saved

So God's purpose for sending His Son to die for mankind is to save men

And so Paul admonishes in Philippians chapter 1 verse 27

That no matter what is happening around you only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ

So that whether I come and see you or remain absent

I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit with one mind

Striving together for the faith of the gospel

Friend,

the grace of God doesn't lead us to embrace sin as a culture

The intention of God is that if you are in Christ through the salvation of your soul

Then hell is in your past

But outside Christ,

hell is in your future

And anyone who is not born again will one day wish that he was not born at all

Never change the written word or the tone of it to sound accepted or popular

Have a blessed day friends!

I set my hope on Jesus

Though this heart of mine is prone to stray

Give me grace enough to finish

Until I worship on that final day

I set my hope on Jesus

I set my hope on Jesus

By rock my only trust

You set His heart upon me first

I set my hope on Jesus
