Don't Skip Good Friday

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. — GALATIANS 2:20

LIVE HUMBLY

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or deceit, but in humility consider others more significant than yourselves. Let each one look not only to his own interests, but to the interests of others. – PHILIPPIANS 2:3-4

Consider that we live in a time where Instagram influencers or YouTubers (most with no technical skill, academic knowledge, or talent) have reached celebrity status and have accumulated significant wealth through their various platforms. And many of their followers aspire to be like them. And why not?

Why Repent?

Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you. I will make known to you my teachings. – PROVERBS 1:23

Not many of us like to hear the word repent, because it tends to have negative connotations. But here in Proverbs, when the voice of wisdom cries out that everyone should “repent” at her rebuke, it’s for the sake of offering them a great gift.
