Think About It
“Records come and go but the glory of God is eternal. I no longer run for self-recognition but to reflect His perfect will that is already set in stone. I don’t deserve anything, but by grace through faith Jesus has given me everything.” (After winning the gold in this year’s Olympics and breaking the world record in the women’s breaststroke.)- Tatjana Schoenmaker
The measure of faithful Christian witness is not media approval, but conformity to biblical truth and effectiveness in gospel proclamation.
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs has much to say about a father (parent) giving instruction to his son (children). It is their primary responsibility to instill in them not only faith in God but obedience to God’s word.
“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding
at things in life that don’t really matter.” -Francis Chan
The nations surrounding Israel at that time often worshiped and deified parts of the created world. For example, many worshiped the sun, stars, moon, animals, and man. Sounds silly, but today many believe in a pantheistic worldview that says everything is God and God is everything.
