21 things that are still true in 2021

1. God is still God. He is still on His throne, unshaken by what happens. Nothing takes Him by surprise and nothing is out of His control.

2. Right and wrong aren't subjective.

3. No matter how dark it is, the darkness can never drive away the light. In fact, a tiny flame can more easily be seen when it is shining in the dark than in the light of day.

4. God still uses refining fires. It's the hard times that expose and burn off all the things we need to get rid of so we can better reflect God.

5. Lies don't have to be silenced because they will always be exposed. What people fight to silence is the inconvenient truth.

6. Eventually, God's patience ends. He is love and bears with us longer than we deserve, but there always comes a time of judgment.

7. "Praise the name of God forever and ever, for all wisdom and power belong to Him. He sets in motion the times and the ages; He deposes kings and installs others; He gives wisdom to the wise and grants knowledge to those with understanding. He reveals deep truths and hidden secrets; He knows what lies veiled in the darkness; pure light radiates from within Him." (Daniel 2:20-22)

8. Yelling louder than the other person doesn't mean you win the argument.

9. I know my God is able to deliver me, but even if He doesn't I still will not bow.

10. The wisdom of man is foolishness before God.

11. Truth isn't decided by popular vote.

12. Even when my faith falters, He doesn't.

13. Our purpose on earth hasn't changed. We are to serve God, not man.

14. "Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him." (Proverbs 26:4)

15. "Answer a fool according to his folly, or he will be wise in his own eyes." (Proverbs 26:5)

16. Following Christ is simple, but it is seldom easy.

17. Though we can't always see how, God is always at work.

18. Freedom is the ability to say no.

19. God will always save His remnant.

20. Even when it isn't popular, our job is to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.

21. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

    The Warren & the World sent me an email with a link to this page. Mandy, I appreciate the time that you put into posting these reminders. It is wonderful to focus on the truth in a time when lies shout so loudly. Your list is especially timely for me as I have been recently reflecting on I Peter and his message of hope to believers who were facing difficult days.

Know your worth

Love yourself Live your truth Follow your heart Do what's right for you Get what you deserve Believe in yourself  The world is all about telling us how we should view ourselves. What we think and feel is valued above all else--don't let anybody else tell you what you should do, just live your best life right now. And while you're living that best life, remember that you should be given the best at all times--after all, you're worth it. But what are we really worth? If you look at the chemical basis, here's approximately what we've got: 65% oxygen 18.5% carbon 9.5% hydrogen 2.6% nitrogen 1.3% calcium 0.6% phosphorous 0.2% potassium 0.2% sulfur 0.2% sodium 0.2% chlorine 0.1% magnesium There are more elements at even lower amounts, but altogether? Estimates vary, but going off of the prices of chemical elements listed on wikipedia, you're looking at around $30. Obviously, we're more than the sum of our parts, though. Right? So what does the bible say abou...

what's next?

My husband and I were talking to our kids the other day about how important it is for them to learn to stand for their beliefs and live the life God has called them to now, while it is easy. We were talking about how one day in the future, they will most likely be forced to either cave to the world or stand for God, and in that moment the decision will mean a whole lot more than just social standing. Right now, Christians in the United States have been given a reprieve. The election of Trump was honestly not something I expected. I've written for quite a few years now about the decline of our nation, and I know I'm not the first--or only--one to point out the downward spiral of morality that we've been seeing for decades. As a nation founded by men who claimed the protection of God, I truly believe we chose to be held to the standards of the covenants we entered. God keeps His side of His promises--the good and the bad. That means that broken covenants have consequences. Wh...

Psalm 19

                    "The celestial realms announce God’s glory;      the skies testify of His hands’ great work. Each day pours out more of their sayings;      each night, more to hear and more to learn. Inaudible words are their manner of speech,      and silence, their means to convey. Yet from here to the ends of the earth, their voices have gone out;      the whole world can hear what they say." (Psalm 19:1-4, VOICE)
