Loving the world destroys our relationship with God, it denies our faith in God, and it discounts our future with God.

As you read the Word of God today, read it with expectancy and anticipation for the changes it will make in you.

When culture changes around us, God's standard of living does not. Even when we're engulfed by evil, the eyes of the Lord range to and fro throughout all the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.

If you were to write your life motto, what would it say? Look out for number one? Or look out for the needs of others?

Perhaps the image you have of the devil is a cartoon of a man in a red suit with horns a pointy tale and a pitch fork, Satan would love for you to think of him as a harmless cartoon character, but don't be fooled... Satan is anything but harmless.

God has stepped in at the last minute more than once in history (remember Moses at the Red Sea?). And He can do the same for you. Keep turning the pages by faith and let the story play out to the end.

There's only one thing to do with God's offer of the gift of salvation: Say "thank you" and embrace it.
