Are Christians out of step with what’s going on in the world? Or do we view things from a different perspective? We know that what’s happening now is temporary and that God can and will use it for eternal good. How do we respond to what’s going on in the world with love, truth AND grace?
C.S. Lewis said, “You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.” When the big issues of life hit – we go back to church FIRST, we get on our knees FIRST. Connecting to Christ, remembering who we belong to – that’s our source of power, joy, identity and peace. We will never be able to solve the problems of our sinful world, but God can. God’s people must turn to HIM!
Scripture mentioned in this episode:
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”
Galatians 4:4-7
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Psalm 31:15
My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
C.S. Lewis Quote:
You can’t get second things by putting them first. You get second things only by putting first things first.
