The Power of the Gospel

Satan sometimes shames seekers when they begin to take God and His word seriously. The enemy plants seeds of doubt related to intellectual honesty and the fear of being labeled a religious fanatic. The devil wants Jesus' believers to be apologetic and embarrassed to live for the Lord, not declaring His teachings as the gospel truth. But, there is no shame in standing up for Christ and His commands. Faith reveals His fame. We are facing a challenge concerning the strength and tenacity of our faith. There is a battle raging between the truth and the lies of deceiver. The deceiver seeks for the church to "mingle" the truth with the various religious messages of our world. BUT we must resist that temptation and remain true to the message of Truth that Jesus declared. Jesus still remains "the Way, the Truth, and the Life." I am glad that I took heed to the Word of God and received Christ as my Savior. A line from an old song declares, "...Hold to God's unchanging hand..." Each of us need to live out that desire on a daily basis so that the name of Christ can be exalted and lifted above the "gods" of this world.
