         Good morning! How are we faithing? Wow! The study of the Word never ceases to amaze me! Things that seem so real now didn't used to be. As we grow in wisdom and mature in the Word things that used to cause turmoil now don't. There are sins committed that are specifically stated in the Word along with the consequences but not necessarily from God's wrath but as a result of the mere action that we come face to face with as we steadily grow in the Lord.  Never are we to judge with a condemnation or a judgmental attitude but with a recognition of  truth.  It may or may not be our place to bring attention to another's sin but to love them regardless because we know we are forgiven for our sins and they can be too. I'm watching the left and the right bash each other and dismissing anything either has to say because the other side said it and from what the Word teaches, we're missing it and so are they.  Stop following the crowd based "sound good" or "feels right" rhetoric because unless you look into something deeper than just the rhetoric you may be running off the cliff with all the other Lemmings. Just give it some thought....

1Pe 1:24-25
  For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out, but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you.

Ecc 1:14  I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

2Ti 4:1-4
  Therefore I solemnly witness before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who is going to judge the living and the dead according to His appearance and His kingdom,  preach the Word, be instant in season and out of season, reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine.  For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but they will heap up teachers to themselves according to their own lusts, tickling the ear.  And they will turn away their ears from the truth and will be turned to myths.

Heavenly Father,
   Thank you for your Word that teaches us truth. Lord we want to know you more. We want to serve honorably. Lord we do lift up our leaders to you even when we disagree. Guide their steps .  Lord, thank you for the cross, in Jesus name, amen
