Salvation Is Not Dependent on Feelings
Once a man told D. L. Moody that he was worried because he did not feel saved. Moody asked, “Was Noah safe in the ark?”
“Certainly he was,” the man replied.
“Well, what made him safe—his feeling or the ark?”
“How foolish I’ve been!” the man said. “It is not my feeling; it is Christ who saves!”
1 John 5:13
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

The Witnessing Hitchhiker
Roger Simms, hitchhiking his way home, would never forget the date May 7. His heavy suitcase made Roger tired. He was anxious to take off his army uniform once and for all. Flashing the hitchhiking sign to the oncoming car, he lost hope when he saw it was a black, sleek, new Cadillac. To his surprise the car stopped. The passenger door opened. He ran toward the car, tossed his suitcase in the back, and thanked the handsome, well-dressed man as he slid into the front seat. "Going home for keeps?" "Sure am," Roger responded. "Well, you're in luck if you're going to Chicago." "Not quite that far. Do you live in Chicago?" "I have a business there. My name is Hanover."
After talking about many things, Roger, a Christian, felt a compulsion to witness to this fifty-ish, apparently successful businessman about Christ. But he kept putting it off, till he realized he was just thirty minutes from his home.
It was now or never. So, Roger cleared his throat, "Mr. Hanover, I would like to talk to you about something very important." He then proceeded to explain the way of salvation, ultimately asking Mr. Hanover if he would like to receive Christ as his Savior. To Roger's astonishment the Cadillac pulled over to the side of the road. Roger thought he was going to be ejected from the car. But the businessman bowed his head and received Christ, then thanked Roger. "This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me."
Five years went by, Roger married, had a two-year-old boy, and a business of his own. Packing his suitcase for a business trip to Chicago, he found the small, white business card Hanover had given him five years before.
In Chicago he looked up Hanover Enterprises. A receptionist told him it was impossible to see Mr. Hanover, but he could see Mrs. Hanover. A little confused as to what was going on, he was ushered into a lovely office and found himself facing a keen-eyed woman in her fifties. She extended her hand. "You knew my husband?"
Roger told how her husband had given him a ride when hitchhiking home after the war. "Can you tell me when that was?" "It was May 7, five years ago, the day I was discharged from the army." "Anything special about that day?" Roger hesitated. Should he mention giving his witness? Since he had come so far, he might as well take the plunge. "Mrs. Hanover, I explained the gospel. He pulled over to the side of the road and wept against the steering wheel. He gave his life to Christ that day."
Explosive sobs shook her body. Getting a grip on herself, she sobbed, "I had prayed for my husband's salvation for years. I believed God would save him." "And," said Roger, "Where is your husband, Mrs. Hanover?" "He's dead," she wept, struggling with words. "He was in a car crash after he let you out of the car. He never got home.
You see I thought God had not kept His promise." Sobbing uncontrollably, she added, "I stopped living for God five years ago because I thought He had not kept His word!"
Beloved, that young soldier shared the Gospel and Mr. Hanover is in Heaven today. This story emphasizes how critical it is to share the Gospel always, as the hearers may have only hours or minutes to live.
God bless you and make you a blessing.

“Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.”

1 Timothy 6, Paul addresses God’s people about living with honor and integrity in every station of life, urging them to reflect well on God’s name and teaching through respectful conduct. He warns strongly against those who twist truth for personal gain, explaining that genuine devotion is found in contentment, not in the pursuit of wealth. The love of money is presented as a root that leads many into spiritual ruin, while God’s people are called to pursue righteousness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness instead. Timothy is charged to guard what has been entrusted to him, to fight the good fight of faith, and to hold firmly to eternal life, keeping himself unstained by worldly corruption as he awaits the appearing of Christ.

2 Timothy 1
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

17 But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

Forwarded from Handfuls On Purpose❤️ *See Ruth chapter 2 (Scott Metcalf)
There is a moment tucked away in 2 Kings 13:20–21 that feels almost too quiet for how explosive it is. Elisha, the prophet of God, has died. Israel buries him. The story should end there. But instead, Scripture tells us that during a raid, a dead man is hastily thrown into Elisha’s tomb. The moment the body touches the prophet’s bones, the man comes back to life and stands on his feet. No prayer. No ceremony. No striving. Just contact. Life flows from a place marked by death.
This is not a random miracle. It is a revelation. God is preaching the gospel centuries before the cross. The message is simple and stunning. Death cannot survive in the presence of resurrection life. Even in the Old Covenant, even through the bones of a fallen prophet, God shows us that His life is stronger than the grave. What was lifeless does not stay lifeless when it comes into contact with what God has touched.
Now pause and consider what this means for us in light of Jesus. If life flowed from the bones of Elisha, how much more from the risen Christ. Elisha stayed in the grave. Jesus walked out of it. Elisha’s bones carried residual power. Jesus carries eternal life itself. Scripture tells us that Jesus was raised by the glory of the Father and that the same Spirit who raised Him from the dead now dwells in us. The resurrection is not just something we believe in. It is something we are connected to.
Many believers live as if resurrection power is fragile. As if fear, worry, anxiety, or doubt can cancel what Christ accomplished. But this story reminds us that death did not overpower life. Life overpowered death. The man in the tomb did not try to come back to life. He did not fight his way out. He simply came into contact with resurrection power and life did what life always does. It revived. It restored. It stood him back up.
This is how grace works in your life today. You do not resurrect yourself. You do not reason your way out of fear. You do not discipline your way into peace. You come into contact with Jesus. You rest in what He has already done. Fear loses its grip not because you are strong, but because He is alive. Worry loosens when you remember that the cross settled your future and the resurrection secured it.
The Father is for you because of Jesus and the cross. Not because you are doing well. Not because you have perfect faith. Not because you are fearless. Scripture tells us that God did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all. That is the proof. If God went that far for you while you were still dead in sin, He is not against you now that you are alive in Christ. The cross settled God’s posture toward you forever.
Here is how this applies practically. When fear rises, you do not argue with it. You return to the truth that you are joined to a risen Savior. When worry shows up, you remind your heart that resurrection power lives in you, not condemnation. When doubt whispers that things will never change, you remember that the grave was not the end for Jesus, and it is not the end of your story either.
Today, let the Father grace you down with His love. You are not carrying your faith alone. You are carried by Christ. You are not trying to survive. You are connected to life itself. Resurrection is not waiting for heaven. It is already at work in you. Death could not remain in the tomb then, and fear does not get to rule your heart now.

Today, let the Father grace you down with His love. You are not carrying your faith alone. You are carried by Christ. You are not trying to survive. You are connected to life itself. Resurrection is not waiting for heaven. It is already at work in you. Death could not remain in the tomb then, and fear does not get to rule your heart now.
