If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus was coming back tomorrow, what would you do?
If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was coming back in a thousand years, what would you do?
If your answers are different, you're doing it wrong.

Psalm 1:1-6
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

A Christianity tolerant of other religions is just no Christianity at all.

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent.

Galatians 2:15-21
We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Pray for Dr. Steven Lawson—that he would repent, be healed and set free from his sin of adultery. What a shame.
Sin is not a passive adversary; it is relentlessly active, constantly seeking to ensnare you. It operates without pause, always plotting, always whispering temptations, striving to lead you astray from the path of righteousness.
Recognize this reality: sin's persistence demands your vigilance. You must remain ever-watchful, for sin will not relent. Yet, take heart, for in this battle, you are not alone. Christ himself is your shield and strength, providing the means to resist and overcome.
