(1 Peter 5:8-9)…This world is a broken place, and things seem to get worse every day. The big question is where are all the Christians among this deterioration of society. Unfortunately they are both falling into it and hiding from it. Christians today are afraid to stand up against the downfall of the world around them. They think they ought to hide and just hang out in there churches. They think that people should be flocking to them at the church. That is totally wrong, it’s a lie that Satan is feeding. If the world is to be transformed then we need to be going out into the world to change it.

(John 18:12-27)…In my devotions this morning I was post with this question; “have we ever denied Christ before others by the way we live?”. The context of this question is connected to Peter’s denial of Christ. As followers of Christ I think we can easily say; “well I’d never do that!”; but that question got me really looking at my own life. I don’t think I can honestly say that I have lived my life so far and never acted in a way that really denies Christ. Even as outrageous as it might seem, I’m reminded of Survivor: Fiji and the season finally where Boo confronts Dreamz about his dishonesty to Yau Man and being a Christian. I don’t know how much truth there is in Boo and Dreamz being Christians, however, if Dreamz was claiming Christ than Boo hit the nose on the head.

(Galatians 3:1-25)…It amazes me how even today churches fail in the same areas as the early churches. Paul was always bringing to light the missteps of those early churches. Here the church in Galatia was trying teach that people had to follow the Law if they were to be believers in Christ. Paul explained that if you try to live by the Law then you will be condemned. The Law was given prior to Christ’s coming, and even Christ preached that we have all fallen short of the Law. Christ came to save us from the Law. Actually, the Law points us to our need for salvation, our need for Christ’s sacrifice. If there was no Law it would be harder to see our need for salvation.

(1 Kings 2:1-12) As David was dying he left some standing orders for his son Solomon. What he desired for his son was that he would live a life according to God’s will. He was calling his son to live a life of integrity and character. God gave David a promise that if he and his descendants followed Him that they would continue to stay on the thrown.
