John Chapter 14

Amidst all the panic over the corona outbreak, we as Christians need to have a balanced biblical response. While we recognize the concern and exercise precaution, we cannot be given over to panic or fear because we have an unchanging hope in Christ, His finished work, and our standing with God. It is in this time that we need to love our neighbors, show great care for others, and offer the only hope for all people, which is the gospel.

John 13:12-16, 15:18-20

Scripture teaches, conscience testifies, and science confirms that pre-born life is human life. In every case, abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human being. This is the battle that this generation has been called to, and we must bring forth the light of the gospel into this dark wickedness to expose it, and call for repentance.

Jesus never tells us simply what we want to hear, but He plainly teaches the difficult realities of the Christian life. As His people, we are called to be willing to die to ourselves and our sin, humbling ourselves, and loyally following Christ, wherever He leads. However, we are promised the fruits of following Him, His righteousness shone in us, and even sharing His inheritance of the nations.

To the unregenerate, the idea of free grace is terrifying because it takes control completely out of our hands. Christ’s demand is for our whole being, and that kills the autonomy we want in our rebellion. But true faith is based only on the free grace of God in Christ, and if He isn’t everything to us, then He is nothing.
