Ever read the book of Zephaniah? It’s only three chapters and provides great insight into who God is. God’s promise of destruction is counteracted with his promise of hope and salvation. Why would God destroy everything? Doesn’t that make God evil?

As one who has the power to make everything right again, God will bring justice to the world. That means that everyone who has done a bad thing is subject to that judgement.

The promise of Jesus is a redemption from those mistakes of the past. Mercy for those who ask for it, and follow in his ways. The hope that is in the Christian extends past this life to life everlasting.

Jesus’s description of integrity among all followers of His is evident in all our walks of life. Every job will question and test your integrity. Take no more than required. Have balanced scales and honest dealings. These are central to the Bible’s message.

Our politicians are no different. Are our leaders people of integrity? Are we only voting for policies and not people. Something to think about.

Ecclesiastes is a book of joy. The tone may not be entirely happy, but the wisdom from the book identifies things in this life that are designed to bring joy.

Are you seeking joy? Love? Fulfillment? Nostalgia? Wealth? What brings you joy may not ultimately be fulfilled. Is this joy vain? Seek the things above, where treasures can be stored that cannot be stolen.

The overwhelming sensation we feel to be like others causes us to do things we don’t want to do. When that becomes our identity, crisis inevitably follows.

A lesson can be taken from King Saul of Israel. His decision to disobey God’s command lost him the kingdom. His excuse was he feared the people. His sin was not justified, and the consequence of his sin plagued him the rest of his life.

Saul of Tarsus, whom we know as the apostle Paul, was also subject to peer pressure. However, being unmoved by its influence, continued to strive for the gospel of liberty of Jesus Christ. Galatians 2 explains that there was strong influence to enforce the law on converted Christians. This was such a strong influence, Peter and Barbabus was swept away with it.

Peer pressure is something we all feel, for good or ill. However, our stand for the gospel of Christ need be bolstered by the one who restores all to Himself in love.

The Artemis II is returning from their trip to the moon, and some amazing perspectives are evident in our discussion.

Shout out to pilot Victor Glover who spoke the good confession of our need for Jesus. Before their trip around the moon, his message of the Christ who spoke love for God, and love for one another. Let us do to others as we would have them do to us.

Space flight fills the imagination with wonder and amazing perspectives. From space, the Earth is the bastion of life in a void of darkness and death. The good Earth is our gift from the creator God for our journey through life.

Morality without Jesus is a primary topic of discussion among those thinking about Christ. Good things that people do make the world a better place. But is doing enough good enough to get you into heaven? We can look at this question by dividing it into Biblical concepts.

Who is good? What is good? Is there something you can do on your own merit to purchase your eternal life? Can you buy it? The Bible is clear heaven cannot be earned. It is a gift of grace from God through Jesus Christ.

Heaven in the Bible is presented as an eternal relationship with Jesus. Eternal life is knowing God and Jesus Christ. Why would you want to be with Jesus if you don’t believe in Him? Why would you want a reward from someone you don’t believe in?

Are you thinking about your existence after this life as a transaction? Are you storing treasures in heaven by building your relationship with Jesus?

Minister at the University Church of Christ in Tampa, Florida, Josh is a guest for our weekend Young Adult weekend at Milwaukee Ave church. The power of the gospel and its ability to change your life for the better is inspirational. Being a Christian isn’t about having all the answers. It means you can’t continue or make it without help from God. Life with God is better than life without God.

The family of God being a reflection of unity despite untold differences. If you are seeking something better than what you have, look toward changing your life to be like Jesus. Are you willing to entertain the thought there is someone who knows you so well, your deepest darkest secrets, yet still wants to be in a loving relationship with you. Jesus says, “I will not forsake you.” He is not far from you now. The choice for a better life is yours.

There are those who receive persecution, trials and hardships for their beliefs. Some even are subject to pain, physical attacks, imprisonment and death. Perhaps you were subject to a culture of preparation for these inevitable events. Were they destructive to your psyche in your upbringing? Do you associate faith with that trauma?

Though the Bible does not sugar coat we will be persecuted for our beliefs, the instruction is to be prepared for when they do happen in your life. The healing that is inherited in following Christ is understanding the power that supports you above those things.

We pray that peace and love be plentiful in all of God’s family around the world.
