Nothing Surprises Our God

Everything isn't a conspiracy.  But even if it is, NOTHING surprises our GOD. He predicted all this in the SCRIPTURE.  It is sad to see the CHURCH in so much FEAR. If you are a believer, we are better served preaching the gospel than arguing over masks, viruses, riots, protests and our "freedom." Yes we should be aware that our government may not always have our best interests, but letting our skepticism of the government shine brighter than our faith in Messiah shows our priorities can easily get misplaced! Also, if we live our lives trying not to offend the world and to be everyone's friend, we have missed our calling. Paul wrote that our faith is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks. God also said he uses the simple things of this world to humble those who think they are wise. The GOSPEL is rubbishness to those who are perishing,  but to those of us being saved, Eternal Life. Do not be discouraged.  Pray for those who persecute us! Jesus told us they would! Respond in love and in truth! We can't just yell at people, we must listen. But that doesn't mean we water down the truth of God's word. I love all of you. Believers, let's live a life worthy of the gospel we preach.  Peace.
