COT:
Don’t waste your super powers.

We all love superheroes. Favorites mentioned were Thor, Mr. Miyagi, and Batman. We love these stories because the individuals used their gifts/talents to help and serve others. It would be a shame, and not good story, if these guys didn’t use their super powers for good.

Like these heroes we all have God given talent and gifts. First, do you realize this? Second, are you using them to serve others? If so, you can know that you are giving God glory by using your gifts for good. If not, it is a waste of life and gift.

I think understanding this is one of the secrets of life, and also helps make sense of why life can be hard. So think about your gifts, and use them for good.

COT:
YHC is very much an easy going guy. I don’t like to get involved in controversy. Some would probably state that this is a good trait to have, and I generally agree. However, one can take it too far. There are a couple of passages I want to share to illustrate.
‭Obadiah 1:10-11 NASB1995‬
[10] “Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever. [11] On the day that you stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And cast lots for Jerusalem— You too were as one of them.”
The Edomites, descendants of Esau the brother of Jacob, didn’t come to their brother’s aid, the nation of Israel. This is among the reasons why Edom is being judged in this book.
‭Revelation 3:15-16 NASB1995‬
[15] ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. [16] So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.”
The church at Laodicea was not passionate about serving the Lord. They were taking the easy path, and Christ condemns this lack of action.
It is appropriate to be accommodating and to defer to others in many cases. But, we have an obligation to stand firm in the faith. We cannot let Satan tempt us into being indifferent in matters of faith and our families’ wellbeing.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) Being prideful is no different than saying, “I don’t need God. I’ve got this.” It lifts us up in our own eyes, but in God’s sight, it separates us from His grace. James 4:6 says God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.

Holidays can be heavy. Don’t be afraid to ask for God’s help.
