The life of a Christian…
Some would say that this is a life of restriction, rules, and lack of fun. I would disagree. It is true that the Bible teaches a standard to live by. Yes, there are commandments to follow, and that means avoiding what much of the world would consider “fun” in some cases. However, what is missed by this viewpoint is the intent behind those commands. Take for example the law against drunkenness. There may be some temporary pleasure in this, but there are many possible negative consequences: damaged families, health concerns, risk of injury, etc. God’s way is better because it shields us from those negative consequences. God always has our best interests in mind. He demonstrates this ultimately by sending His son, Jesus Christ, to live as a human, experience all the temptations that we do without sin, and then sacrifice Himself for our sins. He did not deserve death; we do.
Romans 5:6-9 NASB1995
[6] For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. [8] But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.
The Christian life is the best kind of life. If anyone ever wants to talk more about this, I am always happy to discuss.

Thoughts on events of the weekend and divide of our country. Pray for our country – nothing is too big or too broken for our God.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭38‬-‭39‬ ‭NIV‬‬

COT:
‭We all like getting recognized for good achievements. It is nice to be noticed and thanked for our contributions at work as well. How about when we do something nice for someone? Do we like to be recognized? Does that motivate us to do other good deeds? Here is a Biblical example where this is condemned.
Acts 5:1-5 NASB1995‬
[1] But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, [2] and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. [3] But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? [4] While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” [5] And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.
Ananias and his wife Sapphira held back a portion of the money made by selling their land, but they claimed the money they gave was the full price of the land. Our motivation to perform good deeds should be because it is pleasing to God as we show love for one another. It is about helping others and not doing so do be recognized for our good deeds.

COT: 2 Kings show that we as dads have a great deal of influence on the trajectory of our kids lives. Will our legacy to our kids be a good rut or one they have to get out of? Communicate with your kids, apologize often and speak of the hard things. And thank God for Jesus making a way for God to be our heavenly father that frees us, and them from the generational sin we see so much of (now and in the OT)
