Every commandment God has given us is for "our good always" (Deuteronomy 6:24). Sometimes, following God's instructions might not feel "good," but God wants what is best for all His people, and He knows the best way to achieve that. Church discipline is one of the hardest, but most loving and powerful, actions that Christians can take to show their love for each other and God.

Fall Creek
We like to use the word "awesome," but rarely do we stop to think about what it really means. In its truest sense, it means that something strikes us with awe and wonder. A microscopic tardigrade that can live in temperatures as cold as -458 degrees Fahrenheit or as hot as 300 degrees can fill us with awe and cause us to marvel at its awesome Creator.

Until I accept my God-given responsibility to take the gospel to the lost, I will never be faithful. Let's take up a heart of courage, and like Paul, not be ashamed of the gospel!
