“The righteous and the wicked will not coexist in the same realm forever. Sinners will have no place among the righteous, whether in worship, fellowship, or receiving God's favor. In the final day, the righteous will be gathered together to receive their reward, while sinners will be excluded. The assembly of the righteous will be a place of joy and celebration, but sinners will not be part of it. The righteous will be united in their devotion to God, and sinners will not share in that unity. Ultimately, the wicked will be separated from the righteous, with no place in their congregation. The righteous will be gathered in heaven, while sinners will be left out.”

“While nature reveals God's power and divinity, it is through His Word that we learn His will and purpose for us. Divine revelation provides the full picture of God's plan, going beyond what nature can teach us. Through the Spirit and the apostles, God has made His will known to us, writing it down for our benefit and understanding. Scripture is essential for knowing God's intentions and desires for humanity. Without God's Word, we would be limited to only partial knowledge of Him, gained through creation. The Bible provides the clarity and guidance we need to live according to God's will.”

“God's Word showcases numerous examples of older individuals playing vital roles in His plan. Moses and Aaron led the Israelites out of Egypt in their 80s, demonstrating that age is not a barrier to serving God. Joshua and Caleb were instrumental in conquering Canaan, with Caleb still strong and active in his 80s. Daniel's life of service spanned over 70 years, with significant contributions made in his later years. Older believers like Simeon and Anna recognized and honored the Christ child, showing that age can bring wisdom and insight. The apostle Paul, despite being in prison and advanced in age, remained active in ministry, writing letters and encouraging churches.”

“GOD'S USE OF OLDER PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH TODAY
THERE IS ALWAYS A NEED FOR "ELDERS"...
Did God not design the local church to be overseen by elders? - Ac 14:23; Tit 1:5-9
Men who were older, capable of teaching and leading the flock?
Men who were to serve as overseers and examples of God's flock? - 1Pe 5:1-4
Yet many male members seem to retire from active service in the church about the same time they retire from secular work!
Around age 65, which is rather young compared to the examples we saw!
Just when they might be useful to the Lord, they are retiring!
If unqualified to serve, why not spend a few years growing and developing the necessary qualifications (if possible), and then serve?
Many young men who want to preach prepare themselves in just a couple of years, why can't older men do the same?”

And in the midst of it all, Jesus is the ultimate solution, bringing hope, healing, and redemption to every struggle.”

“The choices we make in youth can sow seeds that shape our future, for better or worse. Rebellion, dishonesty, and destructive behaviors may offer temporary thrills, but they often lead to long-term consequences.

Prioritizing integrity, responsibility, and self-control can lead to a more fulfilling and purpose-driven life. By making informed, wise choices, we can cultivate a brighter future and avoid the pitfalls that can derail our lives.”

“*"God is not limited to denominations; He transcends them. In John 17:21, Jesus prayed for unity among believers, saying, 'That they all may be one.' God desires unity and harmony among His people, beyond denominational boundaries. In Revelation 7:9, we see a vision of people from every nation, tribe, and tongue, worshiping together before the throne of God. God's focus is on the heart, not the label. He looks for faith, love, and obedience, not denominational affiliation. Let's strive to unite in spirit, celebrating our diversity while standing together in love and purpose."*”

“Prayer is the lifeline that connects us to God, and without it, our attempts at righteousness are mere human efforts. Without prayer, our 'good deeds' can become self-serving, driven by pride and a desire for recognition. True godly righteousness comes from a heart that's humbled and dependent on God, and prayer is the key to cultivating that heart. When we're prayerless, we risk becoming righteous in our own eyes, but not in God's. Our self-righteousness can be a barrier to true spiritual growth and intimacy with God. Prayerlessness leads to a self-focused righteousness, whereas prayer opens the door to a God-focused, Spirit-led life.”

He turned our struggles into triumphs, and our doubts into testimonies. Through it all, God's protection and elevation proved His love and faithfulness.”

“A wicked person's heart is consumed by darkness, fueled by jealousy and hatred for the truth. They manipulate and gossip, spreading poison and deceit. Revengeful attitudes and stinginess define their actions, leaving destruction in their wake. Betrayal is their game, and fabricating lies is their art. Their words cut deep, but their true nature is exposed in time. The wicked may prosper temporarily, but justice and truth will ultimately prevail.”

Let us seek to understand God's purpose in rejection and trust in His goodness. In His protection, we find peace and hope for a brighter future.”

“Faith is not measured by how many times you go to church, but by how you live your life with love, kindness, and compassion. It's the heart that matters, not the ritual. True faith is demonstrated through actions, not just words. When you show empathy, help those in need, and stand up for what's right, that's when your faith truly shines. Faith is about trusting in something greater than yourself and living with purpose and integrity. By living out your values and principles, you inspire others and make a positive impact.”

“God's kingdom is not of this world, yet many have traded eternal riches for earthly wealth. They build grand structures, but neglect the temple of their soul. The pursuit of heavenly treasures is replaced with the pursuit of earthly gain. The kingdom of God is a kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy, but many have settled for a kingdom of this world. Let us not be fooled by the temporary riches of this world, but seek the eternal riches that come from above.”
― Shaila Touchton

“Humility is the foundation of faith, but spiritual pride can be a subtle foe. A humble heart seeks God's truth, while arrogance claims it all. 'Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall' (1 Corinthians 10:12). Pride blinds us to our own flaws while magnifying others'. True wisdom comes from recognizing our need for God. 'Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall' (Proverbs 16:18).”
