News and Notes Update: August 31, 2020
Though this entire situation has taken the world by surprise, it has not taken God by surprise. He knew it would happen and His provision for us is there, if we will draw close to Him. Many parts of the America have become thoroughly dangerous places. Yet, in spite of what happens to any of us, God is our Guide and Guard. This may not mean that we will be kept from every avenue of violence. It means that God will never leave or forsake us.
Racism Used to Divide, Conquer, and Create New Truth
The first time Christ came, He did not come to change society. He did not come to eradicate lies. He came to create a way for humanity to gain salvation. Certainly, if all people were authentically saved today, society would be a different place, but the sin nature would still exist. It will only be when there is a society of people who do not have the sin nature and have Jesus as Lord and Savior that the change will be complete. Until then, we live not only among sinful people, easily swayed by the deceits of the enemy, but we ourselves continue to be taken in by our own resident sin nature. Though we have salvation in Christ and the Holy Spirit lives within us, our inherent sin nature keeps us at odds with ourselves and with God at times.
