Ultimately, forgiveness is a gift that we give ourselves. Perhaps, though, the only way you can do that is if you receive the best gift of forgiveness there ever was.

Much like grief, there are stages to forgiveness. It’s a path and a process that can be painful. But eventually God can and will lead you to replace anger and resentment with forgiveness and grace.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “It’s too much to forgive”? When we are hurt deeply enough, forgiveness doesn’t even seem like an option. This week, we’ll be inspired by others’ forgiveness in the face of incredible injustices.

No matter how faithful we are to God, disaster sometimes seeks us out. How do we not just hang on to Christ, but lead others to do so as well? We should feel inspired to prepare for the storm, and when in the storm, comforted that we’re not alone.

We can’t change a generation alone. But instead of waiting for someone else to do something, we need to take the lead, asking others to join us in attacking the evil in our world and being absolutely dedicated to every detail of the Word of God.

The evil we’ve experienced in the past, when viewed through a God-lens, inspires us to do something to change it. Let the evil around us make us to want to take action, devoting ourselves to living out the Word of God.

Why hasn’t Jesus come back yet? Is He forgetful, busy, or just slow? No, God is patient, waiting for everyone to have opportunity to know Him. Therefore, as we await Jesus’ return, our mission is to do everything we can to help make that happen.

False teachers are eloquent, but deceptive and dangerous, especially in today’s digital world. As men of faith, we can serve our families well by taking the posture of watchmen, carefully evaluating what our children are exposed to.

It’s easy to settle for the temporary realities of life instead of leaning into the eternal. However, with Jesus’ return imminent, now is the time to stand firm on the truth, making every effort to respond to God’s promises by deepening in faith.
