Its very apparent we live in a pressure cooker world. The pressure of life hits us and we get worried. Worry is fear turned inside out. When worry takes over in our lives, it chokes out the Word of God. It causes us to abandon our trust in the Lord.

Famed radio commentator Paul Harvey tells about a 3-year-old boy who went to the grocery store with his mother. Before they entered the grocery store she said to him, “Now you’re not going to get any chocolate chip cookies, so don’t even ask.”

We are not made to be citizens of not only a country but of God's kingdom. "In God, we trust" shouldn't be just a motto but a way of life.

We face a changing culture or changing circumstance by faith in the changeless Christ.

STAND TOGETHER IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
STRIVE TOGETHER TO ADVANCE THE GOSPEL
SUFFER TOGETHER FOR CHRIST’S SAKE

We did nothing to cause Jesus to love us. We do nothing to cause Him to keep loving us.
