    Reflection · Crying Out for Justice

    When is it hardest to believe in God's compassion?

    It's hardest to believe in God's compassion when we're going through difficult times, especially when our prayers seem unanswered and our struggles don't seem to end. In those moments, it can be difficult to understand why God allows certain things to happen. But we must remember that even when we don't understand His ways, it doesn't mean He has stopped loving or caring for us.

    When have you trusted God with an uncertain outcome?

    So many times! But one I can recall recently is when our car broke down on the side of the road out in the middle of nowhere. We had our 5 year old daughter and 18 month old baby in the car. It was blistering hot outside. I prayed deeply for God to help us and he spoke clearly into me just then that he would and not to worry. Just then help arrived around the corner and fixed our car. It was an instant answer. I had to trust that God would come through even though it was scary but He did!

    No, because if these are the same friends you sinned with and the friendship’s foundation is built on sin you disregard “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;” ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬ ‭ESV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/59/psa.1.1.ESV

    Is it more challenging to risk or to remain silent?

    Risk for me personally but God is teaching me how to have more courage. The more I listen to him & read his word and put up my shield of faith. The less scared I am of taking next steps even if I'm scared.

    What should you do when waiting for God's timing?

    Pray, be quite, thanking Him for what He’s going to do, listen for Gods still voice. God is speaking all the time but we want be quite and listen long enough to hear what He is telling us.🧡

    No, I believe your close friends should be fellow believers. I think having friends who aren’t believers is important but you are what you surround yourself with, so be honest and examine yourself.

    I don’t think we should abandon people once we get saved. nor do I think we should only be friends with people who are believers. but, and this is a big but, we have to be discerning with what we go to these friends for. without a shared worldview some things we might be going through aren’t going to be on the best hands of someone who isn’t following Jesus. Additionally our friendship might be the way that Jesus gets to their heart.

    Reflection · Temple Cleansing

    Was Jesus' anger justified or excessive?

    Completely justified. Even today false prophets sell their prosperity doctrine as holy and righteous yo build and justify their lavish lifestyles. Church should not be a place to sell merch or the idea that if you are poor it is God’s will, and the poor must be undeserving of help.

    Yes, because it is by living the Way that we become examples that others may, when the time is right, begin exploring and following themselves. This has just happened to me, my best friend, who a year ago said they would never be a Christian has since had a change of heart.

    Yes, because Jesus didnt come into the world to hang out with fellow believers, He came to save the UN saved. It’s amazing having Christian friends who push us in our relationship with Christ, but we need to be preaching the gospel to those who need to hear it. Having close friends who aren’t Christian’s can push us to share the gospel and the good news of Jesus!

    Is it more challenging to risk or to remain silent?

    I think they are both challenging because it’s knowing when to risk and when to remain silent.

    I had an incredible experience tonight with a Christian friend that will definitely move me in the right direction!!

    Yes, because you can eventually bring them to salvation. Telling them of Jesus Christ our savior.

    No, because you can’t have evil people who are pretending to be good

    No, because friends like that feed your flesh and don't draw you closer to God. on the contrary... I do have close Luke warm believer friends who I try to nudge closer to God.
