We’re often faced with questions in life that leave us stranded and straining, and yet God has already given a clear answer: no. Not “no” like an authoritarian parent who smothers his children, but rather like a loving father who sees the danger that will be averted by avoiding the trap altogether. If you have children, you know exactly the kind of “no” I’m speaking about. When you tell your child to stay away from the stove, you aren’t trying to control them or keep them from having fun. You’re protecting them from a nasty burn that is sure to follow contact with a hot surface. This is the way God watches over us.
- Pastor Merritt
Too many people allow the world to define who they are. We are judged by the size of our homes, the cars we drive, the clothes we wear, our bank accounts, social standing and a host of other material standards which are subject to change at any given moment. But our worth to God rests solely in our relationship with Him and His standard. The world sees the material value of a person, but God looks at their heart!
- Ron Lambros, President, Touching Lives
