American individualism and it’s influence on the

American individualism and it’s influence on the church is widespread. It infiltrates the way we see the Bible, and it’s reach is far-felt. To live in America means we have the right to self-expression, our opinions, and self-proclaimed truths that can hinder our witness.

The western mindset is me, and my rights.
The Bible is we, and our God.

The Christian life is meant to be lived in community, and does not pit us against our neighbors, but instead values our neighbors as ourselves. (2nd Commandment)

So, how do we combat this cultural phenomenon and stand on Biblical ground?

We look more into the Kingdom of God, we are Kingdom citizens which means the King of our lives is God first and foremost, and we find our citizenship under HIS rule and alongside other family members! We also, desire to see all come into his Kingdom! We do this through love of God and compassions for others, and HUMILITY. #chasingsacred

I saw someone on social media who was claiming to

I saw someone on social media who was claiming to be a prophet. My alarms went off right away as I closed my phone for the night. The next morning I was led to this passage that tells us not to regard things with contempt but instead to test them and reject evil,
“Do not quench the Spirit 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt. 21 but test them all hold on to what is good 22 reject every kind of evil,” (1 Thessalonians 5:19)

Often, we as people can fear and reject a good thing—if we have had bad experiences with it. One bad experience can filter the way we see everything related to that event. Our history influences our Faith. For example, if we have one bad experience with a Dr, then all Drs are bad. (This is a principle that can be used in other areas of our lives)

The Thessalonians had some bad experiences with prophecy in the church, there was not-sound doctrine, and false testimony was being spread. But, Paul says to them, do not treat all prophecies with contempt because of your past experience, instead test them all.

It is easy to get wrapped up in rejecting an idea if it is not familiar to us, our biases sometimes inform our thinking more than the Word of God does. If it doesn’t align with what we have been taught, or previously believed, then sometimes we can hold it in contempt and be in danger of rejecting Gods work, or Gods people. Be wise and discerning in this age and TEST everything with the Bible, and the power of the Holy Spirit. #chasingsacred

We are a generation that is really good at using our voices to enact change! I think that is one of the ways that we are special! But, are we using those same voices to petition God as much as we are using them to express our online advocacy? ❌ Let us spend more time on our knees! ❌

Sins against these children are sins against God f

Sins against these children are sins against God first. These sins directly reject God.

I often forget that if another persons sin is disgusting ME, can you imagine how much it disgusts God?

We can take great comfort in the fact that God has an even greater desire to EXPOSE and punish sin than we do. He has an even greater desire for his people to live a life pleasing to him than we do.

So, if you’re feeling helpless, lean into our powerful God by petitioning him.

As I have been reading more and more about sex trafficking, I have found myself more and more discouraged until I read 1st Thess. 4:1-8.

“Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.” (1 These. 4:8)

Often, when we see sin whether it is sex trafficking or other people’s sin, it can be so discouraging. I often feel as if I might be fighting this fight alone and the sin weighs me down. But, God is the true avenger of sin, and I would do well to continue to pray his Kingdom here as I advocate and petition for these kids. #chasingsacred

Do you continue with what you feel God has called

Do you continue with what you feel God has called you to DESPITE opposition?
 When we let people’s comments, or lack of likes on Instagram derail us from posting the message God has laid on our hearts then we are looking to please people not God.
 If we longed to please God, we would offer the gospel DESPITE persecution, a lack of engagement, or, nay-sayers, “3 For the appeal we make does not come from error or impurity or with deceit, 4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we declare it, not to please people but God, who examines our hearts.” (2 Thess. 2:3)
 In all these verses Paul actually proves that his motives are pure by basically saying he endured extreme opposition and still continued on with his calling.

Someday, we will be evaluated by God in the end for what we did. In the end, our motives will be made evident. As Beth Moore says, “We don’t care about who has gathered the most fruit at reaping time.” Instead, we must approach everything from a place of genuine love for those we are ministering to.

If we want to see change in others hearts, then your care for them cannot be, “ to seek glory from people.”(2 Thess. 2:6) #chasingsacred
