What???? Are you kidding me??? Verse 21?!?
We’re just four verses from the finish line, Sisters! To God’s great glory, we’re doing this thing! I grinned from ear to ear two weeks ago when someone posted “Jesus wept” as her verse. That’s fair game! All of us could use a little catch from time to time. You guys bring me so much joy. May God cause His love and power to explode within you because you’ve worked so hard and fought so many distractions to get to this point.
OK, Girlfriends, here’s mine:

Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11 The NET Bible

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
Galatians 5:1 NIV
I find so many are too afraid to stand on the truth and speak truth that they explain why they believe this or that is sin, to the degree that they become apologetic for believing God. In so doing they apologize for God. This is sin. I am wondering where our faith is, why do we doubt God’s ability to reach the lost with the simple truth that Christ’s death and resurrection provided us with many things….including power to overcome our sins. The truth is offensive, but God is faithful to save those who desire to know, regardless of how hard the truth is to hear.
1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
