As we approach the 2024 elections, the rhetoric intensifies, revealing a nation in search of its identity. In today's devotional, Pastor Scott emphasizes the importance of defining our shared values as a nation to heal and thrive. Paul Keenan reminds us that losing sight of human nature leads to chaos. Let's focus on deeper values, like prudence, justice, and love, to guide our decisions amid controversies. As people of faith, we're blessed with divine guidance.

📖✨ Embrace the surprises of Scripture! 🌟 Contrary to common beliefs, many ancient women had leadership opportunities in the early church. We see evidence of this in Phoebe's story—a woman commended by Paul, a leader among saints, and a patron with financial means. Express gratitude for strong, self-confident Biblical women who defied norms. Join in prayer for a deeper understanding of historical equality and for equality in all areas of life. 🌐🙏 #BiblicalWisdom #FindingPhoebe #EqualityPrayers #dailydevotions 🌈✝️

🌍 Reflecting on Faith and Earth 🙏✨

Today's devotional from Pastor Scott calls us to reflect on the connection between Christian theology and environmental responsibility. The Book of Revelation envisions a new heaven and earth; a return to Eden. What if our convictions of faith and ecology inspired a greater desire for a cleaner world?

In prayer, seek wisdom to honor God and creation and express gratitude for the divine uniqueness of our earthly home. 🌱🌟 #FaithAndEcology #Stewardship #CreationCare

🌟 Embracing Surrender and Limiting Control 🌟

Discovering Epictetus' wisdom has enriched my journey. Although not aligned with Christianity, his teachings resonate. "Control or surrender," he said. As Christians, surrendering what we can't control fosters resilience. Thomas Oppong advises, "Focus on your circle of influence."

Surrender to our Triune God expands our influence. Stoicism aligns with faith—acknowledge limits, surrender to God. Let's offer control to God; surrender becomes our chief task, a divine gift. 🙏✨ #Stoicism #FaithJourney #SurrenderToGod
