Elijah is the most memorable of the prophets during the early days of the divided kingdom. There were others before him, but they came and went quickly and with little fanfare. However, we have substantial detail about portions of Elijah’s work beginning in 1 Kings 17 and ending in 2 Kings 2. Additionally, he is referenced thirty times in the New Testament, which is more than any other Old Testament prophet (except Moses).

Faithfulness to God is not merely a feeling or a confession—it is a devotion to God which will shape how we think, how we worship, and how we serve. True faithfulness will affect every part of our lives. Below, we’ll discuss the mechanics of faithful living, though I think most of us are already aware of these things. The true struggle is one of consistency – having the day-after-day volition to put God first in all things. We need to take up the cross daily (Luke 9:23), search the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11), and exhort one another to faithful service daily (Hebrews 3:13).

Speaking the Truth in Love – and Under Scrutiny

Laws that threaten religious freedom rarely begin by banning sermons. They begin with the redefinition of words — especially words like harm, hate, safety, truth, tolerance, and inclusion. Over time, those redefinitions reshape what a society considers acceptable speech, and eventually, what it is willing to tolerate from people of faith.

True Faith: More Than Just Believing in Jesus

Believing in Jesus

Is believing in Jesus enough? Or is there more? Hear the words of Jesus:

…if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words has that which judges him – the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (John 12:47-48)

The Lord came to reveal and call us to the truth. He said:

…if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to savve the world. He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words has that which judges him – the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. (John 12:47-48)

God’s word is of exceptional value and benefit to the child of God. The Scripture says:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother, for they will be a graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck. (Proverbs 1:8-9)

My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent … My son, do not walk in the way with them, keep your foot from their path; for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. (Proverbs 1:10, 15-16)
