In our time, idolatry rarely appears in obvious forms. It hides behind good things — ambitions, influence, reputation, relationships, self-image, control, and even gifts God Himself has given. What begins as a blessing can quietly become a rival to the One who gave it.

In our world, filled with talk about our “rights” as human beings, the message of the Bible is strikingly countercultural.

Polycarp is one of Christendom’s most famous martyrs. The 86-year-old bishop of Smyrna refused to recant his faith, choosing instead to be burned at the stake. Why?

 As children of God, we have been given a new home and a new hope.

Routes to progress and success often take detours. Never is there a straight path toward either of them. And in those unscheduled stops and perceived pauses, that’s where “progress” is thwarted — I call these moments, Crushing moments. They seek to threaten and destroy our journey from what we’ve determined is our destination. But crushing moments are never truly the end. Rather, the crushing becomes the creation of something new. They reveal there is more to our lives than what we had planned.

Three times in I Samuel, Jonathan said to his young armor bearer, "Come, Let's Go!" Three times in Revelation 22 Jesus said, "I'm coming soon!"

We need discipleship in evangelism! COME, LET'S GO!
