Do You Really Know Jesus and Delight in the Kingdom of Heaven?

Give ear, O my people, to my law;
Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
I will open my mouth in a parable;
I will utter dark sayings of old,
Which we have heard and known,
And our fathers have told us.
Psalm 78:1-3 (NKJV)

How Amazing God Draws a Straight Line with Crooked Pencils 

But we are all like an unclean thing, 

And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; 

We all fade as a leaf, 

And our iniquities, like the wind, 

Have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV)

Restoring Hope: A Labor of Love for Our Nation’s Future How?

Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this case the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, andz you have [l]come into their labor.”John 4 (NASB)  4 We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.”  John 9:4 NASB

How To Restore Hope in A World Where Desolation Surrounds You

1The Lord is my light and my salvation.
I fear no one.
The Lord protects my life.
I am afraid of no one.
2When evil men attack me
to devour my flesh,
when my adversaries and enemies attack me,
they stumble and fall.
3 Even when an army is deployed against me,
I do not fear.
Even when war is imminent,
I remain confident. Psalm 27 (NET)
Patiently wait for God alone, my soul! For he is the one who gives
me hope. Psalm 62:5 (NET)
