This week we trace how online hate reveals the heart, then move to exposure and accountability in the church, and finally lay out what the Bible says a Christian is and isn’t. We challenge cheap grace, contrast devout and nominal faith, and call for obedience rooted in love.

• hate comments as a mirror for the heart
• public exposés and digital receipts
• the duty to denounce at the same volume as promotion
• Christian as recognition, not self-label
• data on devout vs nominal outcomes
• works as evidence, not currency for salvation
• judging inside the church to protect the flock
• repentance, endurance and keeping commandments
• love as action and the daily cross
• warning against wolves and stumbling blocks

Christ is King. Jesus loves you and he’s coming back soon. If Jesus is your saviour, but not your Lord, he’s neither of those things for you.

• Madam Mim, predators, rules, and ethical warfare

• call to choose stories that build character

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and he’s coming back soon. Let’s go, baby, let’s gooooo!

• using hurtful feedback to change habits
• the beta region paradox and getting unstuck
• training stress, recovery and resilience
• dangers of overprotection and fragility
• boredom and small tactics to regain focus
• honest feedback, shame versus condemnation
• scripture on suffering, pruning and purpose
• closing reflections and simple takeaways

Christ is King, Jesus loves you, and He's coming back soon
