As Christians, we live with a difficult dual mandate. We live in this world, but we are not supposed to be of it. Some people have a problem with how they use grace. Sometimes we focus so much on God's grace that we use it as a crutch to make sin no big deal. After all, if God's grace is so large, then we can just know we are forgiven. Using grace to avoid rooting out sin in our lives misuses grace. I believe this is a large problem in Christendom. Today, may you be inspired to deal with sin harshly as the Bible teaches. Yes, praise God we have God's grace, but it is not a permit to be casual about sin.

Revering the Word has been in a short three-month gap between its first run through the 3-year journey and the new season launching on January 1st, 2027. So what has been going on behind the scenes? Probably more than you know. This is more of an update for Revering the Word insiders or those interested in what is going on in Jay's life.

This podcast announces a new podcast Jay is doing called Dreaming Higher.

I hope this provides some help to you in your friendships and in your fruitfulness.

There are times when you are mistreated and suffer for it, and you need to go to your brother one-on-one. Other times, you will discern that the best response is simply to suffer in silence. This can be hard until you realize it brings God joy and finds favor with Him. In this way, you can experience joy in bearing up under unjust suffering.

God knows when you suffer silently, and He is pleased when you do so and trust Him.

It is so important to have a plan and to kindle afresh our faith daily.

Just a short note to give you an idea on keeping your faith going in this interim. More news to come soon.
