Establishing and pursuing goals is so important in life. Unfortunately, some individuals never set or pursue
goals and others lose focus of their goals leading to a great disappointment in life. What happens if we
don’t continue pursuing godly goals?
In Luke 10, we have the story of Jesus sending out 72 people to minister. He sent them out 2 by 2. Jesus knew that together there is greater encouragement, protection, and effectiveness when with someone else. A pair has power!
Church discipline in our world today is virtually nonexistent. Some churches have gone through negative experiences when they have tried to implement discipline, so they have chosen to back off from biblical mandates. Pastors and church leaders often choose to ignore the topic out of fear of offending anyone. Church leaders don’t want to make any waves, lose people, or be considered legalistic, judgmental or anti-grace. The Church has chosen to look the other way in honor of people at the expense of the honor and righteousness of God.
Hundreds of years ago, in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve lost the reason that God had in creating them. They yielded to temptation and lost their birth certificate. Satan became the ruler and prince of this world through stolen authority. The Bible is the revelation of God’s plan to rescue us and teach us how to live as His redeemed children.
Satan and the battle that every believer encounters is not a figment of your imagination. There is a real battle over the destination of your soul and Satan is the one trying to destroy you.
