While evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it. 2 Timothy 3:13-14
I’ve been saying all along, the Christian life is simple but it is not always easy. The fundamentals of the faith are simple: pray, praise, share, fellowship. But we live in a fallen and deceptive world. The world tries to pull us apart any way it can. People try to bring you down with them to wallow in the mud they’re wallowing in.
Our job is to keep doing what we’ve always been doing, to keep a steady pace and live life. Avoid the distractions and circus clowns around you.
Look straight ahead.
Ignore the sideshows.
Focus on the goal.
Ignore the sideshows.
Focus on the goal.
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:14
