Cancel Culture ≠ God's Way

"Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful." ~ Luke 6:36 NKJV

Cancel culture is plaguing our society. 

But scripture instructs us to show mercy just as God has shown mercy to us.

When we sit on our high horse and shun people to the point of cancelling them, we are violating the very essence of Christianity. 

Christianity is rooted in the notion that mankind is imperfect and needed a Savior to redeem it. We all need that Savior. Every last one of us. Each and every day.

Canceling others without showing mercy is to be like the Pharisees, who Jesus called out for their hypocrisy. 

Our faith teaches us to go into all the world, preach the Gospel and make disciples. So how can we reach the world if we cancel it?

Show mercy today fam. 

God bless,

Jesus Walks (Part I)

The first in this week-long series on Jesus’ last days here on Earth.

The Sunday before Easter is the beginning of Passover, the Jewish holiday designed to commemorate the story in Exodus when God inflicted Egypt with ten plagues as punishment for Pharaoh’s refusal to free the Israelites, who were slaves in the Egyptian kingdom.

The Bible tells us that, on the first day of Passover, some 2009 years ago, as Jesus went into the city of Jerusalem, there was a multitude that “spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!’”

As we all know, just days later, many in this same multitude would cry out “crucify Him” as Jesus was being charged for blasphemy by the Pharisees and chief priests.

This just goes to show you that people will lift you up one day only to tear you down the next. That is why we must place our faith in God and God alone.

Man is weak, but God is strong.

Man changes, but God never changes.

As the old hymn says, “on Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.”

God bless,
J.W.
