Trust In The LORD

This is a small part of a complete sermon by my dear brother Jordan to the church where we hold fellowship with. Touching mostly with the current news of an American pastor and mental health expert, a self-confessed advocate of the LGBT agenda, who committed suicide. The purpose is to identify the sin of worry among the flock early, so it does not come anywhere near the contemplating of suicide. We can employ fancy medical terminologies to describe anxiety, but doing so deals only with the symptom, not the root of the disease: unbelief.

The mind is a spiritual thing. It cannot get sick. It can only get influenced. Scripture says we wrestle not against flesh and blood. But in failing to identify the root, because it will hurt our pride, we fail to properly address the enemy. We have not been given the spirit of fear, but we have been given power. So many Christians today live powerless lives. They choose to be paupers instead of availing the riches and glory that can be found in the promises of Christ to his people. Christianity is power, not confusion and hopelessness.

Christ is the only source of salvation. He is Salvation.

Christ is the only source of joy. He is Joy.

Christ is the only source of peace. He is Peace.

You cannot have one apart from the other. Because they all come from one person. Jesus Christ. It has been righty said, that modern Christendom's epitaph would read: We Wrestle Not.
