Deconstruction is the word of the day...and honestly, we get it. Scandals are rocking the church right now, and they're causing a lot of people to question everything. In this episode, we walk through how to actually think about the abuses, the scandals, healing, skepticism, and trust BIBLICALLY. If you're not sure you can ever trust the church again, OR you'd rather "judge not"...this one is for you.

Of course there are many debates about the End Times and what the Great Tribulation will be like. But we don’t have to wonder or be confused because it’s very clear in the Book of Enoch and confirmed by David throughout Psalms—good will triumph over evil! So the question becomes, what is our part in the victory? Tune in every Monday @ 1PM CT!

God is not only the source of all love, but is love itself. Because we are made in His image, we too were meant to express love the way He does, as described in the Love Chapter--1 Corinthians 13. This familiar passage, "Love is patient, love is kind..." was never about us trying harder so we could simply be a more loving person. Elizabeth brings fresh perspective of the kind of love God pours through us when we allow Him to rewire our way of thinking that leads to new ways of acting. I CHOOSE LOVE: Truth Statement Today is another day full of opportunities to know the real You and to make the real You known, to learn to be loved and to love. Today I will care for Your heart because You care for mine. Today I will love You well. I will love myself well, my family and others well. I will choose love over all else and I fully realize it will be costly to do so. (1 Corinthians 13) Today I choose to be patient, to be kind, not to be envious of anyone, and not to boast about myself or what I’ve done. I reject pride in myself and choose humility. Today I will love by not dishonoring anyone. (Love does not behave rudely.) I cannot possibly truly love while looking out for myself, so I leave that up to You. (Love does not seek its own.) I refuse to be known as one who gets angry easily. (Love is not provoked.) Today when someone wrongs me I will forgive and forget. I refuse to enjoy talking about what is wrong, but I will celebrate what is right and true. (Love rejoices in the truth.) I will always choose to protect rather than uncover or attack. I will always trust and assume the best instead of being suspicious or assuming the worst. (Love bears all things and believes all things.) The radical love I choose today will never allow me the luxury of anything less than a hopeful perspective of You or myself, my family or friends, or the world. (Love hopes all things.) I will relentlessly, without a moment or day off, continue in this kind of love — excluding no one, no matter who they are and no matter how I’ve been treated by them. (Love endures all things.) Today I cannot fail because today I choose the kind of love that always brings true success and true life. (Love never fails.) I am not a child so I refuse to talk, think, or debate like a child. (When I was a child I spoke as a child, understood, and thought as a child.) Today I live with the awareness that I will soon see You face to face and will know You as intimately as You know me, therefore I’ll act like the adult that I am and focus on what I will take with me into eternity: (Now remain faith, hope, and love.) ~ my growing ability to believe in what I cannot yet see ~ my growing ability to filter everything through the understanding that Your heart towards me is always good ~ my growing ability to choose to be extravagant with the love that You have given to me But my favorite will forever be, getting and giving this crazy love! (The greatest of these is love.) The truth is, even if I never show another person this kind of love, I will have full access to it myself. Because of its very definition I can do nothing to earn it, therefore I won’t require others to either. It is my privilege to choose daily to give this true love freely as it has been given freely to me. I refuse to be motivated by obligation, burden, or need to perform for You, but will be solely motivated by our very real love affair that can never be diminished or stolen from me. Today wherever my voice is heard and my influence is felt, let it resound with love!

You cannot show the world aspects of who Jesus is that you haven't seen yourself. Join us as we further grow in our understanding of who Jesus declared He is when He made seven distinct "I AM..." statements. In this second in a series of seven, Johnny and Elizabeth focus on Jesus' statement, "I Am the Light of the World." Whether your assignment is on the Mountain of Arts & Entertainment, or you can't seem to find a creative bone in your body, let's encounter our Father who is not only the Creator, but is the only true source of real creativity, our Light of the World who displaces every darkness through His sons and daughters.
