Consider this - Let us view our faith like a ship in the water.
Without an anchor, a ship will slowly drift away from its current position and toward possible danger, such as striking land and sinking to the bottom of a body of water.
We need an anchor to maintain our position in faith. What is that anchor? Glad you asked!
Listening to Jesus and his Word is our anchor. To maintain the strength of our anchors, we must do a few things. Examples are going to Bible study, fellowship with others, reading the Bible, and trying to live as Jesus desires us to.
Be careful, for some people deliver a word full of false teachings and not from Jesus. God has numerous ways to speak to us; however, avoid anyone claiming to have a direct line to Jesus or that Jesus sanctions people's illegal actions or political movements.
When you see pictures of pastors laying "healing hands" upon people like Mayor Adams and Donald Trump, you view glaring portraits of folks who have drifted away from Jesus and are not anchored in the Word. No matter how some attempt to twist the Word of God, the Lord does not support immorality and criminal activity.
God is at work exposing the cruelty, lies, crimes, and absurdity of movements like MAGA. Do not despair, for these things must occur.
We must remain anchored in the harbor provided by God's Word and know one thing—no matter the stormy seas churning around us, God is in control!
