Today's Devotional: Living In Fear Is Not Natural Or Supernatural

 

A Life Without Fear

No matter our struggles, we can have hope and overcome fear because Jesus promised to be with us—always.

Matthew 17:5-7

As Jesus prepared to enter Jerusalem, He knew the days ahead would be challenging for the disciples. He had already told them He’d be arrested and killed and then would rise from the dead (Matthew 16:21). His followers would face costly sacrifices (Matthew 16:24), and the way ahead seemed bleak.

Then the Lord was transfigured, and Peter, James, and John saw Him in the company of the greatest prophets. Jesus revealed a world where He is king, where all the hope of the Jewish people is fulfilled. The three disciples heard the Father affirm Jesus as His “beloved Son” (17:5). The vision was an incredible gift of hope, but it was also overwhelming. Jesus comforted the disciples by saying, “Get up, and do not be afraid” (v. 7). These words were reassuring for the present but also strengthening for the persecution that would come. As we read yesterday, the Transfiguration provided the light they would need for the dark road ahead.

Can we live in the same light? Jesus would later comfort His disciples with a further promise—that He would be with them always (Matthew 28:20). Remembering the promise of God’s presence helps us endure with hope. We may not face the same persecution the disciples did, but the cost of following Jesus remains high. Focusing on Him and the coming kingdom that was revealed in the Transfiguration helps us live without fear.

Fearless with Jason Whitlock - Damn Shame: How the NFL, Bill Belichick, Isaiah Bolden, and Feminism Killed Football

 Football died Saturday night in Green Bay, Wisconsin, when New England Patriots defensive back Isaiah Bolden collided with a teammate, laid motionless on the ground, and was carted off the field. Minutes later, the NFL made the call to end the game. Football’s death wasn’t acute. It was a slow, painful death that paralleled the rise of American feminism and the revolt against all things masculine. “The social-media matrix has trained modern male athletes and sports journalists to think like a woman: in all things, pursue safety. That is not man’s natural inclination. The pursuit of safety is not what made America the envy of the world.” Jason is joined by former Pats wide receiver T.J. Moe, who weighs in on his former coach, future Hall of Famer Bill Belichick, co-signing on the decision to stop the game following Bolden’s injury. Plus, Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to add his perspective on the end of football as we know it.

The Matt Walsh Show: Canada’s ‘Mass Graves’ Hoax Is Yet Another Fabricated Narrative To Demonize Christians

 

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, churches burned across Canada after the media started reporting about "unmarked graves" at Christian schools in the country. Well, investigators have finally started to unearth some of these "graves" and guess what they've found? Nothing but rocks. Yet another hoax is exposed. Also, Trump officially announces that he will be skipping the upcoming republican debate. And Judy Garland is the latest dead celebrity to be canceled. Apparently she performed in blackface in the 1930s.

The Matt Walsh Show: Why The Media Is So Eager To Smear The 'Blind Side' Family

 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has been very excited this week by the supposed revelation that the family from The Blind Side are really villains who exploited a black kid for their own gain. But this narrative is almost certainly false. We'll talk about the latest in the Michael Oher saga, and what the Left's hatred of so-called "white saviorism" says about them and the culture. Also, a day after being attacked by a Republican congressman for declaring her faith in Christ, the same woman has now been fired from her position at Ohio Right To Life. What's going on there? And a mother brags about having her minor daughter mutilated for the sake of "gender affirmation." But I thought we were told that sort of thing never happens?

Today's Devotional: The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand!

 

Seeing the Kingdom

Truly understanding that Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords changes everything.

Matthew 16:28; Matthew 17:1-2

Jesus’ words in today’s passage sound too good to believe. He said the kingdom of heaven was at hand and promised that “some of those who are standing here” would see it. But the next day—and the five after that—were just normal days in the same dark world. 

On the sixth day, however, Peter, James, and John were with Jesus for what we now call the Transfiguration. And what an amazing thing they witnessed! As their Master’s appearance changed, they saw His face shining “like the sun” and His clothes a luminous white.

The next day the three disciples awoke as usual in the world they had always known—but they were different. They had seen the promised kingdom. And they carried that hopeful memory for the rest of their days, living in the light of the kingdom Jesus had revealed.

In his epistles, Peter wrote about that hope in the King and His coming kingdom. He said that he, James, and John were “eyewitnesses of His majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). He believed what he saw and trusted that Jesus’ promises were “a lamp shining in a dark place” (2 Peter 1:19).

The Transfiguration offers us the same hope today. Since the King’s majesty has been revealed to us as well, we can endure our dark places by living in the light of the coming kingdom.
