—Matthew 10:16-25
by: Tim Bond.
Some radio and TV preachers today bring the message that the world wants to hear. It sounds something like this, “If you accept Jesus as your Savior, you will be financially successful, physically healthy, and politically safe.” That simply is not true. Those speakers must have ignored today’s passage in Matthew. They see roses without thorns, taking stands without consequences, and life without pain. We have not been placed in a perfect, sinless world. We must deal with the results of fallen man. However, we know when we remain true through all of life’s trials, it is God who has saved us.
