Standing on God's Promises Not Sitting on His Premises

The culture in which we live is an infectious and polarizing wilderness. Facing the challenges of society will require strength outside of us to be successful. It will require faith in God, through His Son Jesus Christ, to address hate, injustice, implicit bias, division, poverty, anti Semitism, etc. Now more than ever, we must stand on the promises of God through obedience to His Word and not sit on His premises if positive change is to take place in our culture through Christianity. As the scriptures tell us, "e;For unto us a Child was born, a Son was given, and the government is on His shoulders; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"e; (Isaiah 9:6). God promises victory to those who believe, obey His Word, and stand on His promises.
