When the wicked rise to power, people hide, but when they perish, the righteous increase.
#Proverbs 28:28 TLV #biblestudy
Today's cancel culture is an in-your-face example of Proverbs 28:28. The wicked dominate every institution, every industry, and every branch of government. If you dare to stand up and speak the truths that are glaringly obvious to every rational person, you risk being canceled from everything. So-called "social justice warriors" will attack you relentlessly. They will try to get you fired from your job. They will run you out of business. They will try to get you arrested and even killed simply because you make them aware of the sickness in their own souls.
God hasn't abandoned us, though. Sometimes he allows the wicked to rage so that nobody will be able to deny that their destruction is true justice.
My goal today is to provide you with practical tools to defeat idolatry in your everyday life, as well as to begin to walk in righteousness and holiness. Tools include old-fashioned ideas like your Bible and journal, as well as more modern technology and apps for your phone. https://archive.aweber.com/awlist6425868/520s.
What does it mean to live by faith? Paul uses this in his letter to the Romans and said as it is written… The original context is found in Habakkuk 2:4, “Look at the proud one; his soul is not upright— but the righteous will live by faith” The proud refuses to subject themselves to any authority other than their own. When we live by faith we subject ourselves to the authority of our Creator — we hear His voice and obey His instruction.
