Thought for Today: Sunday July 06

An ambassador is a representative and a servant of his/her government in a foreign country. They are not free to set their own policies or develop their own message… in other words, they are people under authority. In the same way we are called to live under the authority of Yeshua Moshiach and the authority of the Scriptures. The world today is looking for holy people who live under the authority of the Word of YHVH. Unbelievers will not listen to what we say unless we back it up with the way we live. Be a faithful ambassador for Moshiach today in your home, workplace, on social media or among your friends.
