John the Baptist and Jesus are both portrayed as messengers sent on assignment by God. John's role was to prepare people for Jesus, while Jesus came as the messenger of the New Covenant. Malachi's prophecy points to both of Christ's comings: His first coming in peace as the Lamb, and His second coming in judgment as the Lion. In that future judgment, He will purify His people and judge evildoers, just as Malachi and Revelation describe. Those who truly fear God show they belong to Him, and their lives will not be marked by the sinful deeds named in these warnings.

As entrepreneurs, it is very tempting to see a need and start something to fill that need. We have no shortage of money-making ideas or desires to start new ministries to fix various societal ills. However, we need to execute a lot of self-control in this area because great ideas will break our focus and cause us to fail at what God has really called us to do. It may be hard, but we need to say no to every great idea outside of our calling.

Salvation is not earned by our good works or right behavior but is a gift from God received through faith in Jesus Christ. While behavior does not determine salvation, genuine salvation produces transformation, freeing us from the power of sin and leading us into a new life of righteousness. True believers don't use grace as an excuse to keep sinning; rather, they live in a way that reflects their new identity in Christ. Persisting in a lifestyle of sin shows a lack of a genuine relationship with God, while practicing righteousness demonstrates the evidence of being children of God. Salvation is by grace through faith, but authentic faith results in a changed life that honors God.

Our society is obsessed with credibility and credentials. If you are a chef, they want to know what culinary school you went to. If you're a business coach, they want to know what successful business you have personally made a million dollars from. If you say you are starting a ministry, people want to know what theology school you got your ministry degree from. These questions are basically trying to judge or challenge your credibility. However, the only credibility you need is simply these two words: "God said." Listen to today's Daily Word and learn more about this concept.

Some Christians believe that seeking and having money will keep you out of the Kingdom of God. They hold this belief, because in the Bible Jesus told a rich, young ruler to sell all he had and give it to poor, and then he could have eternal life. Based on this Bible passage, many have drawn a negative connection between having money and entering the Kingdom of God. So is this true? Well, in today's message, we examine this concept through the Word of God to make a determination.

For many believers, lack of financial stability is a hindrance to the calling God has given them. It is not a hindrance because God can't use us if we are in lack. However, in many cases, financial lack causes us to focus our time and creativity inwardly instead of outwardly. An inward-focused mind is in the wrong position to hear God for the fullness of the vision. Therefore, in the Bible, we see many times how God provides for people's personal financial needs first, and then they step into a major area of their vision.

We carefully examine what the Bible teaches about divorce and remarriage. We address common misunderstandings, showing that while adultery is a serious sin that can prevent someone from inheriting the kingdom of God, the Bible does not teach that all divorce and remarriage result in adultery. In the Old Covenant, divorce and remarriage were allowed, and Jesus' teachings correct the misuse of divorce by exposing the sinful motives behind wrongful divorces motivated by lust and selfishness. We explore Paul's writings, which emphasize that while God's desire is for marriages to remain intact, there are circumstances, including abandonment by an unbelieving spouse, where divorce and remarriage is permissible. This message encourages us to develop a biblically sound conviction on the heart of marriage, not seek a list of rules for breaking a marriage.

When praying for marriage restoration after separation or divorce, begin by asking if it's God's will—don't stand in faith without His direction. Consider if your ex-spouse is available or entangled in another relationship, and ask God if their absence is actually His protection. Be prepared for others not to support your decision to believe for restoration, and commit to the journey regardless of the outcome. Focus less on changing your ex and more on becoming someone they could return to. Forgive fully, and pray for their spiritual growth—not just the return of the marriage, but true healing and transformation.
