The New Testament is such a wonderful set of scriptures that the lord has blessed us with. As I read though the four gospels this week and discussed the principles discovered there, I have found a that I have gained an even greater faith in my Lord and Savior. He loves all of us and desire that we are able to return to him. This is a task that sometimes feel daunting, or impossible, but as we learn from Matthew 19:26 "....With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." If we place our faith in the Lord, we will be able to accomplish anything He asks of us, but if we desire to place our faith in man, we will not be able to make it back to the presence of the Lord. I find this principle especially important today in our time because we face an age where there are so many men claiming to be supreme and desiring for us to follow them. Our nation is in a state of turmoil and distress. If only we as a nation could place our faith back on the Lord instead of men, we could see mighty miracle come forth as the lord would deliver us from our bondage and strife. But unfortunately, we see more and more that God is being removed from the picture. So we as saints must strive to do all we can to put our faith in the Lord and I know that if he desires us to be a force for good, it will happen.
