🎧 My Favorite BibleBreakdown Episode This Week>>>
📚 Scripture. 💪
(Job 2:8-10) Job scraped his skin with a piece of broken pottery as he sat among the ashes. His wife said to him, “Are you still trying to maintain your integrity? Curse God and die.” But Job replied, “You talk like a foolish woman. Should we accept only good things from the hand of God and never anything bad?” So in all this, Job said nothing wrong.
Observation: The book of Job is both so sad and so powerful. On one hand, Job goes through terrible tragedy and loss. Then, he has friends who unintentionally make it worse. On the other hand, Job’s trust in God is awe-inspiring. Even when faced with physical illness and his wife telling him to give up, Job will not be unfaithful to the Lord. He also asks his wife a probing question that is good for us to grapple with. We are more than welcome to accept good gifts from the Lord and trust Him in all things. Should we not also trust Him when the days are not so good? Is our trust really that fragile? If we can trust God with our eternal salvation and the mystery of what happens after we die, can we not also trust Him to help us through our problems at work? Can we not also trust Him with those medical bills? Is it worth thinking about?
Application: Give God the same benefit of the doubt you would give your best friend. He’s more than earned it.
Prayer: Thank You for being more than trustworthy.

📚 Book. The Gospel-Driven Church. (Click Here to See My Review)
Many evangelical churches face the problem of the open "back door"--even as new people arrive, older members are leaving, looking for something else. Combined with this problem is the discipleship deficit, the brutal truth that most evangelicals are not reaching the unchurched at the rates they think they are. In fact, many of the metrics that we often "count" in the church to highlight success really don't tell us the whole story of a church's spiritual state. Things like attendance, decisions, dollars, and experiences can tell us something about a church, but not everything.

For some people, God is an old man with a beard sitting on a throne out in space somewhere. If that’s the kind of God they don’t believe in, then I agree with them. – Greg Koukl
