What I’m addressing here isn’t beer, smoking, or clubs, because externals don’t save people; Jesus does. I’m addressing the fact that Kid Rock said he didn’t get saved. Just so there’s no taking what he said out of context, he followed it up by saying he feels like he’s always been right with God.

I’m not implying that COVID began some invisible clock ticking or that it marks an identifiable point prophetically. What I’m saying is that somewhere along the line, as the world navigated the pandemic, it became clear that this world isn’t returning to what we consider normal.

If Satan had a resume, it would consist of three words: Steal, Kill, and Destroy. He destroys everything, including families, marriages, ministries, testimonies, lives, and souls. The problem is that, as people, we think we can manage our sins, like we can have them under control, instead of them controlling us.

I’m simply jealous for the rightful place of ‘church’ and ‘fellowship’ in Christian life because many are becoming social hubs, not places of prayer, evangelism, and discipleship.

When a believer understands the brevity and foolishness of this world compared to the one to come, holy living flourishes.

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.” Saul saved the valuable spoil and destroyed only what was judged worthless by their “good sense”. God has judged it worthless, Saul did not think so.
