The Upside Down World, Week 2, Day 3

by David Joynt on September 19, 2017


 

MATTHEW 15:5-6

 

Inattention means truth never registers, penetrates, and roots in us. Opposition means that even truths planted can be and will be challenged. The vagaries of history and the circumstances of personal life will impact us. Disappointment or frustration or pain will enter our lives. Suddenly, our interest in God wanes or we find ourselves under pressure from a new atmosphere at college which dismisses faith, a new boyfriend who scoffs, a boss who denigrates. We get scorched, and our faith withers.

 

 

Have you experienced opposition?

 

 

How did it impact you?

 

FAMILY TIME—

Show your kids what happens to flowers with shallow roots.

Discuss the pressures we can come under as disciples.
