God gives us all free choice, and we can either believe the truth or reject the truth. And if you believe the truth, it shall make you free!

• Free from the bondage and penalty of sin.

• Free from the grip sin and bad choices can have on you.

• Free from our own selfishness, to help and serve others.

• Free to experience a relationship with the God who created you.

• Free to enjoy the abundant life God has for all His children.

• Free to find your purpose, and the meaning and value of your life.

So what is this truth? Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” - John 14:6

We, the Church, just lost an amazing man of God to an assassin’s bullet : Charlie Kirk.

He was a man of convictions; loved God, loved the church, loved people, loved the truth, loved the youth.

He was a bold voice for truth, especially on college campuses. And not just political truth, but also the truth of Jesus Christ.

He shared the truth of Christ’s love and sacrifice many times, even right before he was killed.

But suffering persecution for your faith is expected if we are true followers of Jesus. There are different levels of persecution, but the more you live for Jesus, the more you share/promote the gospel and Biblical truth, the larger the target is on you.

Have you ever felt like you weren’t making the impact you hoped for in the life of a young person — whether as a step-parent, relative, mentor, or friend? The story of Mordecai in the book of Esther shows us that God often uses faithful, everyday influence to shape someone for a greater purpose.

Like Mordecai, we are called to put God first daily through prayer and Bible study, to love and guide others as if they were our own, and to see each relationship as a God-given opportunity to mold, encourage, and inspire. These moments are not just for their growth, but for ours as well. Remember, God is on your side — He is a father to the fatherless, working through you to accomplish His plans.

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you.” — Deuteronomy 31:8
