Today's devotion: Galatians 3
Living by Faith
A constitution is a legal document that provides a framework of laws and guidelines on how to live out your vision and aspiration as a nation or organization. But we know that a constitution cannot change the character and morals of people. It can only provide boundaries of operation. The law in the Old Testament provided a framework to operate in but was not sufficient enough to change people. Christ fulfilled the law, so that those who believe in him get justified. This is Paul's thesis in today’s devotion.
Have a faith driven day

Have you ever pondered the intricate tapestry of polygamy within the biblical narrative? It's a topic that can provoke deep thought and animated discussion. Consider the fascinating narrative of David and Saul's wives. In the book of 2 Samuel, the Lord God of Israel, who anointed David king and delivered him from Saul, is recorded as having gifted David with Saul's house and wives. This divine sanction raises an intriguing question. If God, who is sinless and unchanging, was content with David having multiple wives, could polygamy be considered acceptable in certain circumstances? Yet, the Bible is not a monolith of unified perspectives. It is a rich and complex anthology of diverse faiths and beliefs, which sometimes leads to perceived contradictions. As the book of Romans suggests, it is crucial to read and study the Bible personally, seeking understanding and guidance directly from God. The truth can indeed set us free from the bondage of falsehood and deception. Embracing God's truth can lead to a transformative freedom, aligning our lives with God's will. Truth can be challenging to accept as demonstrated by the life of Jesus. Despite his divine wisdom, many refuse to listen or believe in him. This led to the ultimate sacrifice, his crucifixion, a vivid symbol of humanity's struggle with accepting uncomfortable truths. Our ministry is deeply rooted in faith.
We stand firm in our beliefs, and our goals reflect our commitment to serve humanity in line with biblical principles. We aim to establish homeless shelters across the United States, where over half a million people live without a home. We advocate for the return of Bible classes in schools, believing that spiritual education can help curb school shootings. We strive to end abortion, support prison ministry, and establish youth outreach programs. Our mission extends to substance abuse rehabilitation, support for families in crisis, international aid and relief efforts, and community development and empowerment.
We also advocate for human rights and social justice. In conclusion, the Bible's stance on polygamy is a topic steeped in complexity, requiring careful study and personal discernment. The story of David and Saul's wives serves as an example of divine approval of polygamy in a specific context. However, the diverse perspectives within the Bible necessitate personal study and understanding. Above all, we believe in serving humanity, taking a stand for what we believe in, and striving to align our actions with God's will.

Romans 8:26 is a verse from the New Testament in the Bible. It reads as follows in the New International Version (NIV):
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans."
This verse is part of a larger passage in the book of Romans that discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.
In this specific verse, Paul, the author of Romans, is emphasizing that when we are weak or uncertain about what to pray for, the Holy Spirit assists us. The Spirit communicates with God on our behalf, even when we can't express our needs in words.
The Holy Spirit is a helper and advocate for Christians in their relationship with God.
