As believers, our job is clear: Honor and obey God, serve our neighbors, and study His Word to renew our minds. Jesus commanded us to love God fully, love others through service, and make disciples, as outlined in Matthew 22 and 28. Let’s embrace our gifts, ask the Holy Spirit for guidance, and boldly live out God’s way—starting with learning His Word today!

A Chick-fil-A worker’s simple, heartfelt question—“What is the Lord teaching you today?”—reminded me how easy it is to be a godly influence with a genuine smile and caring words. Small gestures like this can point others to God in profound ways, so why not try asking someone this week? Let’s share joy and encouragement—have a great, smiling week!

When asked, “What is the Gospel?” we often simplify it to God’s love, but the Gospel is much more! John 3:16 captures the essence, but it also implies the critical truths: Jesus, God's Son, came to save us, taught boldly, died for our sins, was resurrected, and will return to judge and reign.

The Gospel isn’t just a prayer—it’s a rich, all-encompassing gift of grace that requires full belief and obedience to Christ’s teachings. Let’s share the complete Gospel and understand the depth of God’s incredible love this week!
