Tabletalk reading for today was Revelation 13:1-10 regarding what I think is the Antichrist (the beast) and his reign on the earth for 42 months or 3 1/2 years.
What stood out to me was the fact that the beast would speak blasphemies against God and everyone would accept it and follow him.
That doesn't seem real odd with blasphemy being so common today.
Lord, grant us patience as we live in a world that often does not honor You. Thank You for sealing us for all eternity with You. You have chosen us. Out of Your sovereignty we remain. While we reside on this earth, help us to be your ambassadors and to encourage those around us. We want to live in a way that honor's You and praises Your name. Keep me Lord focused on Your work in our lives. And praying for those that need You daily. Remove our pride and our confidence in our work. May we only have confidence in You and satisfaction living for You.
The Tabletalk passage focused on how the separation of church and state has been misapplied. It's true meaning is that the federal government may not establish a state church. But, it has come to mean that God and state must be separated.
Expressing our faith is not the same as separated church and state.
