From the Heart of Brother Jesse - Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - Turning Away from Ungodliness

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

In our continued reflection on 2 Chronicles 15, we see a stark warning about the consequences of turning away from God. Azariah reminded King Asa that Israel had suffered greatly because they had forsaken the true God. “For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the law to instruct them” (2 Chronicles 15:3, NLT). This spiritual neglect led to chaos and turmoil, both individually and collectively.

Today, we see similar consequences in our society. When we turn away from God and His commandments, we invite disorder and despair into our lives. The recent tragic events in Chicago, with the surge in violence over the 4th of July weekend, are a painful reminder of what happens when communities forsake godly principles. Our nation is in dire need of spiritual renewal and a return to God’s ways.

Let us take this message to heart and examine our own lives. Are there areas where we have strayed from God’s path? Are there ways in which we need to return to Him? By turning back to God, we can find the peace and stability that only He can provide. Let us pray for our nation and our communities, that we may all seek to follow God more closely and bring about positive change.

May the Lord guide us and keep us on His righteous path.

Yours in Christ,
Brother Jesse
