Bible Verse of the Day:
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling, 1 Peter 4:7-9.
Biblical Connection:
Tom Hansen meets up with the girl who dumped him to try to figure out what went wrong in their relationship. Unfortunately, the woman who he thought was his soulmate is now married, referring to the fate which brought she and her husband together. This is where facts meet the fiction that you were taught about relationships growing up.
First century Christians believed that Jesus was going to return in the form of the second coming in their lifetime. Subsequently, disciples like Peter lived each day hoping and praying that Jesus would return. When the event known as the Rapture didn’t occur, future generation of Christians lost this sense of urgency. Perhaps the apostle Paul wrote Philippians 2:12, calling Christians to work out their salvation with fear and trembling, sorting out facts from fiction with the Bible.
Closing Song:
When human beings realize that they have believed a lie, these ungodly beliefs from your past have a way of haunting you with regret. Yet, the sooner you test everything that you hear, read and see with the Bible, you’ll learn to cling to what is true and avoid being let down by cultural beliefs.
