This Week’s Thought: Many years ago, I decided to let the Scripture form my theology rather than squeeze the Scripture into the mold (frame) of my thoughts. I noticed that many preachers and books I read didn’t affirm God’s people. Instead, they were critical, even hostile. On the other hand, Paul and the apostles constantly affirmed God’s people, reflecting the Father’s heart for his church. They confirmed their identity – an identity so entangled with Jesus that you couldn’t pull the two apart. When the apostles corrected God’s people, it came from the perspective of who the church really was, not who they weren’t. I recently made these Ten affirmations from Ephesians 1:1-14 to help my daughter. But I also hope it helps you. Each time you say them, it’s like you’re watering the plant of your life. Speaking what the Father says and thinks about you will cause you to flourish. (Tap to open. Press to save. Pinch to zoom in and out.)
