Listen "It Is What It Is | Week 3 | Distractions"
Episode Synopsis
Last week we considered the biblical principle of Personal Responsibility to Others. This week, we will consider TWO major distractions from God’s primary mission for the Church. The first comes from within Christendom and is a “religious” distraction and the second comes from within our culture at large and is a “secular’ distraction which has to do with how we view others.
“It is what it is” – A phrase used countless times in our society by ourselves and others to express frustration or resignation with a situation that seems overwhelmingly unchangeable. “But it doesn’t have to be” – This phrase recognizes the truth of “life under the sun,” that many times things are outside of our control, BUT we have a secret weapon – an ability to set our mind on things above while we live on earth below. This heavenly perspective, this divine perspective, allows us to respond to life on earth in a way that honors and glorifies God.
