Don't ever underestimate how God might use you and your invitation to somebody. Or maybe just some casual way that you can talk to them about the wonderful message of Jesus.
Who Christ is really matters for us. It makes an eternal difference for us. Your Lord does not want you or me to be duped into believing the wrong thing about him. And about who he really is.
I think the most challenging time for Noah and his family would have been seven days before the rain started. We're told they went into the ark and sat there and there was no rain for one week.
This Canaanite would not even let Jesus, the Son of God Himself, dissuade her from believing in Him. Lord grant that our faith in Christ be similarly strong.
God has granted you heaven as an inheritance. It's a free gift, from him to you. God tells us we can thank him by serving those around us.

"The church may shrink to a faithful remnant, but the church of Jesus Christ cannot be overcome by the gates of hell, much less by a culture."
Peter said “Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Just think what that means. The Word you're giving us is the very thing that will take us out of our grave someday so that we can live forever in the mansions above in heaven.
Am I really forgiven of all my sins because of what Jesus has done? Is my body really going to rise again from the dead? Is there really a heaven waiting for me after this life? God has given us very sure promises.
We live in a world that is hostile to the Christian faith and there are real forces out there that try to destroy our faith in Christ. That's why St. Paul encourages us to walk like an Acrobat.
The key to managing all the things we can have in this life is to have them without possessing them. In other words to have them and use them and manage them, but don't let them take over our hearts to control our hearts and our lives.
How timid is your trust? Do you ever question God's promises? Today we learn from Peter's example as he walks on water with Jesus.
