  1. Promises

    Comments Off on Promises
    Promises — a word by Pastor Steve McInroy from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "I’ve learned through God’s Word just how important it is to be a man of my word. Broken promises are basically lies."

    I’ve been convicted about God’s promises in the Bible. While there is no “official” count of the number of His promises to mankind, the most widely cited figure is 7,487. This comes from a meticulous study by a Canadian schoolteacher, Everett R. Storms. He spent one and a half years tallying them. This happened during his 27th reading of the Bible. Without a doubt, that’s a lot of promises.

  2. The Paths We Pave

    The Paths We Pave — a word by Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "First, we need to recognize that the paths we pave matter! No matter how small, every decision has a direction (and consequence)."

    Proverbs 5:21-23 gives us a sober reminder: “For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes.”

    Think about the truth of that verse for a second. Without a doubt, we live in a world where it’s all too easy to curate a perfect image on social media. An absolutely perfect outward appearance. In fact, we edit our feeds and filter our photos. Along with that, we keep a smile on our faces and make our lives look picture-perfect. It happens not only online but also in real life. But, even if we fool our followers and neighbors, God isn’t deceived. He sees everything. Because of this, no filter, highlight reel, or act we put on for others can hide the truth from Him. We’ve exposed our motivations, mistakes, and struggles to the One who examines every step we take.
