God loved us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His Son to save us. This is the central tenet of our Christian lives. Carlos Rivera reignites our Gospel passion with this beautiful truth – “He paid a debt He did not owe because I owed a debt I could not pay.”

Words hold immense power—they can build up or tear down, heal or hurt. For Christians, the emphasis on words is even greater because they reflect faith, convey love, and share the message of the Gospel. James 3:5-6 talks about the tongue being a small part of the body but capable of great impact, underscoring the responsibility that comes with speech.

Using words wisely means choosing kindness, truth, and encouragement, reflecting the love and teachings of Christ in everyday interactions. It's a call to be mindful of how words can shape, influence, and inspire others.

Fasting and praying for our nation is a powerful practice. It allows us to collectively seek guidance, healing, and blessings for our country. As we embark on this journey, let us focus our prayers on specific issues and areas that are important to us - whether it's the leaders, communities, struggles, or hopes of the nation. This is a chance to strengthen our faith and address the collective needs of our country.
