2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, 2022 is here! It is time to make all things new. Most people would agree that 2021 was much like 2020. Both were very unpleasant years. In 2021, in the United States alone, the year was mostly defined by the Coronavirus pandemic and the Delta and Omicron variants. The United States reported more than 5 million COVID-19 cases. In addition, there were more than 160,000 deaths. This generation has witnessed things in 2021 that no other generation before us has ever seen. It is only by the grace of God that we are still here.
Let’s not enter 2022 with the same old 2021 attitude. Make 2022 the year of new beginnings. Shake off the old and put on the new. Let go of the pain, anxiety, and depression of last year.
The scripture says, “…if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” Through Him, we have received grace (Romans 1:5), through whom also we have access to God by faith into this grace (Romans 5:2). When Christ rose from the dead, He became a new creation. That was the dawning of a new beginning for everyone who believes in Him.
Make all things new in 2022 by renewing your mind. The Bible says you are renewed by transforming your mind (Romans 12:2). Don’t just say it’s a new year and expect your life to turn around. You have to purposely work at making all things new. You can change the way you think by changing the way you talk because your words have the power to transform your life.
Start the New Year with grace. Remember, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

There was a famine in the land of Israel. A certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, named Elimelech, took his wife Naomi, and his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, to dwell in Moab to escape the famine. While they were in Moab, Naomi’s husband, Elimelech died. After his death, Naomi’s sons took wives of the women of Moab; the name of one was Orpah, and the name of the other was Ruth. They lived in Moab for about ten years. But then Mahlon and Chilion died. Naomi and her two daughters-in-law were now widows in a foreign land. They were alone, their husbands were dead, and they had no income. believing-faith.com/our-faithful-god-trust-his-love-he-will-provide/

Many times, we allow life’s struggles to overwhelm us. When this happens, we find all sorts of reasons to condemn ourselves. Self-condemnation seduces us to extrapolate that God is trying to teach us something with pain and suffering. This could never be further from the truth of who God is. God forgives you and He promised to never again condemn you….

Jesus said, "According to your faith let it be to you." Do you feel that God does not answer your prayers? When you pray for something specific and it does not come to pass, do you make false accusations against God, accusing Him of things He did not do? Do you rationalize your unanswered prayers, saying things like, "God doesn’t always give us what we want," and "I guess God didn’t want me to have it?" That’s not what the Bible says….

Same-sex Marriage The Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage in the U.S. has many Christians in an uproar. Same-sex marriage has been at the forefront of the Christian fight since 1971 when the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled “the institution of marriage as a union of man and woman uniquely involving the procreating and rearing of children within the family is as old as the book of Genesis.” The issue of same-sex marriage has put Christian conduct under the spotlight….
