The Gate — J Calaway — Make Today Count -- Always Please God

MAKE TODAY COUNT LIVE | ONE AUDIENCE

“When you live to please God, you'll never need a government to play God.”

Key Truths

•  There's only room for one audience in your life. (Gal. 1:10)

•  Faith is what pleases God: trusting Him as your Source. (Heb. 11:6)

•  No system, leader, or government gets the place only God holds. (Ex. 20:3)

Leadership Realities

•  Communism, rooted in Marx, is openly atheistic; where it ruled, churches were shut and the state took God's place.

•  Socialism in its Marxist roots makes government the provider, protector, and planner of life.

•  Governments have a role (Rom. 13), but they were never designed to be your source. (Ps. 146:3)

Present-Tense Challenges

•  Where am I looking sideways for provision instead of up?

•  Whose approval am I chasing today?

•  Dependent on a system, or devoted to God?

Action Steps

1. Name one thing you've been treating as your source.

2. Say out loud: “God, You are my Source. I live to please You today.”

3. Do one thing today you'd only do if you truly believed He'd provide.

4. Seek His kingdom first in one decision today. (Matt. 6:33)

Scriptures (NIV): Galatians 1:10 • Hebrews 11:6 • Exodus 20:3 • Psalm 146:3 • Matthew 6:33

You're better than yesterday, but not near as good as tomorrow. So make today count.
