In the book of Isaiah, God spoke of “a tenth”—a holy remnant of people who would remain faithful to God. Today, even through perilous times, there will be a remnant of God’s followers. Gary Wilkerson encourages Christians to remain steadfast as part of this group of faithful believers.
In the book of Isaiah, God sent a messenger to an unhearing culture. Even in a world that won't listen, Christians need to speak out. God can do great things in difficult times.
As American society slips away from its moral grounding, we may be tempted to give up hope. Christians can take heart because God’s word still stands.
God’s faithfulness is constant and unchanging. Even when we struggle to understand our circumstances, God’s faithfulness endures. God is true to his promises, so we have every reason to trust in him.

Have you ever taken a moment to really consider what God’s graciousness means? Even though we are part of God’s creation, we still choose to rebel against him. While we were in that broken, rebellious state, God chose to offer us redemption. That level of grace is almost impossible to comprehend.
God’s goodness means that, if you love him, he is always on your side. No circumstance, trial or tribulation could change that. God is deeply, totally good, and he will work things out accordingly in the end.
All of God’s attributes are essential to who he is, but scripture seems to place a special emphasis on the fact that he is loving. God’s all-encompassing love is one of the ways that he makes himself known to us.
