If you listen to the news these days, it isn't difficult to discern the set of "talking points" that guests use to create the narrative they want to give. Sometimes there are reliable facts involved, and sometimes, it's just a way to "spin" a version of the truth.

It's important that the listener know the real truth in order to filter out the errors or lies being presented. The same is true with regard to spiritual teaching.

Have you ever heard someone say that the Christian life should be easy because God WANTS to give you an ideal marriage, good kids, a great job, financial riches, etc.? Some people think that when you follow Jesus, you shouldn't have any more difficulties. 

While it IS true that God enjoys giving good gifts to His children, we still live in a fallen, sinful world so sometimes we have to FIGHT to keep those good gifts.

In today's episode, Mark talks about how the nation of Israel had to FIGHT for the good gifts that God gave and what we can learn from their experience.   What good gift do YOU need to fight for?

Today we're going to do something a little different for Mondays with Mark. In light of the multiple tragedies we have experienced in our nation recently, we've written a 2-page response with some tangible steps you can take to encourage you in the midst of these difficult times.  

CLICK HERE to read it.

In addition, we would like to ask each of you to intentionally intercede in prayer on behalf of the victims of these recent attacks and their families. God's family is hurting, and we have the opportunity and obligation to support them in faithful, diligent prayer. Although we are not physically in one location as a body of Christ-followers, we can join in one voice to our Father in Heaven!  

Next week we will resume with our regular Mondays with Mark videos with a special Thanksgiving edition for you so be sure to watch for that!
