Sunday Scripture

Greetings my friends. It is Sunday February 01ST 2026, and this is the day that our LORD has made. Let us rejoice. Let us be glad in it. Let us celebrate this great new day of believing, following, trusting, loving, and being more like our Lord + Savior Jesus Christ. Let us love our neighbor as ourself.

Today is the coldest Sunday morning of my 19-years of driving to my church body. We’re in the mid-20s (Fahrenheit) this morning with wind chills in the mid-teens. When our church gathering ends at 11:30 AM today – we may reach the 40° mark. That sounds normal for practically anywhere in North America – aside from South Central Florida where I live !

It’s also Communion Sunday at my home church. I’ll be leading Communion right after 4 songs of Praise + Worship. By the way – we broadcast our entire Sunday morning church service from start to finish on our YouTube page. Our services start at 10:30 AM U.S. East Coast time, and they usually run to just past 11:30 AM. (They are also available on demand after airing.)

My Communion today is based on Acts 26:13-18, Romans 10:13,15, and: “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” (Mark 16:15)

I’ve been asked about politics being preached. I don’t do it. My first Pastor of 8 years pretty much avoided it. My second Pastor of 9 years did it a bit too much, and it alienated members of the church. Whether it was overt or less obvious – it made some of us uncomfortable even if there was just a hint of political views sprinkled into the sermon. My current Pastor avoids it, and I appreciate that.

As a general rule I don’t discuss politics with anyone. I don’t wish to know what anyone’s political views are – even if I may agree with them. I don’t want to know anyone’s thoughts about any politician. Politics divides. Politics ends friendships and relationships. Politics can get you hurt or worse.

I believe that – as a Pastor or a Preacher or an Evangelist from the pulpit or the altar or from behind a keyboard – if you’re talking or writing about politics – then you’re not talking or writing about God. I’m a Preacher of God’s Good News.

My testimony is featured each week here on #SundayScripture – whether it’s part of a sermon, a testimony, or just me writing about the events of the past week. Hopefully it encourages you and inspires you to seek the Lord – and get closer to Him with each new day.

If you wish to learn more about the God I know – then stay tuned to #SundayScripture. The best is yet to come !

Thank you for reading my blog for this day, and may:

The LORD bless you, and keep you.
The LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
