Power, Love, And A Sound Mind

Fear is loud right now, but it doesn’t have to be in charge.We open Scripture to Malachi and face a difficult situation; God is confronting careless leadership. But not to crush his people, rather to restore life and peace. The language is strong, the warning is clear, and the purpose is love.From there we see Paul’s reminder of power, love, and a sound mind.  These help us see God in the noise rather than be shaped by it.We walk through Malachi 2:1–9, where priests drift from reverence into routine, and consider how influence works today; many pastors, parents, and creators “guard knowledge” with their words and example. We talk about integrity in speech, equity in action, and why spiritual negligence causes others to stumble.Then we turn to Malachi 3:5–6, where God’s justice lands against exploitation of workers, widows, orphans, and strangers. Justice isn’t a trend; it’s at the heart of biblical faith. Mercy becomes concrete in fair pay, protection for the vulnerable, and kindness to those who can’t repay us.Threaded through every moment is a stabilizing anchor; “I am the Lord, I change not.” God’s unchanging character cuts through the churn of headlines and social feeds.We share simple ways to refocus through prayer, scripture, worshipful music, and small daily acts of service that grow courage without noise. If you’ve felt shaken by fear or let down by leaders, this conversation offers clarity and a path forward. Repent where needed, rebuild trust with truth, and serve with steady love.If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs calm courage today, and leave a review to help others find the show.
