Usually, it doesn’t begin with one huge decision.
\nIt begins quietly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A thought we entertain.
\nA compromise we justify.
\nA truth we don’t want to hear.
\nA little more comfort.
\nA little more self-interest.<\/p>\n

Until eventually, something that began in the heart<\/strong> starts changing the way we live.<\/p>\n

After celebrating our 300th episode from Honduras, we’re back in the Book of Micah<\/strong> for RIOT Podcast Episode 301 and Micah Chapter 2 gets uncomfortable fast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

God exposes greed, injustice, abuse of influence, resistance to truth, and false teachers who were willing to tell people exactly what they wanted to hear.<\/p>\n

And it raises a question we probably all need to wrestle with:
\nWhen God’s Word confronts something in me, do I allow the Word to change me or do I look for a version of Christianity that allows me to remain unchanged?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s where spiritual drift becomes dangerous.<\/p>\n

Because sin may be personal, but its consequences are rarely private. Eventually, what happens in our hearts begins affecting our marriages, families, churches, communities, and the people coming behind us.<\/p>\n

But Micah 2 doesn’t end there.
\nAfter all the warnings, God gives His people hope.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He promises to gather them like a Shepherd and speaks of “The One Who Breaks Open the Way”<\/strong> who will go before His people.<\/p>\n

Judgment isn’t God’s final word.<\/p>\n

Restoration is still His desire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ask yourself:
\nWhat is shaping my heart today and am I still listening to the voice of the Shepherd?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
