 ðŸ•Š️ The Final Day of July 2025: A Time to Reflect and Reset

As the calendar flips its last page for July, a unique thought strikes:
It will be one hundred years before we see the digits 25 in a year again—2125 to be exact.

Pause on that for a moment.

It places this day—July 31, 2025—into perspective. A day like today will not return in your lifetime. It reminds us that time is not just passing; it’s precious. And how we end one month can shape how we begin the next.

Maybe July was a month of unexpected blessings, answered prayers, or long-awaited breakthroughs. If so, give God praise.

Or maybe July was a month where you just squeaked by—heavy with burdens, delays, setbacks, or simply survival. If so, don’t hang your head in defeat. The calendar is about to turn, and August 1 is on the horizon.

🌅 A New Month, A New Mindset

Scripture tells us in Isaiah 43:18–19:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up—do you not perceive it?”

Let the past stay in the past—not because it didn’t matter, but because it doesn’t have the authority to dictate your future. Whether you triumphed or toiled in July, you are not the sum of one month’s events. God is still writing your story.

August is an opportunity to begin again—with expectancy, courage, and clarity of purpose.

📖 What Can You Do?

  1. Reflect, but don’t rehearse the pain.
    Let God show you the lessons—then leave the burden behind.

  2. Refocus on what truly matters.
    Re-center your heart in His promises. Revisit your goals. Reignite your prayer life.

  3. Renew your trust in His timing.
    Just because it didn’t happen in July doesn’t mean it won’t in August.

💬 A Final Thought

You may not be able to change the past, but you can absolutely learn from it.
And growth begins not with striving, but with surrender.

As we step into August, let this be your declaration:
“I may not know what this month holds, but I know the One who holds it.”

Grace and peace,
🕊️ James Langston

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
