🌤 In Three Words: It Goes On

Saturday Reflection – July 19, 2025
By James Langston

A long time ago, I heard a quote that’s never quite left me.
I believe it was from poet Robert Frost:

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

It struck me as both simple and profound. Life doesn’t wait for us to figure it all out. It doesn’t pause for our questions, or halt for our hurts. It just keeps moving, with or without our permission. And sometimes, that reality is more comforting than we realize.

In a world filled with uncertainty, shifting values, political posturing, and relentless chaos, these three words carry a quiet strength:
“It goes on.”

⏳ Life Doesn’t Stop—But Neither Does God

Today, July 19, 2025, I want to encourage you—whether you’re thriving or barely holding on.

You may have endured a hard week.
You may be battling grief, discouragement, or confusion.
You may even feel like giving up.

But here’s the good news: Life is still moving forward.
And even better—God is still on the move with you.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
(Psalm 34:18)

Just as time continues, so does grace.
So does healing.
So does hope.

🙏 This Could Be the Best Saturday of Your Life

I pray that today—this very Saturday—brings you something fresh:

  • A conversation that revives your spirit

  • A reminder that you're not forgotten

  • A moment of clarity or laughter you didn’t see coming

  • A small breakthrough in an ongoing battle

Life may not always make sense, but God’s hand is steady, even when ours tremble. Don’t underestimate what He can do in a single day. Even a quiet one.

So pause. Breathe. Reflect.
You’ve made it this far—not by accident, but by grace.

📖 Take These Words With You Today

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,
“plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”
(Jeremiah 29:11)

Even when the world feels uncertain…
Life goes on.
And God goes with you.

  🕊️ 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 ...
