Corporate faith requires that we lay aside our individualism and join our brethren doing God's work.

We must not fear but stand firm and be still, watching the salvation of the Lord, actively exercising faith, while God makes short work out of our enemies.

We must remember that God is working not only in the world, but in our personal lives as well, training us to lead, act, and believe with conviction.

The Feast of Trumpets signifies a spiritual alarm, admonishing us to repent, reflect, and prepare for the Day of the Lord, a horrendous time of judgment.

While the truth of Christ has the power to elevate, our worldly orientation blinds us, dulls our minds, and pulls us downward to abject slavery to sin.
