2 Corinthians 1:9-10

The old motto of soldiers during the Revolutionary War applies to many areas of life: "Trust in God, but keep your powder dry!"

In other words, place your life in the Saviour’s hands, but stay at the ready. Do all that you can to prepare yourself for battle, understanding that the ultimate outcome rests with the Lord God.

Michael Cochren, lead singer of Cochren & Co., talks about the need for accountability in the Christian music industry. 

"Deeply disturbing things have come into the light and some are questioning the integrity of our entire corner of the world," says Cochren on Instagram. "I do believe that these things being exposed serves as clear evidence that God is not done with Christian music. He prunes the trees that belong to him."

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
