“Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, the offspring of David, as preached in my gospel.” — 2 Timothy 2:8
The world seeks to make us forget God, but those who hold fast to Christ, who keep His name burning in their hearts, will stand while all else fades. —D.

The aim of the enemy is not just to wound, but to unmake. He twists Christ’s promise—Behold, I make all things new—into its foul twin. Not change, but ruin. Not healing, but breaking. He would have us stripped of all that makes us human, hollowed out, bent to his will, made into tools that serve for a time, then cast aside without a second thought. The world is his forge, its fire burning away the memory of God. And slowly, that forgetting seeps into the bones.
But those who hold fast to the memory of God, those who cling to the cross in the storm—these are the ones who walk the still path, the hidden way through the flood. The world shouts, blinds, numbs. It hammers and breaks, never resting, always pulling men toward the abyss. And so the fight is this: to remember. To set the mind on Christ when all else fades. When the noise rises, when the world tightens its grip, we must say, O Lord, this world is passing, but Your Kingdom stands forever. Remember me when You come into Your Kingdom!
We must wake. See the enemy’s hand for what it is. The only shield that holds, the only ground that does not give way, is the heart turned to Christ, the mind kept sober and sharp. This world will pass like smoke, but the Word of God will not fade. The ones who remember, who keep His name burning in their hearts, will stand while the world buckles and falls. As He has said: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me… In the world you will have hardship; but take heart, I have overcome the world.” (John 14:1, 16:33)
