Repentance | 6
Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and weeping, and mourning. Let your remorse tear at your hearts and not your garments.” Joel 2:12-13 There is a difference between calling out for help and calling out in...
Repentance |5
If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to Him, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a...
Repentance | 4: Paul, Athens, Greece, circa 50 AD
"So having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, because He has set a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all...
Repentance | 3: A Tale of Two Sinners
And Samuel said to Saul, “The Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.” 1 Samuel 15:28 Nearly a thousand years before the birth of Christ, two kings ruled over the nation of Israel. The...
Repentance | 2
I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. 2 Corinthians 7:9 Repentance, noun: a biblical concept; not just feeling sorry or changing one’s mind, but of a complete turning around; an alteration of the basic motivation and...
Repent | 1
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17 NKJV Jesus didn’t come preaching tolerance. He came preaching repentance. A Prayer of Repentance In The Morning: Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your...
Identified With Christ
Jesus: "Now I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before people, the Son of Man will also confess him before the Angels of God. But the one who denies Me before people will be denied before the Angels of God." Luke 12:8-9 NASB Expecting Jesus to acknowledge that He...
Consider The Ravens
Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no...
You Can Change Your Mind
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2 NASB By the power of Almighty God and through the transforming work of His...
The Battlefield Of The Mind
"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." Philippians 4:8 The mind is a battlefield: We are...
Inseparable
I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from the love Of God. Death can’t, and life can’t. The Angels won’t, and all the powers of Hell itself cannot keep God’s love away. Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow, or where we are, whether high above...
There Is Room For Us All At The Foot Of The Cross
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our...
To God Be The Glory
Oh, the depth of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments and untraceable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor? And who has ever given to God, that he should be repaid? For from Him...
One Bad Left Turn
And what is it that God has said? That He gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:11-12 Adapted Still putting off surrendering to Jesus Christ? Procrastinate...
One Bad Left Turn
Jesus: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6 Been putting off surrendering to Jesus Christ? Procrastinate not. You are just one bad left turn from eternity.
That None Should Perish
Paul: But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. …For I have not shunned to declare to you the...
That None Should Perish
The Lord is longsuffering toward us, unwilling that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 Adapted We are dispatched daily on the Great Commission to be a witness and a voice, where being a witness is the example of a life lived...
Binary Things
Every word of God proves true. He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. Do not add to His words or He will rebuke you, and you will be found a liar. Proverbs 30:5-6 Belief in the Word of God is binary. You either believe it lock, stock, and barrel. Or you do...
