What Now 2 Do

Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?

Discovery

When you discover who Jesus is, you will discover who you are. Dr. Tony Evans

The Great Commission

Christ's last instruction to the Apostles, and by extension to us, was "Go forth. Evangelize, even unto the ends of the earth." What does that look like? Good evangelism goes something like this: Be faithful, show up, know God's story, know your story, yield to the...

A Fervent Prayer For The Morning

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has...

No Greater Service

Today is Veterans Day. We encourage you to pause, pray, and pay tribute to the countless veterans who have sacrificed so much for our freedom. These courageous men and women have faithfully served their country and fellow brothers and sisters. And in the highest sense...

In God’s Service

Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Three days ago marked the birthdate of Billy Graham, one of America's greatest evangelists. These facts are connected because Graham demonstrated his "desire to minister to our troops by my prayers and spiritual help wherever I can." During...

The Senility Prayer

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.

The Serenity Prayer

We love this prayer. It has been widely quoted and used, including by Hallmark cards and Alcoholics Anonymous. There is some fuss about its attribution, and about the "original" version. It is generally concluded that Reinhold Neibuhr (1892 - 1971) was the originator....

This Is Not A Post About Fasting

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with...

Faith

A woman who had heard about Jesus came and fell at His feet. Her little girl was possessed by an evil spirit, and she begged Him to cast out the demon from her daughter. Since the woman was a despised Gentile, born in Syrian Phoenicia, Jesus told her, “First I should...

A Word For Today

When a team begins losing to their opponent, most coaches call for a time-out. Rather than leave their team on the field facing discouragement and distraction, the time-out serves to remind them of their strengths and refocus them on their strategies. During times of...

Forgiveness Is Not

Forgiveness is not pretending like it didn’t happen or like it didn’t hurt. That’s called lying. Forgiveness is a decision to release a debt regardless of how you feel. @drtonyevans

Joy In Every Situation. Say What?

Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. James 1:2-4...

On Joy

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Yeshua. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Paraphrased The Fruit of The Spirit includes joy. Joy is the serious business of heaven (Note 1). Whenever...

Discipline

Discipline will take you to places where motivation can not.

Wealth

Physical and mental health are the purest form of wealth.

In All Things

“Should we accept only good from God and not adversity?” Throughout all this Job did not sin in what he said. Job 2:10b CSB We don’t worship God because things are good or otherwise. We worship Him because of His sovereign oversight and care for our life. Even in...

The Providence Of God

All things have an eternal purpose. Even hard and painful things. Healing will come. On earth. Or in Heaven.
