Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Crushed?
When we express God’s Truth, we depress the enemy’s lies. The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this: "I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive...
Following Jesus Christ
It costs to follow Jesus Christ. But it costs more not to.
Rejoice. Rejoice I Say.
"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV When we join in Sabbath worship, we are not worshiping based on the way our circumstances have played out. We're...
The Chicken Or The Egg?
Christians are not confused by the chicken or egg conundrum. We know God’s love came first. We do not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us. Adapted, C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)
Surrendered And Available
Just be available. You never know what God will do with a life that is surrendered. Darlene Zschech
Surrender /2
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. Romans 8:28 NLT #livethefaith
Surrender /1
When you find yourself in a quandary, don’t rely on your own devices. Remember the name of the Lord our God and trust in Him. "As long as we continue to trust in our own abilities and activities we shall avail nothing." D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899 - 1981) The Psalmist...
Emotional Intelligence (EI)*
The things you must always ask yourself before you say anything. Emotionally intelligent minds embrace this three question principle: 1. Does this need to be said? 2. Does this need to be said by me? 3. Does this need to be said by me now? And a fourth: If I don't say...
Survival
Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Winston Churchill, 1940 Without victory, there is no survival. This is true both in the war between good and evil, and in...
Lift Up Your Pastor
Ways to love your pastor before church: 1. Pray for his heart. 2. Pray for your heart. 3. Resolve to come hungry. 4. Resolve to leave full.
An Extension Of Forgiveness
My job isn’t to fix another person or make them see my side of things during a conflict. Even when I feel justified to be mean, I have an opportunity to obey God by offering an extension of the forgiveness I’ve been given. Selah
Second Chances
It comes down to God’s grace and mercy. Grace gives us blessings we don’t deserve. Mercy withholds judgment we do deserve. The list of people in the Bible who experienced grace and mercy is long and noteworthy. Moses the murderer got a second chance, as did David the...
Jesus At The Center Of It All
Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing to die a shameful death on the cross because of the joy He knew would be His afterwards, and now He is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 TLB, KJV Jesus appears at the most...
First Things
Ever wonder what God's first thought is when we pray about our problems? I think God says: "Let Me worry about all these other things. Let's first talk about your soul."
Eyes, Heart, Mind, Soul
Pray to have eyes that see the best, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad, and a soul that never loses faith. @nickygumbel
Beware The Guzzintas; Making Disciples Not Believers
Then, calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the...
