Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
His Word
The Word of God takes our hands and lays them upon the breast of Christ and lets us feel how His heart beats toward us, even now as He sits at the right hand of God.
Living Under The Direction Of The Holy Spirit
Want to hear from the Holy Spirit? To make God-inspired, Biblical choices? To have the courage, comfort and perseverance to finish strong? Read your Bible. Every day. Study it. Learn to love it. Live by it. Listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit through the words...
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...
On Salvation
You are not God. God is God (Job 1-42). It takes less than 30 seconds to accept Jesus Christ as Lord of your life. So, if you believe, as we do, in the pre-tribulation Rapture, the clock is ticking.
God’s Love and Faithfulness; A Song For The Sabbath Day
Here the Psalmist praises God for being able to give thanks to Him (v. 1). He recognizes that doing so (like worship in general) is not a right but a privilege, granted not on the basis of the psalmist’s personal merit, but of God’s lovingkindness (Note 1) and...
Unoffered Prayer
The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer. F. B. Meyer (1847-1929)
Identified With Christ
"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and honored cornerstone, and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame." Isaiah 38:13 and Peter 2:6 HCSB The enemy has many agents in this world who chastise us, challenge our thinking, and charge us with shameful...
Faith
To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. It was by their faith that people of ancient times won God's approval. Hebrews 11:1 GNT Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. Genesis 15:6...
Providential Order; Equanimity /2
The attitude of a Christian toward the providential order in which he is placed is to recognize that God is behind it for purposes of His own. Adapted, Biblical Ethics, Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
The Divine Commandment of Life; Equanimity /1
…be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48 The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing, but in God-likeness. If the Holy Spirit has transformed you within, you will exhibit divine characteristics in your life, not just good...
Circumstances
Unbelief puts our circumstance between us and God. Faith puts God between us and our circumstances. Adapted, F. B. Meyer (1847-1929)
Job: But God
Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. Job 1:21 ESV Don’t let circumstances determine how you see God. Conform your circumstances to God, not God to your circumstances....
Questions Die Away
“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away." C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
The Privilege Of Age / Finish Strong
Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many. Seniors are working longer, living longer, retiring later, and even going back to work after they retire. For some, retirement begins a downhill path in terms of health, joy, impact, and mental...
Run The Race / Finish Strong
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1b ESV In our minds-eye we can imagine a picture of a long-distance runner struggling to cross the finish line. Perhaps they pulled a muscle or had a cramp or got dehydrated. It happens at every...
Borrowed Time / Finish Strong
Holy life-support Batman! I just realized I'm living on borrowed time. From The Sense Of Urgency Series #FinishStrong
Don’t Give The Enemy A Seat At Your Table
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 NLT The battlefield of the mind, a...
Cowards
We have posted this before. It bears repeating. The history of God’s people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives. Erwin McManus
