The Cross And The Crown

Are You Willing?
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 16:24-25 NKJV In Jesus’...
A Question For Today
For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:16a NRSV What do you want to be doing the moment the shofar sounds Jesus's return? Defend The Truth. Live The Faith....

Change Up Your Spiritual Diet
Sabbath is a time to stop and focus on the big picture of life. On the most meaningful people and things in our lives. And, most importantly, on our relationship with God. One such focus is our consumption of the Word of God. Do you consume a...
No Half Measure
As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but it you forsake Him, He will...

Be
Be strong, but not rude. Be kind, but not weak. Be bold, but don't bully. Be humble, but not timid. Be confident, but not arrogant. h/t Nicky Gumbel.
Chivalry
What chivalry is not: some guy holding a door open for a woman. What chivalry is: a man of prowess and faith performing noble deeds and habitual acts of generosity and kindness. Which might include holding a door open for a woman.
Dwell, Then, On These Things

A Reflection On Character
Saturday was the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Our Saturday post was from Todd Beamer, one of heroes on Flight 93: "Are you guys ready? OK, let’s roll.” There is a particularly good article on Todd in this morning's Wall Street Journal. We encourage...

Words Heard Around The World
"Are you ready? Okay. Let's roll." Todd Beamer, ~ 10:01 AM, September 11, 2001

If You Are Not Dead
God's not done. Jesus sends us into each day with work to do, and our lives are immortal until our work is done. Life is what you make it. Make room for service. Ask the Lord what He wants you to do today, and do it with all your heart. It might be as simple as that...
