Purpose or Plagiarism
How often do we try to imitate someone else in order to ‘measure up’? The world teaches us to think that if we were more like that other person, we would be more significant. But God’s Word says just the opposite!
The Opposite of Heaven
Do you avoid thinking or talking about Hell? Why? Is it simply too unpleasant and distasteful? Or is it out of a hidden or repressed fear? Let’s look into that.
Our Greatest Motivation
Realizing that God knows the thoughts and intentions of our hearts should motivate us to live our lives in a way that pleases God.
A Profound Transition
Salvation is an incredible transition point, and the moment we put our faith in Jesus, a significant change occurs. Life in Christ starts the very moment you trust Him as Savior.
You Are God's Co-Worker
A co-worker who watches out for your best interests and extends grace and forgiveness when wrong is done is an incredible co-worker to work alongside. Today is a good day to work with the best co-worker you will ever have—that’s God!
Moles in the Yard
“Moles” in the mind take us to shame, anxiety, the sad and the mad—and away from the nourishing presence of Jesus. Let’s use our spiritual weapons that Christ gave us and fight back.
God's Protection Takes Action
Our role is not passive in receiving God’s protection. God requires us to be active participants in the spiritual defense that He has provided for us.
You Are A Minister of Reconciliation
As God’s children, we are entrusted with the significant ministry of reconciliation, and the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ is the story of enemies being reconciled.
Seeking the Forgiveness of Others
Our purpose in seeking forgiveness from others is not to get them to own up to their offense but to assume responsibility for our sin.
Sin Is Not Your Master
We are no longer slaves to sin, because we are alive in Christ and dead to sin. This we cannot do for ourselves; however, Christ has already done it for us.
What Does It Mean to be the Temple of God?
Our culture has taken this concept of being God’s temple and skewed it toward the individual with a focus on self-care. God has selected you in Christ to be a piece of the larger building—His temple. And that building has the purpose of pointing people to Him, not to oneself.
Ignorance is Not Bliss
People are not in bondage to past traumas—they are in bondage to the lies they believed as a result of the trauma. But if f we don’t know the truth, how can the truth set us free?
Overcoming Helplessness
Helplessness is overcome through the power of God and by believing His truth.
Throw Insecurities to the Wayside
Do your insecurities ever get in the way of you obeying the Lord? Maybe you have a fear rejection or don’t know what to say. As personal witnesses of Christ, we have the opportunity—with the help of the Holy Spirit—to make an eternal impact on those we’re doing life with. Don’t miss out!
Do You Want to be Significant?
The drive to feel significant is in every one of us. And it should be—as we were created from the beginning to play a significant role in God’s story. However, it’s easy to experience shame and guilt when we feel like we don’t measure up. But do not be distracted be these emotions; you have been chosen for a purpose.
Delight in the Lord
Delighting in what the world offers will only temporarily satisfy you and will sicken your heart even more. But if you delight in the Lord, your desires will change and you will know satisfaction because of Him.
Responsible Strength in Challenging Times
Our goal is that the Lord will strengthen our convictions surrounding the truth of Jesus Christ, so that we place Him first and work on behalf of others so they may know Him. This is not always easy, but it is responsible and just.
Peace & Stability in Christ
Has your confidence in God been shaken by this election? Or, for that matter, by any circumstance in our world this past year? If so, take a look at what you truly believe about God’s character and what He says about how we can have peace and stability of mind even in the context of external circumstances beyond our control.
