Why Are You Following?
on November 28th, 2024
When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. (Matthew 8:1) Why are you really following Jesus? After the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus amassed a huge crowd. This huge crowd was made up of individuals who were following Christ for different reasons: 1. Some followed out of interest and curiosity. They just showed up because everyone was headed that way, and they were inte... Read More

Your Story Is Not Finished
on November 27th, 2024
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11) What a powerful verse! Even though Jeremiah’s message often dealt with judgement and destruction, he also relayed a message of hope for his people from heaven. That is what we all need…HOPE. To know that our story is not yet finished is a “ga... Read More

You Are an Evangelist
on November 26th, 2024
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! (Psalm 96:3) God's plan is that people will come to faith in Christ. I know you are very concerned about your family members and friends who don't know Christ. Because you are burdened for them, you are asking yourself questions like: “How will they hear the Gospel? Will they watch religious broadcasting on televis... Read More

Faith Begins Where Striving Ends
on November 24th, 2024
Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! – Psalm 46:10In our fast-paced lives, we often find ourselves striving for control, wrestling with uncertainty, and pushing through situations on our own strength. But God invites us to a different approach. Faith begins at the end of ourselves, at the moment when we realize we cannot achieve sa... Read More

Wait in Silence
on November 23rd, 2024
Be still and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10) We don't like silence and we don't do very well with silence. Have you noticed that we try to fill silence with activity? It is important for us to realize that there are times when we need to be quiet. This happens to many of us. When there is silence and God doesn't move, we do something. When in doubt, do something. Like Simon Peter, when th... Read More

God Can Defend Himself
on November 22nd, 2024
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) When we don't understand what God is doing, we try to explain why God would allow something to happen. Many of us think we have to answer all of the “nay-sayers.” We hear people say, “If God is a God of love, w... Read More

Blaming Others
on November 21st, 2024
And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?” The man said, “The woman you put here with me -- she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.” Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (Genesis 3:11-13) Being free of guilt comes from finding fr...

A Guilt-Free Life
on November 20th, 2024
Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. Your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down on me. Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin. My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. (Psalm 38:1-4) If you have ever felt guilty for something you have done, you know that this psalmi... Read More

Stand Firmly in Freedom
on November 19th, 2024
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1) Our personal development into emotional and spiritual health takes time; it does not come overnight. Children develop emotionally over time and eventually learn to think in abstract concepts. Before that day arrives, they are literal thinkers; rules a... Read More

Dependence Leads To Peace
on November 18th, 2024
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:7Scripture tells us that we are to be dependent on the God who gives peace. True peace is only found when we become God-dependent, not self-dependent. My mind can easily wander into dark places, and it doesn’t take much to trigger my anxiety, especially when I see situat...

Live Medium
on November 17th, 2024
So in Christ, we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. - Romans 12:5As members of the body of Christ, we are designed to be family to each other. Sometimes, the people we lean on the most aren’t our blood relatives but those from our church family—the ones who show up when we’re in need, who pray for us, who help us carry our burdens. In these moments, we experien... Read More
