Tell the Truth

by

Thomas Sowell, the brilliant economist and thinker, said, “If you want to help others, tell them the truth. If you want to help yourself, tell them what they want to hear.” This has great relevance in our walk as Christ-followers. If we want to help others, we will tell them the truth of Jesus. When someone slanders the Bible, we won’t sit idly by. We will stand and speak the truth.

Of course, this will put a target on our backs in today’s culture. So, if we’re afraid of that and we just want to get along, we’ll stay silent. We might even agree with the crowd because we will be more concerned with helping ourselves rather than others. May this never be true of us.

We Are Sick

by

Richard Foster once wrote, “Conforming to a sick society is to be sick”. Looking around the Church today, I have to say we are sick. Every day I read of another pastor or church caving to societal pressure. We are conforming to the world instead of conforming to the likeness of God’s Son. We are conforming to the very world the Apostle Paul told us to come out of (Romans 12:2).

Instead of renewing our minds with the truth of God’s Holy Word, we are saturating our hearts in man-made philosophies and opinions so we do not offend or risk persecution. Too many church leaders today are more concerned with the number of people attending their services than they are with the number of people being saved from an eternity apart from God. I can’t think of anything sicker than that.

Be Encouraged

by

This world will try to break you. Satan is using everything in his power to cripple you and bring you to your knees. But be encouraged! Jesus has overcome the enemy, and the Spirit of the living God resides in you. There is nothing this world or any of the evil in it can do to stop the mission of Jesus from being fulfilled, and you have a vital role to play.

The last command given to us by our Lord was to go and tell everyone about Him (Matthew 28:18-20). At that moment, He commissioned everyone who would believe in Him to be missionaries of His gospel. You don’t have to travel around the world to fulfill this mission. You can be a missionary in your workplace, neighborhood, and even your grocery store.

Peace In Prayer

by

I don’t know about you, but sometimes, in the midst of praying, I can get a bit discouraged. It seems there is no end to the dire prayer requests popping up on my phone and in my email. I can’t say for certain whether things are worse than they have ever been, but I can say we are more aware of the problems Christians are facing than at any other time in history.

It can be overwhelming until we remember to Whom it is we are praying. God is not overwhelmed. He is not caught off-guard by what is going on in the world. Best of all, He remains the answer to all the problems and heartaches. The world may change, but our God never does.
