The Grace of God

by

The grace of God is a curious thing. We don’t understand it, but we know we need it. We can’t comprehend it, but we want more of it. I don’t know how to adequately explain something I can neither understand or comprehend. I just know I’d be dead without it. The grace of God overwhelms me every day. Who am I that God should take notice of me?

I know who I am; I know what I’ve done. I know my thoughts and what I am capable of doing. There is no way I deserve the grace of God. Yet He gives it freely to me. He loves me despite who I am. Who does that?

Fully Equipped

by

There is great comfort in knowing God has given us everything we need to do the work He has called us to do. No matter how big or difficult the task before us looks, we are fully equipped to get the work done. Why are we so hesitant to move forward when deep inside, we know we are fully equipped to handle whatever comes our way? Within each follower of Jesus is the Holy Spirit of God Himself.

We have immediate access to all the power of God in every given moment. Ask yourself, “Would Jesus be afraid of doing what I know I should do next? Would Jesus wilt under pressure and turn aside to go an easier way?” Of course, the answer to both questions is no. Knowing Jesus is not only with us, but within us, why do we hesitate?

Seeking More

by

Of what are you seeking more? It seems as if we spend much of our lives in pursuit of more. We want more money, more fun, more security, more comfort, more peace, more power, and more freedom. Whatever we have seems to never be enough. The trouble with more is when we acquire it, we realize we still need more. More is never satisfied. It becomes an insatiable hunger and an endless pursuit in our lives. We find ourselves beginning to think the only thing better than more is, well, more!

As I was praying recently, I asked God to make me content in and with His provision for me. I asked to not desire more than what He had entrusted to me. The only thing I want more of is Him. If I am to spend my life seeking more, then I want to spend it seeking more of Jesus.

Casual Indifference

by

I think we have the habit of not taking sin seriously enough. We all sin every day, but how much does it truly bother us? I was reading in Ezra and observed his reaction to his own sin. It says in Ezra 9:6, he was so embarrassed and ashamed of his sin he couldn’t even lift his eyes to face God. He recognized his sins and the sins of his people were higher than his head and his guilt was as high as the heavens.

When was the last time you considered your sin like this? We are far too casual in response to our own sin. We know Jesus has paid the price for us, so no matter what we do, we’re covered. Somehow this has led us not into deeper repentance, but into casual indifference.

Going to Hell

by

In our day, the phrase “go to hell” is thrown around flippantly in anger. It is common for many to joke they are “going to hell” for something they said or did. Without a doubt, culture has done much to desensitize us to the brutal and horrific reality of Hell. We’ve allowed forces outside the authority of God’s Word to convince us the Bible doesn’t mean what it says. And we’ve allowed this to happen to the point Hell is now a joke at worst or at best a casual curse.

Going to Hell is not a trivial phrase, it is the most pressing and urgent subject we need to address as followers of Jesus. Since Christ doesn’t want anyone to go to Hell (2 Peter 3:9), we should spend our lives doing everything we can to keep every person we meet from going to Hell.
