Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

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.

You Have No Rights

by

I’m astounded by the number of professing Christians these days who are joining popular cultural choruses demanding their rights to engage in activities in direct contradiction of the Bible. For someone surrendered to the Lord, they can never say they have a right to anything. Let me put it bluntly: if you have surrendered your life to Christ, you have no rights.

All of your rights have been signed over to Jesus. You have pledged to live your life by His standards and according to His Word. If you think you still have a right to do anything you desire, then you don’t know Jesus. He demands we leave everything behind and follow Him.

God’s Word

by

God’s Word is all about God. That should be obvious. But we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out our place in His story. The Bible is not about you or me. It’s about God. We make a mistake when we try to make it about us. From Genesis to Revelation, we are reading the story of Jesus. Since Jesus is the very Word of God (John 1:1), it only follows that God’s Word is all about Him.

Yet the most prevalent form of preaching today centers on finding yourself or your circumstances in the Bible. I’m not saying there isn’t a plethora of wisdom to be found in the Word of God, but it is not the primary reason the Bible exists.

True Repentance

by

True repentance will drive you to your knees and onto your face. It’s not just being sorry about what you’ve done, it’s about being mortified that you have grieved the Holy Spirit of God. Too much is being preached from pulpits today about repentance being about saying you’re sorry.

I’d like to think many pastors mean well when they give their explanations of repentance, likening it to a turning away from something to walk in the opposite direction. And there is truth in what they say. The reality is, though, true repentance is realizing that you have grieved the heart of the holy God. And that thought should absolutely wreck you.
