Jesus Is Sufficient

by

Jesus is sufficient for all things. He is sufficient for your needs, and He is sufficient to take care of everything in the universe. His capabilities are measureless and unfathomable. Yet this same God desires to know us intimately. If this doesn’t overwhelm you, nothing ever will. Jesus is our Creator and our biggest cheerleader. He’s our staunchest defender against the enemy.

He also is holy and demands we be holy as well. The Lord is slow to anger, but when His righteous anger is aroused, we must tremble in His presence. He loves us as much as He hates sin. The blood and mercy of Jesus are sufficient to cover our sins, while the ferocity of His judgment can destroy all who would dare rebel against Him.

Only One God

by

A Biblical worldview demands we understand and believe there is only one God. Most Christians would agree with that statement, yet the way we live and the things we say often stand in contrast to this belief. We don’t correct friends and family members when they make inaccurate statements about God’s truth.

When culture rebels against the commands of our holy God, we sit idly by, convincing ourselves it is better to go along to get along. Why is it the world has no trouble proclaiming lies boldly, but Christians are so timid when it comes to speaking the truth? Why are we so afraid to declare there is only one God?

Perseverance

by

Perhaps nothing is more necessary to living the Christian life than perseverance. If you want to live like Jesus, life will test you (John 16:33). For those who dare to call Jesus Lord, know your path will not be the easy way. You will need to develop firm resolve and require buckets full of perseverance to get through this life. We are not on our own here. God’s Word has much to say about perseverance, the need for it, and how to develop more.

If you’ve read and studied the Bible over the years, you are no doubt familiar with Job’s story. He had everything you could ever want in this world, and he walked humbly before God. In a flash, he lost everything. Wracked in pain and sorrow, Job persevered through the pain and refused to give up His faith in our holy God. He is an incredible model of what perseverance looks like in the life of a believer.

How Then Should We Live?

by

What is the purpose in life for those who declare Jesus Christ as their Lord? How, then, should we live? If we spend our lives pursuing the same things as those who reject Christ, what then is the point of our commitment to Him? There has to be something different about the way we live. The world around us is caught up in a selfish pursuit to find pleasure, safety, and comfort.

Is that all there is? Is that the reason Christ died for us? There has to be more. Somewhere along the line, we lost track of what it means to live a life wholly devoted to Christ and began living a life devoted to our comfort and happiness. If we don’t return to living for Jesus, the consequences will be grave and eternal.

Forsaking All

by

Forsaking all means you give up your life. We must crucify our old desires. Put them to death. That means everything, not just a few things we won’t miss. Forsaking all means taking all of our most cherished dreams, possessions, and ideals, and throwing them away. You have to be okay with never revisiting any of those things.

God may redeem some of them and return them to you so He can show you how to use them for His purposes. But there’s no guarantee that will happen. Forsaking all means you don’t expect to recover anything you are releasing. You’re done with them.
