Don’t Forget the Good News

by

In a world inundated with bad news, don’t forget the good news! The good news is, of course, the gospel of Jesus Christ. No matter how much is changing in the world, the good news is Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8). While everything around us may feel like the world is constantly shifting like sand beneath our feet, the good news is our feet are actually secure and planted on the rock of Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27).

These storms and trials will not sweep us away. This will not be the end of our story. For those who proclaim Jesus as Lord, our eternity is already written. There will be no surprise ending. The future is sure and ends with us in the arms of Jesus. That is truly good news!

Stand Firm

by

Almost everyone I talk to these days is experiencing some level of anxiety, depression, or hopelessness. It’s as if this is a pandemic all its own. The world is bathed in fear. People fear a virus, their government, diminishing freedoms, or increasing violence. Between fear and depression, I think it’s safe to say a large percentage of our population is desperate for a way out. They need hope.

Meanwhile, we as followers of Jesus hold the answer to all their problems. There has never been a more necessary time to talk about Jesus. There has never been more fallow ground. Our job is to go and plant the seeds of the gospel. People are hungry, and we hold the bread of life.

Seek God First

by

Wealth will fail you. It cannot save you. Only God is trustworthy and able to save. We can gain the whole world and still lose our soul (Mark 8:36). What good is that? Seek God and His Kingdom first and He will meet your needs (Matthew 6:31-33). What an amazing deal! If we seek God first, our lives automatically get better.

Not because all our problems will melt away, not because we’ll suddenly find fame, fortune, and happiness. No, your life will be better because you will be living in the will of your Creator. You will live the life God designed you to live. This is the goal to which we should all be aspiring every day.

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.

Stop Apologizing for Speaking the Truth

by

A popular Christian singer has come under fire for a satirical song he wrote. While the song was amusing, like all good satire, it featured elements of truth. Most notably, the truth it contained was straight from God’s Word. It was basically a song from a father encouraging his daughters to dress modestly. It was sweet and funny, and amazingly controversial.

When several people began calling his song offensive, the singer took it down and apologized. Besides leaving me scratching my head, I couldn’t help but wonder when Christians will stop apologizing for speaking the truth.
