Every Moment Holy

by

Someone recently gave me a book titled, “Every Moment Holy”. I haven’t had the chance to read it, but the title struck me. To see every moment as holy is our responsibility as worshippers of the One true God. To live every moment holy is the calling on every life that proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord. Our attitude each day should be to see God’s holiness in every moment of the day and to observe how He constantly reveals His glory in the world around us.

There is so much sin and darkness, but God’s holiness can still be found by those who seek Him. As we seek His glory, we bring Him glory by ordering our steps so that everything we think, say, and do is holy and pleasing to our King.

Milquetoast Christianity

by

A milquetoast Christianity has infected our churches and our faith. We have been lulled to sleep by decades of compromise. What passes for Christianity today seems normal to us and no cause for alarm. Brothers and sisters, the house is on fire and everyone is sleeping through it. We do the things the world does, talk the way the world talks, and pursue the same things those without Christ pursue.

We are called to live differently from those around us, to be a sacred priesthood (1 Peter 2:9). It is obvious we are not fulfilling our call. We have surrendered the fight in favor of obtaining the things of this world and the lusts of our flesh. The worst part is, most of us are so numb we don’t even know it. The battle is lost and we are oblivious to the tragedy.

Whole World

by

Life is a little crazy these days. Hatred and division are everywhere you look. It’s easy to lose a little hope, and perspective is hard to keep. Trusted voices have turned out to be frauds and storied industries and franchises are falling by the wayside. The church is seeing the results of too many years of allowing the foxes to roam the henhouse. How can we stop the madness and get things back to some state of normalcy?

In times like these, we must remember God is still in control. That’s not some cliché statement left over from an old Sunday School lesson. Psalm 24:1-2 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.” He has the whole world in His hands.

All We Need

by

Jesus is all we need. If we have Jesus, nothing else matters. Everything we work for in this life is going to go away. Nothing lasts except the eternal grace and love of Christ. The moment we try to find peace, joy, and rest anywhere other than Jesus is the moment we will become frustrated and angry.

The world can and does offer a plethora of attractive options in which we can imbibe, but only Jesus satisfies. If you have Jesus, everything you need and desire is already within you. It’s time we stopped looking outside to find contentment and begin focusing on the Savior within our hearts.

Long Way from Eden

by

As we look around our world today, it’s hard to remember that when God finished creating everything in the heavens and on earth, He called it very good (Genesis 1:31). We’re a long way from Eden and the paradise the Lord created. Often, Evil and ugliness hide the wonder and beauty of our world. This isn’t how things are supposed to be.

The Lord created a beautiful world full of beautiful landscapes and amazing creatures. God created everything to reflect His glory and to cause us to glorify Him. Now the world is dying, groaning for a return to its original beauty, desperate to return to the state of being “very good” (Romans 8:22).
