Your Whole Life

by

Your whole life is about one thing — living for Jesus. It’s not about what you achieve, who you become, or what you do. The only thing that matters is Jesus. We live as if it’s all about us, but that is the height of delusion. Nothing you or I do will ever count for anything outside of what we do for Christ. Everything you accumulate goes to someone else when you die.

Nothing goes with you, not even your reputation. Everything gets left behind. Nothing we build on earth will survive. Only what we do for Jesus will transcend time and span eternity. This life is not about you, it’s all about Him. This whole life, unless you live it for Jesus, is meaningless.

Making the Most of Our Time

by

Paul instructs believers to always be making the most of our time because the days are evil (Ephesians 5:15-16). I don’t think any of us doubt that the days we are living in are evil. Never in my lifetime have we seen such hate, violence, and disregard for God as we do right now. So, in these evil days, how do we redeem the time so we spend it focusing on God instead of the evil in the world?

Without intention and guidelines, it’s too easy to be drawn into the darkness instead of dwelling in the light. We will never passively make the most of our time. It must be something we consciously choose to do. That means we’re going to stand out, people will probably mock us, and we may even face persecution. But this is the life Jesus calls us to, and it is the life we choose for the sake of Christ.

The Birth of Christ

by

In the history of man, through all the rush and bustle, there was one day when all of Heaven held their collective spiritual breath. That was the day Jesus came to dwell among His creation in human form. The birth of Jesus was not His first visit to the earth that He spoke into existence, but it was the first time He came as one of us.

While remaining fully God, He at the same time became fully man, so He could become the sacrifice we so desperately need. The birth of Christ was a brief respite from the normal goings-on of the world. From that moment, nothing would ever be the same again.

Never Stop Giving

by

If you study the life of Jesus, you will see He set the example to never stop giving. Everywhere He went, Jesus was giving something to someone. Sometimes it was as dramatic as giving sight to the blind (John 9:1-7) or cleansing an incurable disease (Matthew 8:2-4), and sometimes it was as simple and subtle as giving peace (John 14:27). In every Bible story in the gospels, you find people needing something from Jesus and Jesus providing it for them.

Not once do you read about Jesus doing something selfish. Not once do we find Him taking a break from His mission to just chill out and mindlessly relax. Even when He got away by Himself, it was to bask in the presence of His Father (Mark 1:35-38). The life of Jesus was one of service. Are we measuring up?

In His Presence

by

We live our lives in a compartmentalized way. There are compartments holding our work stuff, personal stuff, and God stuff. We further break these compartments down into even smaller ones until we are juggling all these little boxes, unable to keep up and too tired to give any one of them our best effort. In the bustle and progress of modern society, we’ve lost the practice of spending time with God.

Because our attention is so fractured and fragmented, we never seem to have time for our King. Spending time in His presence is at best a dream and is more often than not forgotten entirely. Somewhere between our declaration of His Lordship and our present reality, we’ve lost our love and fascination with Jesus.
