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.

Be Faithful

by

In a world where moral decline is progressively moving the ruling parties toward open hostility against Christians, it can cause a lot of anxiety concerning the future. That persecution is coming is no longer a question, but only a matter of timing now. How should we, as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, respond in times like these? The only thing we know for certain is things will get worse before they get better with the second coming of our King.

Until that day, I think the best thing we can do is to be faithful. One day we may be called upon to make the gut-wrenching decisions between freedom on earth or remaining loyal to Christ, between providing for our families or denying Jesus. Our steadfastness then will depend on how well-equipped we are to face those moments.

Jesus is Coming Back

by

Perhaps there is nothing greater to be thankful for than the fact Jesus is coming again. In a world full of evil and destruction, we are daily in desperate need of hope. We need a reason to believe things will get better and that this life is not all there is. All these things are fulfilled in the fact Jesus is coming again. Everything we experience here is temporary. One day, we will forget all our troubles, pain, and despair.

If that isn’t a reason to be thankful, I don’t know what is. The day of Christ’s return is coming, of that, we can be certain. I figure, statistically, I’ve got twenty or thirty years left in this world. The Lord may not come back in my lifetime. Or, He may return in the next twenty or thirty seconds; we just don’t know. What we do know is Jesus is coming back. Thank God for that!

Content

by

Are you content with who you are and what you have? We live in a world that seems intent on keeping us from being content. You don’t have to spend much time on social media before you come across someone living the life you want to live. It doesn’t help that we understand much of what we see is a lie. Everything is staged for maximum impact,

but we still want what is being put on display. If we would step back for a moment and reorient ourselves to reality, we’d realize we’re seeing an industry built on breaking the ninth and tenth commandments of God. People are lying about their own lives to make others desire what they have.

Love for Others

by

As followers of Christ, love for others should permeate all we do. Jesus said the greatest commandment was to love God, and the second greatest was to love others as ourselves (Mark 12:28-31). He even took it up a notch when He said the greatest demonstration of love was to lay down your life for another (John 15:12-13). Of course, Jesus would go on to model such love in His sacrificial death for our sins.

Love for others is the central tenet of Christianity. It is the linchpin and the differentiator. Self-sacrificial love begins with surrendering ourselves to Jesus and manifests as we pour out our lives in service to others to the glory of God. You cannot love God and treat others poorly or unfairly. If we love God, we will love others in kind.
