Lord of Your Life

by

If we aren’t spending every moment of this life preparing for the next one, what is the point of our existence? Jesus is our Lord, and that means we give everything to Him. Every activity, every thought, every interaction, they are all for Him. Anything you do that isn’t for the glory of Christ is a rejection of His Lordship. If we confess Jesus as Lord with our lips but deny it with the way we live, then our confession isn’t genuine. You might be thinking, “It’s impossible to live that way”, and you’d be right.

Each one of us would be damned to Hell if not for the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ. That grace is His side of the equation. Our side is to accept that gift by acknowledging Him as our Lord. So, if at the core of your being, and with every ounce of your strength, you aren’t intent on pursuing every aspect of your life for His glory, then your surrender to Him as the Lord of your life cannot be genuine.

Don’t Be Caught Off Guard

by

How did you spend your last day off? Or, given the endless responsibilities in our busy world, perhaps a better question might be, “What would a perfect day look like to you?” Playing video games? Watching movies? Sleeping? Eating everything in the refrigerator? How many of us look forward to filling any free time with studying God’s Word?

Is it any wonder we are always caught off guard when we have an opportunity to share the Gospel? Paul urged the followers of Jesus to be ready to defend the Gospel at any time (2 Timothy 4:1-2). We’ll never be ready as long as we keep our brains engaged with the things of this world instead of what God has written in His Word.

The Very Words of God

by

We read God’s Word to learn about Him and to hear from Him. How, then, can we approach the Bible as a dry and dusty book? How can scripture not be our most valuable possession? You will find everything you need to know about how to live a life pleasing to God in the pages of the Bible. God’s word reveals everything you need to know about life, death, and the life to come.

It is sufficient for our salvation, and it is complete in its revelation. While the Holy Spirit may give us fresh insight to help us understand and apply some of the Bible’s teachings, there is no new revelation. The very Words of God to man were gifted to us 2,000 years ago and have been guiding those who will come to Him ever since.

Remain in Him

by

In his first epistle, John encourages believers to “…remain in Him, so that when He appears we may have boldness and not be ashamed before Him at His coming” (1 John 2:28). To remain in Him not only secures our eternity, it also leads to living this life to the fullest extent possible (John 10:10). Many proclaim they believe in Jesus, but far fewer say they know Him.

But how many will remain in Him until He returns? Abiding in Christ doesn’t feel natural to our fallen nature, no matter how much our soul longs to be with Him. Those who love Christ want to be full of Him and nothing else. They want to forsake the world and follow Jesus. Making such proclamations is easy. Living every day of our lives like we mean it is another story entirely.

Seeking Truth

by

In our day, it seems as if everyone is searching for truth. They seek their truth, social truth, religious truth, and every other kind of truth. It isn’t unique to this generation. From the beginning of time, people have sought the truth. More often than not, they are seeking truth to validate their way of thinking and living. The truth is not hard to find. It isn’t some nebulous construct or abstract notion.

The truth is a person and His name is Jesus Christ. All who genuinely seek Him will find Him (Matthew 7:7). There isn’t a lack of truth to be found, there is a lack of people willing to obey the truth once they find Him. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Stop seeking truth. The search is over. Jesus is the truth, and He is waiting to be found by you.
