Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Full of Pride

by

Every follower of Jesus should be full of pride. Of course, our pride looks different from that of the world. Our pride is in the all-powerful, all-holy, all-loving God of the universe. Pride is only a bad thing if we place it in the wrong sources. But we have Jesus. We serve the King of Kings and I’m proud of that.

full of pride,humility,gifts,mission,Psalm 20:7,some may trust in horses,pride

I am proud to follow the only One who will never let me down, the One who is the answer to the world’s problems, and the One who saved me from the desolation I deserve. That He knows my name and would care enough to call me to Himself is awesome. There is nothing in this world I could ever achieve that could compare to that.

Speak His Truth

by

In a culture that is ironically becoming less tolerant in the name of tolerance, disciples of Jesus must remember He calls us to continue to speak His truth to a world floundering in deception. Our calling is not to espouse political opinions or to pontificate on economic policies. Our calling is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to bathe the world in His love (Matthew 28:18-20).

It’s not wrong to hold opinions about things outside of God’s Word. Having opinions is part of what makes us human. But when we saturate our speech with more political rhetoric than Godly truth, we are going too far and fighting battles the Lord does not intend for us to fight.

Other gods

by

Psalm 16:4 contains a sober warning for us all. It says, “The sorrows of those who take another god for themselves will multiply”. The gods of this world fill our minds and our hearts, diverting attention away from Christ and onto our desires. We invest far too much of our time and resources in things that do not glorify Jesus. These other gods inhabit our entertainment choices, our priorities, and our thoughts.

other gods,commitment,focus,priorities,Exodus 20:2-6,no other God before me,Psalm 16:4.sorrows will multiply,John 14:15,if you love me obey my commands,John 10:10,life to the full

Jesus demands all of us, and we profess to have given it to Him. Reality dictates otherwise, and according to the Psalmist, we multiply our sorrows. If you wonder why you don’t seem to find the abundant life Jesus promised, perhaps it’s because too many idols are filling your life. It’s not something any of us want to admit, but is true in almost all our lives.

Our Weapon

by

The greatest weapon we have in the face of tyranny, persecution, and spiritual warfare is the presence of God. Our God is unlike any other God in that He is alive and with us wherever we go. The omnipresence of God is our weapon against everything the enemy throws at us. There is nowhere we can go where God is not. He goes before us (Deuteronomy 31:8) and fights for us (Exodus 14:14).

While we spend our time trying to figure out how to live a victorious life, God has already secured the victory on our behalf. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we have already won. No matter how dark the days or the circumstances surrounding us, we have the assurance that God is here.

Times of Trouble

by

In the darkest days, we must remember Jesus is good. He always seeks justice and love. When discouragement encroaches on our soul, He is our comfort. Our unchanging God is in control and we can know all things are working toward His sovereign plan and ultimate victory. We must not grow weary. Our battle is long and our journey difficult. But, oh, our righteous King is our ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1-3).

times of trouble,faith,hope,love,fear,commitment,Psalm 46:1-3,ever present help,Ephesians 6:12,battle not against flesh and blood,1 John 2:1,we have an advocate with the Father,1 Peter 5:10,suffer for a little while

Don’t let the circumstances and events surrounding you consume your thoughts and dictate your mood. Turn your eyes to Jesus. See His beauty. Gaze on His glory. Bask in the warmth of His love. He is not panicked or taken off guard by the happenings in our world. We can rest in His unending provision and power.
