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

Revelation

Never Doubt the Power of Jesus

by

Never doubt the power of Jesus. Scripture is replete with descriptions of His authority and power. You would have to be a fool to deny it. But we’ve all proven our propensity for being fools time and again. For unbelievers, God’s power should cause feelings of terror such as they have never known. His wrath is beyond their greatest fear and most horrific imagination. It is indeed a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Hebrews 10:31)

For those of us who are His, His power should be a constant comfort as we realize no problem is too big for Him to solve. (Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37) No situation is too great for Him to rescue us from. The power of Christ is unlimited and unstoppable. (Psalm 115:3; Matthew 19:26)

The Beauty of the Gospel

by

Does the gospel still fascinate and overwhelm you? Do you still marvel at the outrageous generosity of God in selecting you to be one of the chosen few? (Ephesians 1:4-5; John 15:16) Or, as time has gone by, have you grown cold and indifferent to the beauty of the gospel? When we first awaken to the truth of God’s love and sacrifice, it’s almost impossible to keep it to ourselves.

We want to share the truth of Jesus with everyone we meet. But then comes the rejection and the ridicule. It seems not everyone is so excited to hear about Christ. Our love for Him does not fade, but many times our zeal does. (Revelation 2:4-5; Romans 12:11) Sharing Jesus becomes an afterthought and the gospel something we came to accept but no longer think about.

Why Is the World So Evil?

by

Most of us at one point or another have thought, “Why is the world so evil?” Why does it seem to get worse all the time? If we study our Bible, we know the answer, of course. This world is going to continue to spiral into wickedness until the return of the King of the Universe. (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:12) It’s not a surprise, and we know Satan is the mastermind behind men’s illogical pursuit of self-destruction.

But why don’t men see where their evil pursuits are leading? It’s obvious when one is looking from the outside in. Such lawlessness and debauchery are unsustainable. To reject truth creates a foundation of shifting sand on which no one can stand. (Matthew 7:26-27; Psalm 11:3) Why are they so blind? (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 4:18)

Fear Death?

by

Do you fear death? Many Christians do, and it always makes me scratch my head. I’m not sure what would make a believer in Jesus fear meeting Him. I can’t wait to die. Perhaps that’s too morbid for many to read, but do you understand what is waiting for us on the other side? Why would anyone want to stay in this body a second longer than they have to?

Every good thing we experience in this life will be a thousand times better in Heaven, and every bad thing will cease to exist. (1 Corinthians 2:9; Revelation 21:4) It’s a deal unlike any other, and reaching our final destination at last should excite us all.

Making Deposits

by

No matter what we do, we are making deposits into an eternal account or throwing away the time given to us. We fill our days with decisions ranging from what to wear, what to eat, what to say, what to think about, or what to do. Every moment carries with it the choice to honor God or worship ourselves. Satan chose to worship himself, and look how that continues to turn out for him.

Despite being the most beautiful of all the angels (Ezekiel 28:12-15), he considered himself greater than his creator. (Isaiah 14:13-14) The tragic results of such pride are eternal separation from God, unending torment, and no hope for the future. (Matthew 25:41; Revelation 20:10) The same fate awaits all who refuse to bow their knee in worship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
