Repent

by

As John the Baptist began preaching, he had a very simple message: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near” (Matthew 3:2). Jesus began His public ministry with the same message: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the good news” (Mark 1:15). This message rings as true and relevant today.

In a world where everyone believes they have their truth and morals have become a relic of the past, the need to repent has never been greater. God sets the rules for living because He created everything that lives. He is the author and judge, and our only role is to obey Him. Instead, we’ve spent millennia thumbing our noses at the One who loves us most.

Keep the Law

by

Over the past several weeks, we’ve been taking a deep dive into the Ten Commandments. Having a better understanding of what the Law requires begs the question of whether any of us can measure up. To keep the Law of God is a daunting task. The sad truth is none of us can keep the Law.

Since the fall of humanity in the Garden of Eden, only Jesus has lived a life in perfect obedience to God’s laws. No man or woman has even come close, and no one ever will. Every day, we break the Law of God with our thoughts, words, and actions. No matter how much we desire to keep the Law, our flesh is too weak.

Dead to Sin

by

Can a Christian sin? If you are a believer in Christ, you know the answer to this is a resounding and unfortunate “yes.” Yet Paul asks a convicting question in Romans 6:2: “How can we who died to sin still live in it?” Is Paul saying once God saves us, we will no longer sin? After all, if we are dead to sin, how can we then live in it?

Paul can’t be saying Christians never sin because one chapter later, he is lamenting, “For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate” (Romans 7:15). If sin could still hamper a man like Paul, how much more will we still fall prey to sin?

All We Need

by

Jesus is all we need. If we have Jesus, nothing else matters. Everything we work for in this life is going to go away. Nothing lasts except the eternal grace and love of Christ. The moment we try to find peace, joy, and rest anywhere other than Jesus is the moment we will become frustrated and angry.

The world can and does offer a plethora of attractive options in which we can imbibe, but only Jesus satisfies. If you have Jesus, everything you need and desire is already within you. It’s time we stopped looking outside to find contentment and begin focusing on the Savior within our hearts.

I Need Jesus

by

There’s not a day that goes by without the realization that I need Jesus. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. How anyone gets through life without Christ is a mystery to me. Where is their source of hope? What is their anchor in the storms of life? I cannot comprehend how anyone deals with the tragedies and disappointments of life without Jesus.

If you know Jesus, I’m certain you find this to be true in your life as well. There simply is no life without Christ. No matter how good you think your life is, it can never be as good as the worst day with Jesus in your life. The reason is the love of Jesus is everlasting. It will never fade like all the pleasures in this world do.
