God prefers obedience
Sometimes we try to hide a sin by good actions, or we justify our misconduct by spiritualizing it. But that does not please God because He always prefers obedience.
The good fear
We know that living in fear is not God’s plan for our lives. Our Heavenly Father wants to see us fulfilled and free. But the Bible still encourages us to have a fear, that of the Lord. You have to be afraid of God? Not quite.
Going nowhere
We look at the walls of our bedroom, and we start dreaming. And if we had more of this, or more of that. Now, if we believe that having more will get us anywhere, we ought to study the story of Solomon.
Ask instead of assuming
How many times have you come to a conclusion about a situation, or worse, about a person, without even asking a few questions to see if your assumptions were valid? We have all made this mistake. It’s time to put a stop to that.
When we don't know what to pray
Sometimes we are angry with our partner, or just plain sad and disappointed, and we don’t even know why. We want to pray about it, but we don’t know what to ask. That is where the Holy Spirit can help us.
Become more like Christ
Our Christian life does not stop at our prayer of salvation! That is where it all begins. Then we are called to become disciples of Christ and help new believers to become disciples themselves. Come on! To work!
If you are going to do something, do it with excellence!
It is easy to drag our feet and fall into neglect in different areas of our lives. But negligence attracts negligence. So it pays to roll up our sleeves, listen to the way of the Holy Spirit, and act with excellence.
Leaving the past behind
Jesus died on the cross and was buried, but He didn’t stay there. We celebrate Easter to remind ourselves that Jesus has risen, that He is alive, and that we too can live in His resurrection.
Attack!
We love to talk a lot about God’s love, peace, and favor. And all of this is true! But we must not forget that we are also soldiers on a mission to destroy the works of the devil!
Be ready for the return of Jesus
Several times in His ministry, Jesus told His disciples to be ready for the end so as not to miss the coming of the glory of God. Hundreds of years later, that message still applies. And we, are we ready?
