2 / 9 / 212 / 9 / 21

Have you ever felt abandoned by God? Have you experienced times when you’ve taken your needs to God and it feels like He’s not listening? You’re still sick. Your heart is still broken. You still don’t have a job and your need is still unmet. Yesterday, we looked at Jesus prayer… “My Father! If it… Read More

The Best Way to Be Prepared for Jesus

2 / 4 / 211 / 19 / 21

So much has been written about the end times . . . even people who deny Jesus talk about the world coming to an end. I love that Jesus didn’t want His followers to be uninformed; so this week leading up to His suffering, death, and resurrection, He paused to talk about near future and… Read More

How to Cure the Hypocrisy You See in Your Life

2 / 3 / 212 / 3 / 21

Matthew 23 is another chapter that makes me squirm . . . and I’d like to tell you why. Hypocrites!

Important Truth to Know About “It’s Not Fair!”

1 / 29 / 211 / 14 / 21

Recently, my morning devotion included the following quote: Human love typically expects something in return; divine love, however, is unselfishly given regardless of the response of the recipient.

How to Know if You are Good Enough

1 / 28 / 211 / 12 / 21

How good is good enough? How perfectly do you have to obey God’s Commandments to spend eternity in heaven with Him? That was the question presented to Jesus in Matthew 19: “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” Matthew 19:16 Jesus replied: “Keep the commandments . . .

You Need to Do This if You Want to Be the Greatest

1 / 27 / 211 / 12 / 21

Power, prestige, popularity . . . three “P’s” that cause all kinds of problems for followers of Jesus. Not that they’re bad in and of themselves. The issue is that it is so easy for them to become irresistible temptations for selfishness. Matthew 18 begins with the disciples asking Jesus… “Who is greatest in the… Read More

If Jesus came to you and asked… “Who do you say I am?“ Matthew 16:15 What would you say? Peter replied… “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16 A messiah is defined as a savior or liberator . . . someone who sets people free. And that’s exactly what Jesus did… Read More

Praise God for the Gift of His Truth and Love

1 / 22 / 211 / 22 / 21

I’ll admit, it’s easier to simply focus on Jesus love and acceptance . . . to repeat His Gospel promises and ignore His the truth of His life-changing commands. It’s more comfortable to say there is no sin, no devil, no hell, and no need for repentance but that wouldn’t be the truth. Jesus challenged… Read More
