All of us talk about how stressful our lives are as we seek to work through frantic schedules and numerous tasks. The fact is that nothing gets more orderly by accident, and we must be proactive to make the most of the time we have.
We act as if we can handle our problems independently, but we are only fooling ourselves. Don’t pridefully act like you have no burdens — take them to Jesus.
A corrupt man named Zaccheus was curious about Jesus, yet he didn’t know that Jesus was seeking him. It is incredible to realize that Jesus is not only willing to know us, but He is also eager to do so.
Most Christians admit that we are supposed to share the good news with others, but fear often paralyzes us from doing just that. Instead of remaining in guilt, what if there was a way for you to unlock your potential for sharing the gospel?
Having stuff isn’t sinful as long as it doesn’t have you, but we often feel like our worth is wrapped up in what we own. Instead of thinking about what we can give, we focus on what we can get and miss out on a better path.
Jesus spoke of His way being a narrow path that few find themselves upon, and our world is full of people who create their own paths of distorted Christianity. If the religious way is popular, it’s probably not the Jesus way.
Prayer is not an emergency hotline only to dial when we get in trouble; it is an ongoing connection with our Father so we can stay in step with His Son. If we want to learn how to pray well, we best go learn from Jesus.
It can be disheartening for parents who seek to raise their children in the ways of the Lord to see them turn from it. Learn these biblical principles to reach your children if they drift away.
If you listen to the way many Christians talk today, we sound so different from the way Jesus expected us to live and serve others. Instead of making it about Him and others, we make it all about becoming as comfortable as possible.
There are traps of sin that all of us can fall into because we are humans with desires of the flesh, but there are traps of sin that are very effective on you personally. If you want to follow Jesus in obedience, you must beware those traps.
