Jesus Came to Thwart the Enemy
Humanity has an enemy who seeks to keep us from God. Jesus came to earth to push back such dangerous opposition and offer us the freedom we need.
Matthew
Stay Ready
We don’t know when Jesus will return, but that doesn’t deny the certainty of it happening. To make the most of our lives, we must stay ready.
If Your Spouse Isn’t Trying
Many people feel stuck in a marriage that they seek to improve, only to be met with resistance or complacency from a spouse. While a healthy marriage depends on two people putting in the effort, you might have to resort to an individual strategy.
Don’t Twist Theology Like the Devil
When God doesn’t behave how we expect or allow what we hope, we desire to make Him more like us. We do not want a God that always agrees with us.
Addressing Anxiety
Everyone suffers from some level of anxiety in their lives. Discover what Scripture clarifies to address our feelings when we are overwhelmed.
Don’t Drop the Missional Baton
Once the disciples saw that Jesus’ tomb was empty, they altered everything to share that news with others. They successfully got that news to us, but will we take the baton and pass it to others?
Jesus Didn’t Build the Church on Our Opinions
You can be sincere in your beliefs about God and still be sincerely wrong. If your thoughts about God don’t match His revelation about Himself, then you are misguided.
“You Be You” Is Horrible Advice
We live in a world that encourages you to be you; the phrase implies that you should just live however you want. In all honesty, I can’t think of a more dangerous set of instructions to incorporate as you try to succeed at what God has called you to do.
Making Better Prayer Times
Even though prayer can be very challenging to stay consistent with focus and direction, we all know of its important for our lives. With some simple adjustments, you can create more effective times of prayer that will cause you to desire it more. It’s time to go the second mile in making better prayer times.
Make Disciples – Not Converts
Jesus wanted disciples – not converts. He discipled men who would continue to grow, not just men who would maintain an undeveloped faith.
