We are the most blessed people in the world, yet our level of giving to the Lord does not always show it. We have an upcoming opportunity to glorify God and help the church meet its annual budget. May our focus be on what we can do to help.
Trust (faith) in God is a great beginning point for an amazing chain of events for our lives that helps produce the ability to endure through every circumstance of life.
In writing to the churches of Galatia, Paul addresses the problem of how well they had started the Christian race but they also had fallen behind. Today, why do so many begin well but do not finish?
It is often hard to understand why we go through difficult circumstances in life. What does God have to say to us about the need for difficult times and the ability to endure through them?
This young man walked away from eternal life (heaven) because he loved something more than he loved God. Is there anything for which you would walk away from Heaven?
We all have found that life can be consumed with the “things” that dominate the “here and now,” leaving little to no thought of the “there and then.” Our focus must be on Heaven, even as we discharge the duties of daily life.
Too many of God’s children lack confidence in their salvation. Peter affirms just the opposite in this stirring passage, for which we rejoice!
On our greatest days we often forget to give thanks because things are going so well and on our worst days, we often feel there is nothing to give thanks for. Look at what the Lord requires of us.
