We are sometimes tempted to believe the lie that God does not love us. Thankfully the Bible is filled with evidence that this is not true.
-
It's time to begin righting the story of your life.
-
God’s grace is freely available but in order to receive it you have to realize you are lost without it.
-
Prayer is the way you defeat the devil, reach the lost, restore a backslider, strengthen the saints, send missionaries out, cure the sick, accomplish the impossible, and know the will of God.
-
Happiness comes from holiness. You can't truly be happy unless you're hungry for Jesus Christ.
-
Some believe we have little or no role in our own Christian maturity. God does everything, they think, and we simply have to "let go and let God." After all, if it's the "fruit of the Spirit," we should passively let him work within us as we abide in Christ.
-
When we gather for worship, whether with a handful in a storefront chapel or with thousands in St. Peter's Square, we perform a drama with different parts-speaking and singing and praying and giving money and baptizing and eating bread and drinking wine-all for the delight of God.
-
When the Bible uses the words salvation, Savior, and save, it's speaking of the total work of God in bringing people from a state of death - hopeless separation from God - to a state of everlasting life through the forgiveness of sin, based on the merits of Christ Jesus who died and rose again. Saving us is the greatest and most concrete demonstration of God's love, the definitive display of His grace throughout time and eternity.
-
Every believer is commanded to be plugged in to a local church.
-
People crave encouragement, and sometimes the greatest encouragement is the writing of words that endure. Perhaps you can pen a note of affirmation and approval to someone today.
-
God is unlimited and infinite with respect to time; He is eternal. God is unlimited and unaffected by space; He is present everywhere at the same time.
-
Everyone is in need of encouragement at some time. Take the opportunity today to encourage (give courage to) the one who often encourages you.
-
We may go to church once a week, but our Christian life is daily - step-by-step.
-
It's not that your most important work is meaningless; it's that your most trivial movements are also significant.
-
It is possible to be at the top of Christian service, respected and admired, and not have that indispensable ingredient by which God has chosen to work in His world today - the absolute sacrificial agape love of the Eternal God.
-
Only by being both deity and humanity could Jesus Christ bridge the gap between where God is.
-
In today's America He (Jesus) has moved from the central figure of world history to source material for late-night comics and pundits who would not dare treat other religious leaders with such disrespect.
-
It's not going to happen through technology or our intellectual abilities but only through prayer. When we pray, God works. We believe God blesses churches that bless missions.
-
God has given us everything we need for life and godliness. And he's given us the indwelling strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit. The rest is up to us.
-
The Lord intends us to be powerful people-mighty in optimism and hopeful of spirit, powerful in evangelistic zeal, potent in influence, sturdy in moral fiber and purity. We can be powerhouses in prayer and preaching.
-
Forgiveness prompted by love is the only way to repair the devastation that so often mars our relationships.
-
Christians are not perfect, and all of us do sin along the way. But genuine Christians hear His voice and follow Him.
-
Discipleship is crucial to our ultimate destiny, but its cost is total commitment.
-
If Jesus can live in you and you are no different than the world around you, something got short circuited because Jesus makes a difference.
