Choosing Our Life
The way we live our lives shapes our experiences and memories. Despite life’s transience, choosing a path of continual prayer and living in Jesus fosters peace in the face of anxiety.
Wait for Him
Waiting for God can be challenging, but it is essential to lean on Jesus, who remains steadfast despite our unworthiness. While striving for holiness is important, God’s grace and mercy are ever-present.
Overcome Evil with Good
Evil exists, but bad situations aren’t necessarily evil. The story of Joseph demonstrates that God can take evil actions and turn them into good outcomes. Joseph’s faith enabled him to rise above his brothers’ wrongdoings. Believers should trust that God works all things for good and not let evil actions control their lives.
Faith and Love
The Bible emphasizes that God values pure motives based on faith and love. The Lord weighs our actions, as seen in Proverbs 16:2. Our challenge is to maintain pure motives in faith and love so we please God.
No Love. Know Hate
In today’s society, hate seems to be running rampant. This hate is manifesting itself through violence and even within the Body of Christ. The Bible warns against hate, emphasizing the importance of love. Those who claim to live in the light but hate others are still living in darkness.
Alive in Jesus
As followers of Jesus, we aim to live Christ-like lives by studying and applying God’s Word, trusting in His promises, praying continually, and finding our joy in Christ. We must also be aware of cultural Christianity’s deception and strive to lead others to a born-again life in Jesus.
God Held a Meeting
Before Creation, God, as one God with three Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), decided to create. Jesus, the Son, was chosen as the Creator, speaking all things into existence. As the heir and ruler of His kingdom, Jesus holds all authority and reconciles all things to Himself, allowing believers to live in peace through faith in Him.
Making Disciples
The Disciple-Making Movement emphasizes immediate, active disciple-making based on the Bible, prayer, fasting, and following the Holy Spirit. Disciples grow, study, and create accountability. This single-mindedness of purpose impacts communities and transforms nations.
How’s Your Faith Doing?
Scripture emphasizes that faith comes from hearing the word of Christ, is a gift of God, and leads to salvation. Faith in Jesus justifies believers, and Jesus perfects it to bring us to faith’s intended goal.
