Those Boys

Posted on May 18, 2009 | No Comments
Do you remember the young boy who brought the loves and fishes to Jesus’ disciples? His simple demonstration of faith belies the fact that he was, after all, a boy. Those urchins, how they bring us to the full range of our emotional limits. They are so capable of both high acts of thoughtfulness and seemingly total self absorption.

Authentic Replicas

Posted on May 14, 2009 | No Comments
You and I need to spend quality time with Christ in private devotions. That is the only way we can really know the “real thing.” We need to read His Word and see Him in The Word as we read it. We need to pray in His name realizing that those personal prayers make us more like Him as we follow His example.

A Cry From an Empty Heart

Individual Christians ponder the times long past when a spirit of revival swept over them and they felt close to God. They ask in their spirit, “Why can’t I experience that again?” I believe the heartfelt desire of each and every Believer is to once again experience that time of exciting closeness with God, which seems ever farther and farther away.

Perspective

It can be a great encouragement to know that God is trustworthy and that He is simply looking at our situation from a different perspective. He is still in charge. He is still on His throne, but His ways are so much higher than our ways. Let’s just trust Him to do what is best in every situation.

God is often working behind the scenes to bless and protect His people. I’m amazed at the times we become so pre-occupied with our predicaments that we lose sight of the fact that God is on our side. Just because He is not bringing about cataclysmic events to show Himself in charge, we can be sure that He is.

Beware The False Experience

To kneel at the Cross of Christ is to die to self in such a way that the overriding desire of my life is to live for Him. When that happens the frustrations, fears, and hurts of the world cannot dissuade me from the faithful accomplishment of His plan for my life.

Be Faithful

Isn’t it great to know that God will use His Word to change lives. He really doesn’t need us. He has chosen us, chosen to use us. But He can raise up dry bones to do His bidding, so He really doesn’t need us. But isn’t it great to know that God uses the efforts of His faithful to advance His Kingdom?

Your “Great” Testimony

Posted on April 24, 2009 | No Comments
Your simple story of how Christ gladly receives you and allows you to begin again is a bright ray of hope in the otherwise dark and dreary existence of many caught up in this world’s system. Look for opportunities to share what God has done and continues to do in your life.
