REMEMBERING WHO WE ARE IN CHRIST

Our minds are funny things, especially our memories. Sometimes we remember things we would rather forget, but more often we forget things we wish we would remember. Our brains filter so much information during a day that sometimes we just lose things when we wish we wouldn’t. Most of the time our lapses in memory […]

WORTH THE READ — THE TREASURE PRINCIPLE

Jesus tells us that the kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field (Matt 13:44). It seems a wealthy man buried a fortune on his land and died before he could retrieve it. No one knows it is there until a traveler finds it, marks the spot, and races home. In his […]

THE BELIEVER’S CRY

Psalm 121 begins with the believer’s cry. “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.” In other words, “I’ve set off on this life of faith. I have begun to put one foot in front of the […]

CRY OUT TO JESUS

We can come to Jesus with anything. There is no situation too desperate for Jesus. Francis Schaeffer, a great Christian writer and evangelist during the 20th century, tells a story in one of his books about a time when he almost died. He was flying back to the United States from Europe, and he is […]

LORD OF THE STORM

This world can be a dangerous place. We spend a lot of our life trying to avoid or protect ourselves from its danger. Think of how cars are advertised. “This car has front seat, passenger, and side airbags, anti-lock breaks, all-wheel drive, a camera to help you back up, a system that will keep you […]
