A Line in the Sand

Paul instructs us in Ephesians 6:13 to be ready for these scuffles by putting on the full armor of God. He tells us to prepare ahead of time to “stand your ground” against the evil in this world.

Doing Everything God Commands Us to Do

Noah’s obedience to God was built on a life of faithfulness to God even when surrounded by a world saturated with evil. This helps me understand Noah’s determination to finish building the ark. His desire to do everything God instructed was built within him before God revealed his plans to destroy the world with a flood.

Putting Down Roots in the Kingdom of God

To settle down with God is to focus on building a relationship with him. It means putting down roots deep into his scripture; spending focused time in prayer with God; drawing deeply from solid relationships with other believers.

Stopping the Seeds of Doubt With a Whisper

Fear, doubt, loss of confidence, these are all tools that Satan uses to attempt to stop us from doing our work for the Lord. Elijah was unstoppable until Jezebel stated her intent to kill him in 1 Kings 19:2.

In this temple of God’s creation, I feel his gentle hand upon me
I feel his gentle grace, his love surrounding me

Take a look at your church and ask yourself if it is equipped to act as one body, ready to wield the sword of the spirit as a unified force for the Kingdom of God.

Letting God Multiply the Little We Have

Jesus encourages us to look beyond our own abilities and resources and seek Him. Too often we respond like Phillip where we can only see the cost or like Andrew where we can only see what is in front of us.

Jesus Gave Us the Ultimate Resolution

Forget your list of New Year’s resolutions. What if this year you only focused on your resolution to Christ, your determination to follow Him?
