In Psalm 23 David calls the Lord his Shepherd. What about us? Is the Lord our Shepherd? Not just in word, but in actuality?
Jesus gave a description of His sheep in John 10:27 where He says that His sheep hear His voice and He knows them, and they follow Him.
Does that sound like us? Do [...]

Desire the Lord above all

One thing that the grace of God teaches us is to deny worldly lusts (Titus 2:11-12). The focus of our life is to be as one who is “of God” in this world. That does not mean that we don’t provide for our families, we most certainly do. But it means that we do so [...]

“For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised.” (Heb.10:36 ESV)
Do we actively seek to know and do the will of God each day? We see in Heb. chapter 11 a list of those who knew and did the will of God. [...]

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Gal.2:20 KJV)
As one who belongs to Christ, this verse should be [...]

“…that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” (Titus 2:10b KJV)
This is the time of year when we see much adornment as people decorate and beautify their homes for the season. But what about our lives? Do they “adorn” the teaching about God as Savior? Do our lives point to [...]
Warfare

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 6:12 ESV)
We must always remember that it is a spiritual battle in which we are engaged! Whether it is witnessing [...]

“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” (Acts 4:31 ESV)
We need a fresh boldness from the Lord to go out and speak the word of God. Let’s daily [...]
Have we fallen prey?
Posted in discipleship on October 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It becomes increasing clear to me that there are those who claim to be Christians who have a very limited understanding of what sin is and of who God really is. And I fear that there are those who don’t care, they have a concept of God in their own mind which will fit the [...]
