Are You Timid? Jesus Offers Courage.
His power is greater than our enemies, His sovereignty rules over our battles, His promises reside in our hearts, His forgiveness ensures our futures, His presence empowers our lives, and His grace provides for our needs. Confident in this, we press on!
Are You Confined? Jesus Offers Freedom.
No more shackles. No more cages. No more prisons. Walk out of that cell and in faith follow Jesus. Don’t live as if you are still in chains. You have been set free.
The Battle-Axe Of Discouragement
Therefore… Let us not lose heart or lose hope. Let us not slow down or shut down. Let us not give up or give in. Let us listen for the applause of heaven. Now we hear from a distance, but someday in His presence.
Are You Wronged? Jesus Offers Justice.
God will repay, either by accepting the payment made by Jesus on the cross should they repent and receive His grace, or by making them pay in hell if they do not. Therefore, let us overcome evil with good and leave it to God to do the work He means to do. We who have received grace should be the quickest to extend it.
We Are All Believers
Listen: You will believe something today. When that temptation is offered, that relationship blows up, that meeting goes wrong, that diagnosis is grim, that pleasure is available, that problem shows up, that plan falls through, that sin is appealing, and that thing happens … you will believe something to be true.
Slow Down
The remedy for busy, frantic lives is not to speed up, but to slow down. The thing that will most help us with what we face each day is to simply spend time with Jesus getting recharged so we can be prepared for what lies ahead, and refocused so we can prioritize the things that matter most. You’re not too busy to spend time with Jesus. You’re too busy not to spend time with Jesus!
Are You Ambitious? Jesus Offers Riches.
There will always be more to discover and enjoy from the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. Don’t live for this day; live for that day. Don’t be discouraged by this day; be encouraged by that day. Take hope in this every day: for those who are trusting in Jesus, the best is always yet to come.
Are You Threatened? Jesus Offers Security.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all...
Are You Known? Jesus Offers Love.
The One who matters the most, knows us most, and loves us most. Secure in His love for us, we are moved to love Him back and extend His love to others, knowing that when the all-seeing God of the universe looks upon us in Christ, though He sees everything about us, what He sees most is a beloved son or daughter.
I Only Know The Road Leads Home
He has come to join us in our suffering, indeed suffer in our place on the cross so that one day we can enter into a place where there is no suffering at all. He made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can someday witness the undoing and remaking of all that sin has tainted.
