There can be a shortage of spiritual nourishment in our lives—in our marriages, our homes. A regular diet of the unadulterated truth of God is a rare experience.
Turn to the Lord today and commit your time, gifts, affections, and investments to Him. Make certain His name is made known and His grace transferred through your brief, but meaningful years on earth.
What’s James’ point? Nobody’s perfect...making mistakes, or stumbling, is a normal fact of life. More specifically, when it comes to the tongue, we often blow it!
We must be careful how we live, examine our hearts, and allow the Spirit of God freedom to roam the inner chambers of our motives.
Notice the wide highway that leads to hell. Highway speed is often breakneck. But the road to heaven and God’s blessing is narrow and more difficult to navigate, yet leads to life. A narrow road requires a much slower and more careful pace.
A teardrop on earth summons the King of Heaven. Rather than being ashamed or disappointed, the Lord takes note when our hard times are oiled by tears.
Rumours can be cruel. Lacking authoritative facts and direct sources, information is loosely disseminated, creating unrest, fear, and harm. That’s why God makes clear the importance of using our words to speak grace, not spread rumours.
We live such earthbound lives, enjoying and even fostering the notion of safety and security that when change is before us, everything in us resists. That’s especially true when God calls us to such an extensive change of location and lifestyle.
To have friends we must be friendly. Friendliness is a matter of being someone...more than it is doing something. The best overview of the wonder of how God designed you is found in Psalm 139.
Are you a closet skeptic? Only believing and accepting from God what you can explain or measure or see? Or are you a believer living in wondrous awe of His limitless power and infinite grace?
