Pray At All Times
Early Christians were urged by the apostle Paul to “pray without ceasing.” In Romans 12:12 Paul said, “always be prayerful.” And in Ephesians 6:18 to “pray at all times and on every occasion.” Unceasing prayer may sound complicated, but it needn’t be. As you stand in line to register your car, think, “Thank you, Lord, for being here.” In the grocery store as you shop, as you load the dishwasher, worship your Maker.
Brother Lawrence was a well-known saint who called himself the “lord of pots and ...

Acknowledge God’s Presence
As Romans 12:18 instructs, “As you do your part to live in peace with everyone, as much as possible,” it’ll also come as you pray.
For ten days Jesus’ disciples prayed. Ten days of prayer, plus a few minutes of preaching, led to three thousand saved souls. Perhaps we invert the numbers. We’re prone to pray for a few minutes and then preach for ten days! Not the apostles. They lingered in Jesus’ presence. They never left the place of prayer.
Are you wondering, “My business needs atten...

Every Day Closer
Too seldom do I hear thunder and think “Is that God?” Colossians 3:2 reminds us to “Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth.”
Blessings and burdens. Both can alarm-clock us out of slumber. Gifts stir homeward longings. So do struggles. Every homeless day carries us closer to the day our Father will come to take us home. The Bible tells us God will wipe away all tears, there will be no more death, no more sorrow, no more crying, no more pain. All of that g...

Heaven Is Your True Home
The dread of death ends when you know heaven is your true home.
In all my air travels I’ve never seen one passenger weep when the plan landed. Never. No one clings to his armrests and begs, “Don’t make me leave! Let me stay and eat more peanuts!” We are willing to exit because the plane has no permanent mailing address.
Nor does this world. Paul said in Philippians 3:20, “But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior....

Trust His Work in You
Sin sees the world with no God in it. Where we might think of sin as slip-ups or missteps, God views sin as a godless attitude that leads to godless actions. Isaiah 53:6 (NLT) says, “All of us have strayed away like sheep. We have left God’s paths to follow our own.”
A life of doing what we feel like doing, whenever we feel like doing it. God says to love; I choose to hate. God instructs to forgive; I opt to get even. God calls for self-control; I promote self-indulgence.
This is sin. But Jesus ...

Be of Good Cheer
Here’s a test: how far do you have to go to hear the reminder Be afraid? How near is your next You’re in trouble memo? A flip of the newspaper page? A turn of the radio dial? A glance at the internet? According to the media, the world is one scary place.
There’s a stampede of fear out there. Let’s not get caught in it. Let’s be among those who stay calm. Let’s be numbered among those who hear a difference voice—God’s! Courage doesn’t panic, it prays. Courage doesn’t bemoan, it believes. Courage ...

We Can Trust Him
Revelation 2:10 says, “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Make sure the hull of your convictions can withstand the stress of collisions. Builders of the Titanic should have been so wise. The luxury liner sank because contractors settled for cheap rivets. The builders used substandard ones that popped their heads on impact with the iceberg.
How sturdy are the bolts of your belief? Reinforce them with daily Bible readings, regular worship, earnest communion with God. C...

Confident in Him
Yes, life stinks. But it won’t forever. As one of my friends likes to say, “Everything will work out in the end. If it’s not working out, it’s not the end.”
In the meantime, don’t overreact. Psalm 37:7 (NLT) says, “Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.” This is a toxic world. But neither do we join the Chicken Little chorus of gloom and doom: “The sky is falling, the sky is fall...

Eternal Glory
Certain chapters in this life seem so unnecessary. Suffering. Loneliness. Disease. Holocausts. Martyrdom. Hurricanes, earthquakes, monsoons. If we assume this world exists just for pre-grave happiness, these atrocities disqualify it from doing so. But what if this earth is the womb? Might these challenges, severe as they may be, serve to prepare us, to equip us for the world to come?
The apostle Paul would think so. He wrote in 2 Corinthians 4:17, “These little troubles are getting us ready for ...

Every Person Matters to God
Life is so much easier if we can just put labels on people. Pigeonholing permits us to wash our hands and leave. “Oh I know him—he’s an alcoholic.” “She’s a liberal Democrat.” “He’s divorced.” Categorizing others creates distance and gives us a convenient exit strategy for avoiding involvement.
But Jesus took an entirely different approach. He was all about including people. Jesus touched lepers and loved foreigners. His Facebook page included the likes of Matthew the IRS agent and some fl...
