Adjusting to God

Tue, 15 May 2012 10:30:06 -0500

In 1 Samuel we see David in one of the lowest times in his life. Like David, many of us are facing hard situations. We have two choices. We can try to twist God to our circumstances or we can adjust our hearts to God. Many opt for the former, striving to force the hand of God so that we don't have to be uncomfortable; but David shows us that the latter is the choice that pleases God. Wait on the Lord and believe Him for His promises. He is loving, merciful and mighty and will not leave nor forsake you. He is faithful!

For the Honor

Wed, 09 May 2012 10:01:36 -0500

Throughout history man has failed to uphold his end of covenant with God. For that reason Christ had to be made like us, fully human. Jesus completely fulfilled the old covenant and invites us to partake in its benefits. Through him we are fully cleansed, full of God's peace, fully at peace with God and abounding in his grace. We cannot add anything to the finished work of Christ. His grace is fully sufficient. It is our role to receive it as the gift that it is and enjoy it.

Crazy Generosity

Tue, 01 May 2012 15:08:32 -0500

God is calling us to a "Crazy Generosity." It isn't one birthed out of the Law, compulsion or guilt, but a generosity driven by the grace of God. We shouldn't have to be commanded to give. When we fully understand Christ's love and generosity toward us, we can't help but pour out all that we can for others.

Protected All Around

We're all involved in spiritual warfare—no matter our standing in life—and like a predator, our enemy goes after the weak. We must be strong in the Lord and wield the shield of faith, which extinguishes all the fiery arrows of the enemy. These aren't just arrows that kill, but they hit and set the whole body aflame. That can be lust, resentment, anger, worry, etc. Faith produces an assurance of future things to happen and a certainty that things unseen are just as real, or more real in some cases, than what we can see with our eyes. Faith comes by God's word being revealed to our hearts. Lord, increase our faith!
