Every six months or so my husband Reed and I intentionally sit down together and assess how we’re doing with habits, routines, and working towards our life‐long goals. Well, we recently discovered a resource to help us do a very thorough assessment.
What is truth? Pilate’s famous inquiry is the same question that has perplexed the world from the fall of man all the way to the age of fake news. Some people ask it in contempt or disillusionment, while others are sincere truth seekers. In this post, we’re taking a look at five traits of people who put truth at the top of their priority list.
A strategic Christian follows God's righteous path in the land of the living. The Bible tells us that the path of life is not an easy one, as we know all too well in today's culture, but God promises "to smooth the path for the righteous" (Isaiah 26:7). Those who stay the course will be blessed!
As long as we reside in this world, there will always be lawless ones among us. We are called to be good seed "who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance" (Luke 8:15) until the coming of our Lord and Savior. What kind of fruit are you bearing for the kingdom?
It can be easy to assume that each day will be just like the previous day, until a tragic life-changing event takes place, and then the reality of how fragile this life is really hits home. It is strategic for Christians to keep in mind that this life is temporary, and it should stir the soul to make each day count.
We are placed on this earth to bring glory to God, and our highest calling is to honor Him in all areas of life. But here's the thing: we cannot glorify God if we are also trying to glorify ourselves. Humility is an essential factor in our ability to fulfill His purposes in our lives and to stay in sync with the things that matter to Him.
A cry of revival is going forth throughout America. It is the sound of God's people crying out for the Almighty to save us from the state of depravity that is drowning our nation. All around we see corruption, perversion, immorality, and even demonic activity. Some Christians long to be raptured out, but God has a high calling for our lives for such a time as this!
A home can be just another building or it can be a place of spiritual investment. Those who lay foundations in the Word of God and on Jesus Christ will be able to weather any storm and have a lasting impact. Whether you live in an apartment, a condo, or a traditional house, gather your family for a dedication ceremony. Make the commitment today to start serving the Lord from your dwelling place.
Like the ancient nation of Israel, America started out by dedicating itself to God. Our forefathers made a covenant with God Almighty that we would follow His commands and stand apart from other nations. Now, our nation looks much like Israel in the time of Ezekiel, when God declared He would judge the nation according to their ways and bring all their abominations upon them.
