Wait and See
Sometimes in the Christian life, God allows circumstances to arise in which we have no other choice but to wait on Him. One such occasion happened in my life recently, and I was reminded to wait and see what God will do.
Old Wounds, New Growth
Try as we might, we cannot escape the hard things of life. Even if we keep from bringing heartache and brokenness upon ourselves, this world is still a broken place full of broken people: at some point we all will find ourselves with wounds we feel may never heal. How are we to respond?
A Purpose for the Pain
No one likes to experience pain. it’s, well, painful. While pain is unavoidable in this life, God has given us the promise that our pain is neither permanent nor purposeless.
Right Beside Me
We all have people we look up to, godly people who have mentored us and discipled us. But as Elisha found out, we cannot keep our “Elijahs” in our lives forever. What happens when we find ourselves facing life without a beloved mentor?
Hard Things
Our culture seems to revolve around making things easy. But even though the things that make life easier are not necessarily bad, we can quickly become wrapped up in the idea that nothing should be hard. But what does the Bible say about it?
Importunate Prayer
In Luke 18, God gives an example of prayer that can only be described as annoyingly persistent. This kind of importunate prayer is something God desires from His people.
She That Believed
We live in a world of uncertainty. But God doesn’t want us to be paralyzed by fear or doubt or worry. He wants us instead to fix our eyes, our hearts, and our minds on the only Certainty there is: His faithfulness.
Blessed are Ye
This final beatitude brings the truths home, emphasizing the fact that these blessings can be yours and mine!
Persecuted
“Blessed are the persecuted”… that seems such a contradiction, but Christ said it, and it is true. How can the persecuted Christian be described as blessed, or happy?
