Seek the Peace
Hebrews 11 reminds us that as Christians, we are strangers and pilgrims in this world. In a sense, we are in exile while we wait to journey to our heavenly home. So what does God want us to do while we’re here?
Christian Ambition
Ambition… it’s something our society prizes. So what should a Christian’s relationship to ambition look like?
The Rebellious House: a Tale of Beams and Motes
In Ezekiel 2, God tells the Israelites that they are being rebellious —just like the Gentiles they had been looking down on for their rebellion. While they prided themselves on being God’s chosen people, they were borrowing the idolatry of the nations around them. It was a textbook case of hypocrisy.
Not in Vain
Whether you live a life of full-time ministry or are a full-time Christian working at a secular job, it can be easy to become discouraged in our efforts to share Christ and serve Him with our lives. But God doesn’t want us to be discouraged!
Where is Your Treasure?
Have you ever thought about what you would pack if you had to evacuate your home? I recently did, and found it a challenging reminder of what true treasure really is.
Rest Through Obedience
Sin brings strife: between us and God, and between us and those around us. But there is a way to rest with God. In the book of Genesis, Noah shows us how rest comes through obedience.
7 Things God Hates
We don’t like to talk about God hating things. After all, doesn’t the Bible say that God is love? The truth is, it does, but it also says that God is holy, just, pure, good, and perfect. He cannot be all that without hating the sin that destroys the people He created. God’s attributes are inseparable. You cannot talk about one without taking into account all the others.
So, with all God’s attributes in mind, let’s look at seven things God’s Word says He hates.
Boldness and Access
How is it that we can come before God with our petitions? It is because of Christ. Ephesians 3:12 says, (referring to Christ,) “In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of Him.”
So what does that mean for us?
To Wait with Patience
Do you like to wait for things? I don’t. It never seems to matter whether I am waiting for something pleasant or something I’m dreading: waiting is just as difficult either way.
Except when I wait with patience.
