Jesus only gave the clear purpose and justification for humanity’s existence: there is no higher call, duty, or honor than the worship of God In a modern culture laden with materialism and self-gratification, the thought of all humanity existing for the sole purpose of worshiping God may not seem logical or appealing. However, generations upon generations testify otherwise. Support the show When we choose to give the Lord our early morning moments, what He gives to us in ret...
God created humanity, and when humans foolishly strayed into disobedience and suffered the consequences that came with it, God provided redemption. Our sin alienates us from God. Because he is holy our sin prevented us from relationship with him. However, through the provision of Christ who paid for our sin, and by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us, we become free from the blemish of sin, redeemed, and a part of God’s family.

As impossible as it is to comprehend God, it is equally impossible to understand the unlimited dimensions of his love. Truly God is the best example of love, but that is still a deficient statement. He is not only the essence of love, but love in purest form as he is love’s sole source, for God is love (1 John 4:8).

Oh, what it would be like to be a people living in true peace! Jesus said his peace was not like the anemic, temporal versions from worldly sources : the empty promises of politicians, the half-hearted truces amongst feuding families, the fleeting peace found in financial gain. His peace is supported by the promises of his Father’s kingdom; it is a grounded peace—one that cannot be stolen, one we can rest in.

Challenges will certainly come as we make it our lives’ goal to love and serve Christ with a whole heart.

We are often anxious about positions, titles, and tasks—where we should be and what we should be doing to stay in the Lord’s will. However, whatever our current position, title, or task, as Christians, there are internal qualities and attitudes that we are expected to manifest no matter our circumstances.

Thoughtful gifts, words of encouragement, and affirmation from friends are always welcomed for they can powerfully change the attitudes and direction of our days. However truly wonderful and appreciated gifts from friends are, the life-altering gifts from Jesus, our perfect friend, cannot be measured.

Many of us have experienced the effects of authority abuse; it often leaves us hurt, wary, and angry. But be assured: every word of God proves true, regardless of how difficult or impossible those promises may first appear. I have heard it said, “No one speaks complete truth!” Yes, there is one—Jehovah God! His words stand without wavering in purity and promise, despite our own flaws or failures. Wise are those who hear and obey the true words of God. Support the show When we choo...
Horrible and fierce as storms can be, humanity has a far more formidable danger, more detrimental than nature’s greatest force. This foe is Satan, and he desires our complete destruction.

Just like the state of awe we can experience through an amazing view, there is no better way to begin a day than in awe of the Holy One.

It’s humbling to realize we deserve nothing; it’s humbling when we realize God has chosen to love us and made a way for us to experience his good grace and favor through Christ; and it’s humbling to realize he alone provides us with strength, protection, and the resources to do his will.

We’re often drawn to these words in God’s promise to Abram: I will bless you and make you famous. We should note God’s blessing, while always right, purposeful, and fulfilling, also requires trust when there is uncertainty. God’s designed blessings may not always look like we feel they should, but they are always exactly what we need. The life given fully to loving and following God will, in the end, be found with no regret. Support the show When we choose to give the Lord our ear...
We have the Lord God as our protector, provider, and guide. No other power exists with unlimited ability to care for those under its watchful eye. The Lord is our Shepherd.

He is the ultimate provisionary regardless of the situation. His offer as Shepherd of our lives is the promise of flawless provision. Supp...

The scripture reminds us, even in times of despair or uncertainty, the Lord has promised to always be with his children. He, as the Maker and Sustainer of all things, guides and protects. He selects our path, leads us within it, and in his limitless abilities to alter the natural if need be, promises success of arrival to his selected destination for us. He never calls us to a task or mission without provision to accomplish the mission to which he has called us. Support the show W...
There is a far greater danger to us than the cruelest of weather elements: evil itself. Cold-heartedly deceptive, Satan—the enemy of our souls—seeks to draw us away from the Lord’s love and the Lord’s will. Without Christ, one’s spiritual future is desperately dark; apart from him, we can get caught up in the tangles of sin and its painful consequences.

The immensity of all God has done—and continues to do—far exceeds our capacity to take it all in. In my own life, there are times of reflection when I am amazed, overwhelmed, and astounded by all he has done and how much he loves me, even in my own failings and even through difficulty. As his children, we are invited to respond to his greatness by acknowledging him, following him as he leads, worshiping him wholeheartedly, and honoring him with all of our lives. He alone is the God of w...
It’s a powerful thing to have our hearts and minds washed by this reality of scripture our God—to whom all honor is due, who abides forever, who rules in absoluteness, who will never relinquish authority, and who will stand forever as the singular lifesource for all eternity—cares dearly for us.

How awful and empty Peter must have felt when, after his third denial of Christ, the Lord turned and looked at him. Peter had been told it would occur, but he insisted that he would remain loyal. Instead, he failed, was humiliated, and let down the one he loved and respected most. Jesus, however, not only told Peter of his coming denials, but also of the coming provision, restoration, and honor of encouraging and ministering once again for Christ. Thanks be to God for his forgiveness.&n...
There is a reason the psalmist compares our own human longing to be with the Lord to a thirsty animal seeking water. The absence of God’s presence leaves the heart dry, tired, vulnerable to temptation, and spiritually drained. Once a Christian experiences the presence of God, a thirst is forever embedded to remain there. And we should seek after him more eagerly than the bloodhound searching for physical comfort and rest, for Christ’s presence alone provides true and complete refreshmen...
Despite how grounded or ready we might feel against spiritual attack, our spiritual foe is very cunning to use speed, surprise, and distraction against the pale defenses of humanity. Without God, we are no match for the enemy. Although the greatest human fortresses still have weakness and vulnerability, there is one safe fortress void of vulnerability: Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord our protector.
