God Works All Things Together for Good

The apostle Paul, in his letter to the Christians in Rome, acknowledged “the sufferings of this present time” (Rom 8:18), our inner “groaning” (Rom 8:23), and our “weakness” as humans (Rom 8:26). However, he shifted the focus away from our difficulties and onto God, stating, “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love Him, to those who are called according…

The Hand of the Lord (Origami Blitzkrieg)

If the Lord puts His hand on you for a purpose—and He does have a purpose for you if you dare to listen—you would do well to trust Him to accomplish it in you, because try as you might, you can’t outrun God. Because I’ll tell you what, the hand of correction is no fun either.

There is a character that figures heavily in the Gospels. John the Baptist. Now there is a lot said in the scriptures about John but in the book of Luke there is one sentence that stands out as an explanation for why John was so powerful as a prophet.  “And the hand of the Lord was with him.” Luke 1:66 John would become the messenger sent to prepare the way for the Messiah—quite an assignment.…

Lessons from the Temptations of Jesus: Overcoming Life's Challenges as Believers

In Matthew 4, we read the account of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. After fasting for forty days and nights, Jesus faced three distinct temptations from Satan.

I explained that discipline in the Bible is twofold: God disciplines us as His children, and we are to be self-disciplined. God’s discipline is His ongoing correction and training that results in His people living righteous lives that conform to His character and will. As God’s…

Where Are You Going?

Introduction In life, when things seem to be going well, it’s natural for us to want to maintain the status quo. We work hard to build a life where everything is in balance—where our relationships, careers, and daily routines run smoothly.
