How do we grow up in Christ?
We know that God wants us to grow up, to mature, to become the mothers and fathers He’s made us to be. The first step to growing up in Christ is to define what we’re eating. Babies need milk, maturing believers need meat. And honestly, I’m a little surprised what the Scripture defines as milk. The writer of Hebrews writes: Hebrews 5:11-6:2 (New Living Translation) There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to [...] Read more »
Love: Do Everything In It – Day 40
Truth: We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion–how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions. Our actions will show that [...] Read more »
Peace or Understanding – Day 30
Peace or Understanding? Truth: Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again–rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. [...] Read more »
Do I Need to Forgive the Father? – Day 28
Truth: Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! As when fire sets twigs ablaze and causes water to boil, come down to make your name known to your enemies and cause the nations to quake before you! For when you did awesome things that we did not expect, you came down, and the mountains trembled before you. Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye [...] Read more »
Replacing Lies With the Truth – Day 18
Truth: You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever. Psalm 16:11 (New Living Translation) Thought: Many have lies they choose to believe. These lies come in to help us “heal” wounds that we’ve been afflicted with. It’s not actual healing that occurs; it’s a snare of the enemy to gain a stronghold in our lives. Try this exercise: List 10 words of affirmation that have [...] Read more »
Seek Peace and Pursue it – Day 11
Truth: You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Isaiah 26:3 (New Living Translation) Thought: When we were in New Zealand, everyone was so laid-back compared with what we were used to in North America. When you signaled to change lanes on a busy motorway, people would actually give way to you. It was astounding. Few were in a hurry. “No worries” is the standard reply. No one seemed busy… unless [...] Read more »
How Do We Give the Father Honor?
To understand what the Father has done, let’s take a quick look at Revelation 4… …the twenty-four elders fall down and worship the one sitting on the throne (the one who lives forever and ever). And they lay their crowns before the throne and say, “You are worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power. For you created all things, and they exist because you created what you pleased.” (Rev 4:10-11 NLT) Did you ever wonder [...] Read more »
