A P R I L 2 4 “I beseech you therefore . . . that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” — Romans 12:1

Total Surrender

Many Christians live their whole lives without ever fully grasping some of the great spiritual truths of God. Foremost among these truths is that God wants to bless our lives. Anything other than that is alien to Him, for God acts out His true nature when He blesses His children. He is a God of all grace who wants nothing more than to make His love known to us. He delights in opening the windows of Heaven and pouring blessings upon us,... More

A P R I L 2 3 “So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My rest’” — Hebrews 4:3

Entering The Promised Land

Have you ever had a relationship with someone who didn’t have faith in you? If so, how did you feel, knowing you would never fail that person yet that person failed to trust you? God feels the same way when we don’t believe in His power or desire to bless us. God feels pleased when we have faith in Him, and He feels angry when we don’t. In fact, our unbelief often short-circuits the blessings He has in store for us.... More

A P R I L 2 2 “For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.” — Matthew 25:29

He Didn’t Lift Us Up To Let Us Down

Does this text seem fair to you? After all, why would someone who has an abundance get more? And shouldn’t the person with nothing receive something? Jesus described the principle of this passage on five separate occasions in different forms. This verse is the basis for the principle of use: “Use it or lose it.” We see this principle at work in a variety of contexts. For example, in the physical realm, the arm of the... More

A P R I L 2 1 “Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes.” — Song of Solomon 2:15

Little Things

In the Song of Solomon, we read of little foxes that ruin the vineyards. What are “little foxes”? I see them as the small things that don’t seem important but can spoil “tender grapes” such as a relationship, a career, or a life dedicated to Christ. How many marriages have failed because spouses paid no attention to the little things? How many athletes have lost competitions because of tiny bobbles or missteps?... More

A P R I L 2 0 “They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us . . .” — 1 John 2:19

Apostasy

Do you know someone who once seemed on fire for the Lord but then backslid into spiritual oblivion? If so, then you know the grief of watching someone slip from God’s grasp, especially when that person is someone you love. You might wonder what this person’s eternal future will be, hoping God’s grace continues to cover him or her. But you also might wonder whether this person was truly a Christian in the first place.... More

A P R I L 1 9 “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” — Philippians 4:4

Happy In The Holy Spirit

Have you ever noticed that people who are constantly morose and miserable just don’t seem to get along with others? Everywhere the gloomy person goes, he or she runs into interpersonal problems such as rejection and poor treatment. On the other hand, have you ever noticed that happy people don’t seem to have many enemies? A joyful person finds very few relational problems. This type of person doesn’t quickly take offense and...

A P R I L 1 8 “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” — Romans 8:31

If God Be For Us

We cannot possibly fail with Christ’s love in our corner. Paul says, in what I call the “Golden Shield” of faith, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Who can fight against us and succeed? No one. God’s love shields us from all attacks of the Evil One and his followers. Despite such attacks, we are safe and secure for eternity. Who can be against us? The world, the flesh, and the Devil may try to... More
