March 17, 2021 Contentment in Christ
Envy.
It's not a pretty emotion.
Yet, all the advantages and things others have that you don't can make you down right resentful and discontent.
That's envy.
And it's hard not to feel this way at times in this materialistic world. But God does have an antidote.
As a believer you are a child of God, an heir and a joint heir with Jesus.
Which means everthing that belongs to him belongs to you.
You've been given every spiritual blessing in Christ and everything you need for life and godliness.
One day the world will take notice.
But until then, let these truths be the foundation for your contentment in this materialistic world.
And instead of envy, you can feel thankful for all that have in Jesus.

March 16, 2021 The Kindest Act
My friend James is one of the kindest people I know.
He fits the definition to a tee. He is sympathetic, friendly, gentle and tenderhearted.
But where his kindness shines is in the good deeds he does for others.
He rolls up his sleeves and gets into action to help people in their time of need.
The Bible calls that love.
As Paul wrote, "love is kind."
Here is the good news.
God showed you kindness. He rolled up his sleeves and acted on your behalf.
Listen to these words from Titus but when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us
Your salvation is the kindest act that has ever been done for you.
If you want to be kind to others like my friend James, remember the kindness you've received from God.

March 15, 2021 What is the Gospel?
What is the Gospel?
Ask 100 people this question and you might get 100 different answers.
So, what is the Gospel?
It's the good news about Jesus.
Paul told it this way
Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, he was buried, and was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
Now two thousand years ago Christ Jesus looked down the corridor of time and saw you and your need for forgiveness and life.
And he Christ died so that you could stand before God forgiven and clean.
Then he was buried and raised back to life so that you could be made fully alive in Him.

March 14, 2021 God is Satisfied
Do you know that God is satisfied with everything Jesus Christ accomplished on your behalf?
If so let me ask another question.
Are you satisfied with the work of Jesus Christ on your behalf?
I mean the one who knew no sin stood in your place and suffered punishment for your sins. He turned aside the wrath you justly deserved once and for all.
And God accepted the sacrifice as the final and complete payment.
Now Here is what that means.
Your sins have been judged and punished every last one of them.
Do you believe it?
If so, it means you are satisfied with the work of Jesus just like God is.
That's faith.
Faith that brings rest to the soul and assurance to the heart.
That's what it means to be satisfied with Jesus.

March 13, 2021 The Revelation of Christ
For the past 50 years or so, prophecy buffs have plunged deep into its pages of the Revelation to answer questions like
When is Jesus coming back?Will Christians go through the tribulation?Who is the antichrist?
All intriguing questions.
But here is what I've observed, all this fascination has led mainly to fear and confusion.
That's not what God intends.
So what is this mystery book really about?
It is the revelation of Jesus Christ.
It's about Jesus glorified, sitting at the right hand of God the Father, with all the heavenly host bowing down in worship singing
Holy holy holy is the Lord God almighty, who was and is and is to come.
Read Revelation with this in mind and you will be blessed.

March 12, 2021 The Key to Growing in Christ
Have you ever felt ineffective or unproductive in your Christian life?
I have.
It was like all my spiritual growth came to a screeching halt.
I didn't know the cause until I read these words from Peter's 2nd letter.
"But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins."
If you are not growing, it's because you have forgotten that your sins have been forgiven once and for all.
I know it sounds way too simple. But there is something powerful that happens when a person rests in the finished work of Christ.
So let me encourage you today to stop and remember.
Your sins have been forgiven.
You have been cleansed once and for all.
Never forget these truths. It's the key to growing in Christ.

March 11, 2021 Where are You Going?
Do you know where you are going in life?
As a child of God, your ultimate destination is God's presence.
But what about here and now.
Consider this.
The promised land was Israel's destination.
But it foreshadowed the place God had in mind for you the Sabbath rest.
The writer of Hebrews put it this way.
"There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his."
Jesus has done everything on your behalf for you to experience total forgiveness of sins and to enjoy a personal and intimate relationship with God.
This place of rest is ready and waiting. It's where God wants you to be.
Are you ready to enter by faith.

March 10, 2021 God Never Gives Up
Here is good news God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish.
And as Peter wrote, our Lord's patience means salvation.
Let me ask, what were you like as a person before you trusted Jesus Christ?
I was a mess.
I tried to be good and do the right things, but it never worked out so well for me.
The things I wanted to do, I didn't. And the things I didn't want to do, I did.
I was expecting punishment at any time.
But what I received was something much different. I received salvation.
I bet your story is much the same. No matter how far afield you got, God never gave up on you.
He stuck with you through thick and thin.
And His patience toward you meant salvation.
And that's good news.

March 09, 2021 The Lord is Coming Back
The Lord is coming back.
When, we don't know, but that hasn't stopped groups and individuals from playing "pick that date."
But even the most scholarly theologian is a loser in that game.
As Jesus said, It's not for us to know the times and dates the Father has set.
And besides the New Testament writers wrote about the Lord's return to encourage us and give us hope today.
Can you imagine rejoicing in the Lord or giving thanks in all things if this world is all there is?
Face it the world is a tough place, filled with trials, temptations.
But we can endure knowing what lies ahead that we will be with the Lord forever.
When Jesus returns that's God's business. Take comfort in the the truth that he is coming back for you.

March 08, 2021 Mind Boggling
Is your mind boggled by the fact you belong to Jesus Christ?
Does the love of God still rock your world?
Is there anything in life to you more satisfying than the fellowship you share with God.
Paul raised these questions in his letter to the Philippians to help his readers live out what truly matters in life.
It seems like busyness of life bogged them down and robbed them of the joy of knowing Christ.
Sound familiar.
We've all been there.
Maybe its time to ask these questions and digest what it really means to belong to Christ: to know and experience the love of God and to walk in fellowship with his Spirit.
These are the realities that matter the realities that bring satisfaction and contentment to the soul.
