While we are on this earth, Jesus makes His home within us and His light must shine on others through us. When we enter our final home, taking with us only those good deeds offered up to Jesus, He again provides the light.
The early church was curious about the dates of things to come but Paul reminded them that that day would come without warning. For the unbeliever it will be a dreadful day, but the believer receives power through the spirit to witness until then.
Although we can grieve as Christians, we are not to grieve as those who have no hope. We have the confident expectation of an eternity with our saved loved ones. Believers also have the hope of Christ's return to this Earth at His appointed time.
Goals are good, but peace comes from making it your ambition to live a quiet life. Working with your hands and finding enjoyment in your toil are gifts from God. A quiet life is not lazy, but is doing what you are supposed to and finding peace in it.
We love because He first loved us. God is the teacher of love, and we need to be good students so that we may increase in Agape love--a love that is focused on the needs of others.
Although we all face scarcity, faith is full of surprises and may provide an unknown abundance--an abundance of grace. Such abundance was shown to the woman at the well. Often, God's grace abounds when we give more of ourselves.
Why is God's Faithfulness important and what does it take to be always faithful? Although our faithfulness cannot be compared with God's, we should remember that we are required to live in faith. The word of God provides the reminders we need.
Good praise music can be a way to prepare our hearts to come before the face of God. But for praise to be meaningful, it must be based on God's truth, just as Zechariah's song was. Truth must be the focus of our worship, words, and witness.
The desire of God's heart was to have children with whom He could have fellowship. For this to be possible, Jesus came into the world as a human baby, lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and became a savior. He is also coming again as a judge.
