Can we know for sure what God is calling us to in life, and furthermore, what exactly is meant by God's calling? Each person has an individual call that God is placing on them, but it is up to each of us to learn to discern His voice? How do we do that?

Does it take more grace to be redeemed out of heathenism or out of religionism? Paul was a fiercely devout man of religion, but also the chief of sinners. Thank God that His grace is sufficient for the sinner in the back alley of Sin Town and the sinner on the front pew of the church!

"Give Him the Glory," written by Evangelist Kurt LaBouve, is one of many songs available from this singer/songwriter. Check it out at...

As Paul begins to address the purpose of his writing he names, not only the shocking turn of the people to believing a false gospel, but he names at least four problems in this early church experience that we must still guard against in our day. The enemy is real and always at work. He does the most damage by bringing doctrine that looks, feels, and sounds closest to the truth.

Memorial Day is the time for Americans to reconnect with their history and core values by honoring those who gave their lives for the values and freedoms we cherish. More than a million American service members died in the wars and conflicts this nation has fought since the American Revolution in 1775 to fight for independence, to the ambiguous frontlines of the War on Terror today, still protecting liberty.

We in this country owe a great debt of gratitude to those who sacrificed their lives so that we can live free. We can start to pay that debt by not forgetting, and by remembering what the did and stood for.

As we finish the week of discussion on how to treasure Christ in the heart we take time to answer a few questions that came up about this very important topic. But first, we have a little weekend news and fun for you!

There are two things to emphasize for the sake of encouraging one another:

1. We truly want to live this way, as treasuring Christ above all else (we do, and you do).

2. It is challenging for all of us because the world is vying for our most precious resource, our attention!

As a lead into this third part of the discussion on how to treasure Christ, we discuss these aspects of discipleship in a difficult world.

It is a fair question, "How?" We may genuinely want to treasure Christ in our heart above all else, but how do we do this? The answer is not complicated; it is not magic, it is not super ascetism, it is not mystical, it is actually very down to earth, very practical, and very doable, but we must be intentional, and we must be willing, and the prayer of our heart must be like that of Asaph in Psalm 73:25-26, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."

Jesus tells us to "lay up our treasure in heaven." Why? Because wherever our treasure is, that is where our heart will be, and ultimately, that is his greatest interest, our heart! The greatest treasure our heart can hold is the loving, valuing, and desiring of Christ above everything else. But how can we do that? What does it look like to treasure Christ above all else?

God has designed our heart to have a life of its own. It has desires, impulses, goals, and longings all of its own. What are we to do? Learn to allow the life of our good heart, given to us by God, to live out in every way through our lives!
