Our Christian lives must be lived coram deo: in the presence of God. By implication, this also means under the authority of God and to the glory of God. Let's learn how we can do this from a few principles found in Ephesians 5!

John tells his listeners to test the spirits. We can know what is false because we have the truth in us. So then, do not be deceived! If you have willingly received, you will not willingly be deceived

Right at the beginning of Nicodemus's meeting with Jesus, we see a man clouded by his fleshy perspective. He's interested in the signs and wonders. Jesus, however, is interested in the Kingdom of God

The Bible tells us that all things work together for the good of those who love God. This is still a promise for us in 2024. Let's unpack it together!

Do love as much as you say love. Pray in obedience and what is pleasing to God. And be assured, His Spirit lives in us and we in Him!

It would be poor form as Christians to enter 2024 without making spiritual growth a priority. Let's have a look at the type of Christians we can be when we go to church and discuss what we really want from church. My prayer is that we will grow in our faith in 2024!

Paul's work in Corinth demonstrates a man devoted to the Lord. In his work, he had his priorities right. When things didn't work out, he didn't just sit idly by and do nothing. He made changes: small changes. Let's learn from Paul!

God made us all unique. With that uniqueness comes a specific skill set. As we end off the year, let's reflect on where we've compared ourselves with others and stop trying to be the best at everything. God has given you YOUR thing. Do it!

After asking "how long, Lord", the Psalmist recognizes that without God's light in his eyes, he is nothing. He also ends by declaring his trust in God's unfailing love. What a wonderful thing to remember: we need His light and His salvation!

The December holidays (or "Christmas time") is more often than not a difficult period for many people. It might be a time of extreme financial stress, or the first year without a loved one. How do we cope through the heartache? Like the old man Simeon in the temple, we wait on God!
