Satan and the Son of God stood on the southeastern wall of the temple, more than a hundred feet above the Kidron Valley, and Satan told Jesus to jump into the arms of God.  Jesus refused.  Not because God wouldn’t catch him. He refused because he didn’t have anything to prove to anyone, much less the devil.

Neither do you. In church of all places, Satan will do with you what he did with Jesus.  He will urge you to do tricks, to impress others with your service, to make a show of your faith, to call attention to your good deeds. Satan loves to turn church assemblies into Las Vegas presentations where people show off their abilities rather than boast in God’s.

Don’t be suckered.  You don’t have anything to prove.

War veteran Chad Robichaux uses a story of nearly being captured by the Taliban in Afghanistan to make an important point: when we are at a critical juncture in our life, we need to recognize that fact and then make a move. He calls it being “on the X.” Chad goes on to share how he almost committed suicide while suffering PTSD, and encourages his audience to fight against suicidal thoughts. He concludes by describing how a mission to save his Afghan interpreter turned into a huge evacuation of anyone targeted by the Taliban after American forces left Afghanistan.

Healing Begins Here - Trauma has a way of lingering – not just in memory, but in the body, in patterns of thought, and sometimes even in the way we relate to God. And yet, what has shaped you does not have to define you.

Obedience leads to blessing. Disobedience leads to trouble. Remember Jesus’ parable about the two builders who each built a house? One built on cheap, easy-to-access sand. The other built on costly, difficult-to-reach rock. The second construction project demanded more time and expense. But when the spring rains turned the creek into a gully washer, guess which builder enjoyed a blessing and which experienced trouble?

According to Jesus, the wise builder is whoever hears these sayings of mine and does them. The difference between the two was not knowledge and ignorance, but obedience and disobedience. Security comes when we put God’s precepts into practice. We’re only as strong as our obedience.

Tina's God Shot

Ending No Agenda meant an uncertain financial future, and Tina said yes without hesitation. God has healed her poverty mindset: keep your eyes on the Giver, not the gifts. We are the stewards, and He is the owner.

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.— Philippians 4:19 (NLT)

❓ Question of the Week

Tell me a story about a time you were super competitive. (Adam's hi

When forced to stand at the crossroads of belief and unbelief, God’s people choose belief. God’s people risk believing. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in Joshua’s story. You could argue that the central message of the book of Joshua is this headline: God keeps His promises. Trust Him.

Three times, Joshua declares God did what he said he would do. The Lord gave all he had sworn to give. The Lord gave rest according to all he had sworn to their fathers. Not a word failed of any good thing which the Lord had spoken. All came to pass.

Learn from Joshua. Take a risk. Believe in God. He will do what he has said he will do.
