Do you send a message to all of those you come in contact with that you are for God and not against Him? Today Pastor Mark will challenge listeners to consider their commitment to Christ. As the end times approach, the faith of all believers will be tested more than ever before. Are you ready for that? Does your life today reflect one that is completely committed to Christ? The decisions you make today will shape your decisions and habits in the future. The Lord is looking for followers who are willing to choose Him first, no matter the pressure, no matter the circumstance.

What does Scripture tell us about the coming antichrist and tribulation period? Today Pastor Mark will use the book of Daniel, and the experiences of Israel, to teach listeners about what to expect in the last days. Throughout history, Israel has been at the center of attention, and in the end times, that will not change. During the seven year tribulation, the antichrist will show glimpses of greatness to deceive the multitudes, and eventually show his true colors. The great hope that Christ followers have today, is that we will be spared God’s judgment, because we have chosen Him!

Trust in your personal Lord with all of your heart today!

Do you believe today that you are worthy to be loved by God? He desires a relationship with you! Today Pastor Mark will teach listeners about the importance of confession. One of the big reasons that holds people back from repentance, is that they believe God could never love them. There is nothing you can do to earn God’s love, it is a free gift. The enemy will try and convince you otherwise. Believe the truths of Scripture, and the examples of those in it. God desires fellowship with everyone. All you have to do is confess your need for Him, and believe that He conquered sin on the cross.

How do you approach prayer in your Spiritual life? Do you view it as an ongoing conversation between you and God? Or do you only practice it in when you really need something? Today Pastor Mark will encourage listeners to follow Daniel’s example when it comes to their relationship with the Lord. Daniel prayed daily, and valued God’s Word. He could more easily discern the Lord’s will because he was devoted to his prayer life. How would you rate your devotion to prayer and God’s Word today? Are they just a part of your life, or have you made them the foundation of your life?
