Once we become Christians, the devil does not give up but rather he fights harder for us to be pulled back into the sins of our past. When we start to feel that pull we need to ask God to give us the wisdom to see the way of escape and to take it. We also need to help others who have been pulled back out and are drowning to get back to the shore.

Just because we receive salvation and become spiritually alive doesn’t mean we are spiritually living. It’s a daily choice to not just wake up physically but to wake up spiritually and offer our lives to God to use as He pleases in the world He has us in for a reason.

We all have certain sins that we keep falling into whether frequently or on occasions. When Jesus lives inside of us He gives us the power to overcome those sins if we would just tap into Him.

When God calls us to give our lives to Him, He does not intend for us to follow Him alone. We need to be involved with other people, letting them into our lives to keep us accountable. That is the only way that we will be able to stand strong against the attacks of the devil and to continue to remain in God’s truth, unwavering.

The world is full of people who will try to get us off course when we make the decision to follow Jesus. It is essential that we study and learn Scripture and that we have godly people around us to help teach and protect us. As Christians, we have the most protection of all because we are held in God’s hands.

When we face difficult times, it’s easy for us to fall into the mindset that no one cares about us or what we’re going through. Scripture tells us that God cares for us, provides for us, meets all of our needs and wants to be with us in close relationship as we walk through the trials of this life. Instead of sitting there questioning if anyone cares, we need to believe what He says is true and walk with Him.

We are all born once into this world, but if we stay born once we will die twice, first our bodies in this world and then our soul in eternity. If we get born a second time by salvation through Jesus Christ who overcame death, then we will only die once as our bodies in this world die but our soul will live forever with Him in eternity.

We don’t have to understand how prayer works, but we do have to trust God when He tells us to pray. The Bible tells us to pray without stopping, meaning that we need to be constantly open to the Holy Spirit prompting us to pray, whether it be for our own situations or for other people.

There are numerous passages in the Bible that talk about giving money to the church. Although we may choose to keep our money from the church, we end up spending it somewhere else anyway. Everything we have really does belong to God, so we should obey Him by giving the first fruits to the church, and allow Him to direct us in how to use the rest of it.

Mothers often show an example of putting others before themselves. However, mothers are not the only ones called to this way of thinking. The Bible teaches us to think of others above ourselves in all situations.
