Revelation 3:1-6 holds a haunting reality. Your spiritual life can be in grave danger, and you can be totally unaware. At that moment, you are in a state of spiritual stupor, and Christ condemns this state as He addresses the church in Sardis.

Do you ever feel ashamed of the gospel or simply fearful to share it? In Romans 1:15-18, Paul reminds the church that the very nature of the gospel should embolden us to proclaim because it evidences God's power to save anyone and apply the righteousness of Christ that transforms a person's life.

Hebrews 4:14-16

The Christian life resembles an unconquerable marathon. There are twists and bends, uphill climbs, and deep valleys that all pressure the Christian to give up hope. In 2 Timothy 4, Paul writes to his young protege to teach him there are three ways to run this race, but only two of them receive eternal rewards.

Revelation 5:8-14 depicts a glorious worship scene that continually broadens until every living thing is involved in worshipping the Son. Creation's worship of the Son condemns weak and shallow worship and demands that you deepen your worship.

How can we avoid worthless worship? Let's take a lesson from the priests in Malachi 1

Christians often face a cycle of ups and downs in their spiritual lives. One moment they are growing by leaps and bounds, and in an instant, they feel despair overtaking their lives.

In 2 Corinthians 2:5-13, Paul addresses a difficult situation in the church. The church had failed to obey in the area of discipline, but now they had gone too far and refused to forgive. What are the consequences of refusing to forgive, and what does God expect from us in these situations?

In 2 Chronicles 2:11 King Hiram tells King Solomon that he is convinced of GOd's love for Israel because God made Solomon king. Could an unbeliever say something similar to you?
