Tom the Preacher

It's essential to recognize that faith in God is not only the foundation of our salvation, but it's also fundamental to our spiritual growth. It's easy to think that our faith is why God wipes away our sins, but after giving us a new start that we're on our own. In fact, it's natural to revert back from faith in God to faith in ourselves. But we're not called to live a "natural" life; we're called to a supernatural life!

What makes God's promises so precious and magnificent? 
For one, they enable us to become partakers of the divine nature. 
Think of that!
I sometimes hear believers say, "The only difference between me and an unbeliever is that I'm forgiven and they're not." I know what they're trying to say. They want to emphasize God's grace and mercy, and that's good. But if you believe in Jesus and follow Him, you are different. You are becoming a partaker of the divine nature!!!!

I love huge trees.
Full-grown oaks and sycamores are so majestic. And if you've never seen the giant redwoods in California, you must put this on your bucket list. These ancient trees project strength, stability, and perseverance. They didn't achieve their greatness overnight; these granddaddies were planted long ago and have endured acts of nature that would have taken out lesser trees. Needless to say, these stately trees inspire me. I hope someday people will say of me, "Tom was like a mighty oak -- an oak of righteousness!"
I hope that will be said of you, too.

God has equipped us with all the spiritual armor we need in order to prevail over our spiritual enemies. From the first piece of that armor (girding our loins with truth) to the last (the sword of the Spirit -- the word of God), we see the importance of truth. Our enemy is a liar and a deceiver. We are of the truth. 
Here's some good news: Truth wins the battle. Knowing this is how I can be so bold and confident when I'm challenged by skeptics on campus; I'm supremely confident that I'm on the winning side -- the side of truth.
But even though we have the truth, it seems the side of deceit and deception often wins the day. Why is that?
Join me for Today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn the answer.

The story is told of the great evangelist D.L. Moody, who prayed fervently for more faith. One day, he read today's verse, "faith comes from hearing the word of Christ," and he discovered the part he needed to play for his prayer to be answered.

Have you ever been surprised to discover someone who you thought would have no interest in God, actually was quite interested? 
This happens to me fairly often. I see someone who seems quite happy with the world, or who seems too busy to give thought to spiritual matters. Or maybe someone who seems so caught up in sin that he would be deadened to any interest in God.
But Scripture says God "has set eternity in their heart," which means we shouldn't be surprised by someone who expresses a spiritual interest. In fact, we ought to expect it!
