Great Things For God Always Involve God's Power
Well-meaning Christians often try to accomplish good things
for God based on their own strength and wits. I’ve tried to do this many times.
Um… it doesn’t work very well. Perhaps you’ve noticed. When great things are
done for God, it is always based on the leading and power of the Holy Spirit.

God Understands Our Pain
In Psalm 147:3, the Bible says that God “heals the broken
hearted and binds up their wounds.” If you think, “Yeah, but He doesn’t really
understand my pain.” Remember this, the Christian faith teaches that we have a
God who has wounds. He does understand!

Maturity Or Comfort?
God is more concerned about our growth, development and
maturity than He is about our comfort.

Prosperity And Religious Faith
“…[P]rosperity gives one a sense of self-sufficiency; we are
doing well and feel that we don’t really need God. By contrast, the poor feel a constant sense
of vulnerability, and consequently a need to depend on God. No wonder religious faith and practice are
much higher in third-world countries than in the West.” – Dinesh D’Souza.

God Is Not Ordinary
“The Hebrew word translated as ‘profane’ basically means ‘to
treat as common or ordinary.’” –Dwight Edwards.
When we live our lives in such a way that we treat God as something
ordinary we “profane” His name. God is
special. He is not ordinary; He is
extraordinary in ways that are even beyond our comprehension. It’s good, right and helpful for us to
remember that!

Getting Beyond Our Circumstances
If you are happy, joyful, peaceful, or experiencing a strong
sense of hopefulness right now, that has more to do with how you’re thinking
and what you believe—especially what you believe about God—than it has to do
with your current circumstances. I’m not
saying that the circumstances don’t matter. They do matter. But what we think about the circumstances
matters even more.

Serving Others Is Part Of A Well Lived Life
One of the important characteristics of a well-lived and
healthy life is a willingness to see beyond our own self-interest and help
others. “Each of you should use whatever
gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in
its various forms.” -- 1 Peter 4:10

The Hard Way Or The Easy Way
Sometimes, it feels like God says, “We can do this the hard
way or we can do this the easy way. It’s
up to you.” On numerous occasions I have
chosen to do it the hard way. But even
then God is patient, kind and gracious.
I can be a bit slow, but I’m learning.

Surprised To Come To Christ
There have been times when people have been very surprised
to find themselves coming to faith in Christ.
They didn’t think such a thing was possible. At one time, they considered something like
faith in Christ to be silly or laughable; the refuge of the weak. But recognizing our need for God is not silly
or weak it is what happens when the light is turned on and suddenly we can see.
