God does Big Things with Small Deeds

God inhabits the tiny seed, empowers the tiny deed. He cures the common life by giving no common life, by offering no common gifts. Don't discount the smallness of your deeds.

You are Not a Victim of Your Thoughts

If today’s thoughts are tomorrow’s actions, what happens when we fill our minds with thoughts of God’s love?

Unto the Least of These

“He will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.” Matthew 25:45

All About Me

Help me, Lord, to relate to you and others not on the basis of material possessions. May my vision increasingly be like yours. 1 Samuel 16:7 "Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

Resources

By faith we need to gladly, freely, fully, and gratefully cast ourselves upon His resources without reservation—He is the all-sufficient One Who never changes, Who never faints or grows weary, Who never slumbers or sleeps, and Who is the keeper of His people from this time forth and forever more.

Two Sticks of Dynamite

I remember the day a couple called me over to pray with them in a specific situation. I made the appointment. I listened. And I prayed. Yet when I left I had the sense that my prayer had not gone past the ceiling. I felt frustrated.

Posture of Prayer

To be honest, I have wrestled a lot with this thing called prayer. *Why does God want us to pray when He knows what we need even better than we know ourselves? *What good does my prayer even do? Who am I to change God’s mind or challenge Him on His ideas?

Ask What You Will

Prayer has always been the breath, life, vitality, strength and power of the Christian. Beginning with our Lord, who spent much time in prayer, and continuing with the disciples and fruitful, Spirit-filled Christians through the centuries, prayer remains a major emphasis in the life of every believer.

Faith Believes

Faith believes that what God says will take place without a shadow of a doubt. Faith believes that we will see the promises of God unfold even when it looks impossible. Faith believes in what we can’t see, and knows it is there.

Attribution Error

As Christians, we’re not to drag our brothers and sisters before God to be punished or examined under a holy microscope. We are to forgive them, just as Christ forgave all of us on the hard wood of the cross as He bled for us…and them, too. After all, we probably need forgiveness for something we have done or said, too.

The Power of Worship

As we walk through these challenging days of change in our world, both globally and personally, I am amazed with the direction the Lord gives us in His word. I was comforted by the fact that God has already let us know in Hebrews 12:26 that everything that can be shaken will be shaken so that only that which cannot be shaken will stand.

Changing Our Nature

God is changing you from the inside out. Ezekial 36:26-27 “I will put a new way of thinking inside you. I will take out the stubborn hearts of stone from your bodies, and I will give you obedient hearts of flesh. I will put my Spirit inside you and help you live by my rules and carefully obey my laws”

God is Mysterious

There’s much about God we don’t understand. Why didn’t He stop the earthquake or the tsunami? Why doesn’t He protect innocent children? Why do the wicked prosper? C.S. Lewis writes: "You can’t analyze God. He is too awesome, too big, too mysterious,”

Praise God for Answered Prayer

Praise is the most heavenly of Christian duties. The angels do not pray, but they never cease to praise both day and night. To be silent over God's mercies is to incur the guilt of ingratitude

Faith is an Action Word

Are you, like Martha, standing face to face with an insurmountable problem? Yes, you believe all the right things about Jesus, but are you willing to trust Him completely? Even now - with this present problem?

A Bit like Pharaoh?

Are we all not a bit like Pharaoh? Father, I pray that I would not be like Pharaoh with his hard heart, but instead give me a soft heart that is quick to turn back to You. Amen.
