Who can say, “I have made my heart clean…”?
Proverbs 20:9
Morning
Who can say, “I have made my heart clean …”?

The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is none who does good, no, not one. § Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

To will is present with me, but how to preform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will do, I do not do; but..

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.
Malachi 3:16
Morning
Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another,
and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of
remembrance was written before Him for those who
fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.

So it was, while they conversed and reasoned, that Jesus Himself drew near and..

He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine
and making it known to you.

John 16:14
Our life is drastically different from the unsaved population of the world. It is way different than any of us can even perceive. We taste the edge of what has happened in our lives and it is annihilating. What makes our lives so different? We are actually inhabited by Christ. His Spirit is in us and on us, there couldn’t be anything more profound. The scary thing is this, some people think Christ is in..

How to Defend the Gospel from Its Enemies—and Friends

0 Comment

If we believe that the truth of the gospel matters—and we who identify with TGC do—then how should we speak about, tweet about, and argue against false teachers who lead people away from the truth? And how do we talk about true teachers who mistakenly counteract their own theology?

Defending the gospel against both its enemies and, at times, its friends is not easy. On the one hand, we desire not to be cowards; on the other hand, we desire not to be provocateurs.

How can we find our way? Here ..

Is. 26:3 – You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

Let’s face it, the world is filled with trouble. People are filled with trouble, and if we aren’t careful, their troubles will swallow us up. It is a promise but a tricky endeavor to be in the world but not of it. Have you found the key to that kind of life? It boils down to this, you have to be filled with a supernatural peace to be unaffected by the world. How do you get there? That’s the tricky p..

The Kind of Friend Every Leader Needs

Does leadership have to be a lonely venture? Listen to some of the most prominent voices on leadership, within Christian circles and beyond, and you will be reminded that leadership more often than not brings with it a measure of aloneness.

The leader will, at times, find himself or herself standing alone. And the experience can make one feel as though there is no one else who fully understands the burden of decisions and pressure. A 2012 survey reported half of all CEOs expressed feelings of l..

Key Passage”What great blessings there are for the people that are humble! They will have the land {God promised}.”
— Matthew 5:5 ERV (Read Full Text)
Key ThoughtEverything in our culture and experience says the meek and the humble will get run over and will be targets for bullies. But God says these are the very ones to receive the earth as an inheritance. Why? Because their strength comes from their dependence upon God and not upon worldly power, an accumulation of possessions, or unleashed vi..

PassageRomans 9:25-33
PrayerDear Father, ruler of the ages,You have called we who were “not your people” to be “your people,” we who were “not your beloved” to be “your beloved.” How gracious you have been to us (to me!) that we (that I!) should be called “sons of the living God”! Thank you, loving Father! I am overjoyed!Why did your ancient people fail to attain your righteousness? Because they sought it based on their works of merit under the law. But, praise you, Lord, you have give..

Not Everybody Likes You or Me (And It’s Okay)

0 Comment

The desire to be liked and approved of by others runs deep in most of us. Maybe all of us. We are wired for connection to other humans. We are made to be in meaningful relationships. And when we know or sense that someone in our sphere of influence doesn’t like us, it hurts.

From the time we start school as young children, we do whatever we can to gain the acceptance and approval of others.

If we’re nerdy, we play the smart card.
If we’re goofy, we play the fun card.
If we’re athletic, we play..

VerseAnd pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
— Ephesians 6:18-20 NIV
ThoughtWhen we open the book of Acts, we see the power of the Holy Spirit helping ear..
