Dear Subscriber, Are you still there?
Devotion – God, a very present help in trouble
Shifting our trust from things to God is something that we need to learn as believers. It starts with understanding who God is and how empty the things of this word are. Thankfully, God has provided us with his word, which helps us understand his many characteristics.
A smoking christian, my deliverance from addiction.
If you identify as a smoker and are a Christian, you are deceiving yourself if you think your born-again identity and the addiction can share the same space in peace. They will always be at war with each other, whether you feel it or not.
Could you be deceiving yourself?
James gets to the heart of the matter so we know exactly where we stand. Be doers and not just hearers of the word, deceiving ourselves. We are to go beyond reading and hearing the bible, especially when it gives us instructions, and if we don’t, there is a problem.
Clean up your bible reading with some soap.
There are certainly seasons we can go through when it comes to engaging with the word, but it is important that that believer makes it a habit of going deeper into scripture. Thankfully there are lots of resources to help us...
Abiding in Christ -More than just hanging
Abiding in Christ daily is much more than doing what we think we should do, and more about who we are as the church. We are branches and if we are to produce any kind of good fruit, we are to remain in Jesus as long as it’s called today.
The walls of self control – God provides
Self-control is often seen as something that gets in the way of enjoying life, but can we keep saying, “it’s too hard” or I don’t know how to do it”.The truth is, we have been given everything we need to participate, and God’s provisions to help us, to no longer live like cities broken into and left without walls.
It’s time to check your plans
Jonah is a great example of God's Purposes standing above our own plans. You may not end up in the belly of a sea creature, but if God needs to get your attention because your plans have nothing to do with his, he will.
The walls of self control – They won’t build themselves.
The book of Proverbs tells us, that when we are without self-control, we are like a city broken into and left without walls. Thankfully, God has provided instructions for us in the book of Romans that help us to build the walls of self-control.
Turning off survival mode in difficult seasons
If you are reading this and are preparing for a tough time, or already in one, then i want to encourage you, as a follower of Christ, to live and not just survive during this chapter in your life.
