Finding Joy in a Vineyard
The first step toward following and serving the Lord is recognizing how utterly helpless we are. Jesus' image of the vine illustrates this truth and shows us that spiritual fruit in our lives comes from total dependence on Him.
Introducing the Holy Spirit
Until we stand one day in the immediate presence of Jesus Christ, we have the assurance and comfort of knowing we have a constant, divine helper, companion, and teacher in the Person of the Holy Spirit.
Learning to Wait
The words and works of Jesus Christ are essential to the Christian faith. They are also foundational for our prayer life, as we learn to pray and wait and trust Him to accomplish His good will.
Comfort for Troubled Hearts
God’s perfect, eternal plan centers on the work of Jesus Christ. God’s work does not have a backup plan because He does not need one. Christ’s work is all-sufficient, and He, and He alone, is the only way to the Father.
How to Kill Anxiety
In a world filled with troubles and trials, it is easy to become anxious about current circumstances and what the future holds. The Lord tells us that the answer to anxiety is the person of Jesus and the promises of God.
Preventing Spiritual Amnesia
The one critical truth we must always cling to and keep before us is the Lord Jesus’ death in our place and for our benefit. Just hours before He went to the cross, the Lord gave us a unique way of remembering that mighty work.
A New Commandment of Love
What do people see when they look at you? If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, the one thing they should see is an undeniable love that reflects the love of your Savior.
A Closer Look at Judas
Judas serves as a warning for all of us. It is very easy to elevate our desires and plans to the point that they take precedence over God's perfect will.
The Most Famous Traitor in Scripture
People who are self-centered are often masters at deceiving others. We need to be alert to such hypocrites; but more than that, we need to guard our own hearts, realizing it is not what others see but what God sees that matters most.
Twelve Pairs of Dirty Feet
Serving Jesus Christ means serving others as He serves us. That requires humility and selflessness, but it always results in true, spiritual happiness.
