If you go too long without food, you will know. Hunger is powerful. It can provide the motivation we need to seek. We use it a lot when we talk about achieving goals. Cultivating and using that hunger gets results. So, when we turn our thoughts to God, it becomes a game-breaking asset. Those who... Continue Reading →
Half-full Christianity
Christianity has now had enough time to build up its traditions and ways of thinking. That is not precisely a good thing. Religion is not just about us humans—what we think and do. It is an interaction between us and the God who created our universe. So when we get used to treating our religion... Continue Reading →
Step Out of the Boat
28. Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” 29. He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat and walked on the waters to come to Jesus. (Matthew 14:24-33) The Disciples were all followers of Jesus. But only one stepped out of the... Continue Reading →
Where Christians Can´t Afford to Fall Short
Today´s Christians have endless teachers, teachings, and zeal for all of it. We know much about our Bibles and the weight they hold. What we fail to do, though, is to become the few who leave it all behind and fall into step behind our Teacher. We cling to all He said but ignore the... Continue Reading →

Pressing Close to God
Have we ever needed to hear from God and felt like we didn´t? Maybe we took our troubles to the Lord in prayer but got no clear answers. When someone asks for something and doesn´t receive it, we tend to doubt God´s willingness to give. These times do not come to us because God is... Continue Reading →
New Life With Christ
We follow Christ only if our cross can put to death our old selves. Keeping our old rights of authority is out of the question. We no longer have a say. But who cares? We gladly give them up. It is a pleasure to sink ourselves into the saving arms of God. No longer do... Continue Reading →
Satisfied With Being Right
Christians are people who have seen a light. They heard of the joys and privileges of looking to God, so they did. But it is not what we know that will save us. It is WHO we know that will. Once we have convinced ourselves, we often study further into Christian truths. We reinforce our... Continue Reading →
Self or God
We have come to the point where our little god self is what everything must bow to. We are entitled to our opinions. They are what matters. We should have everything we want. Even our flaws are to be tolerated. But this way of thinking is worldly. And, it is wrong. It goes contrary to... Continue Reading →
Our Limited Sight
What you see is what you get is a popular statement on earth. But in the light of God´s great plan, it is feeble. It is like attempting to search out the wonders of our existence by shining a torch into the heavens. What we see with our eyes and live through on earth is... Continue Reading →
