Fix My Heart!
My heart can turn toward the word of God, or it can turn toward selfish gain. Is it really so black and white?
Simple Faith
Faith is a conscientious act. Christian faith is defined by the Bible. And I should live out that spiritual reality in my life every day through my simple obedience.
Whose Agenda
it’s not that God does not want to bless us. It’s not that God does not want us to experience the good things of this world. It’s not that God does not want us to gain wisdom. He does! It’s just that God wants us to experience the goodness and the blessings of life as we pursue His purpose in this world—as we seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.
Heart Surgery
We need God to remove the heart of stone that is in us. Our hearts become calloused and hardened whenever we seek first the things of this world. … We need God to put a new heart of flesh in us, one that beats with the blood of Christ pumping through its ventricles. … Without God performing His surgery on our hearts, we cannot be His people, and He will not be our God.
My Longing
I am sick to death of sickness and death. I long for the day when the trials and tribulations and the tragedies of this world will be no more—not just for myself, but for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. But what about those people who do not call on the name of the Lord?
Perfect Citizens-NOT
God’s kingdom operates according to the rules of His kingdom. Repentance is simply agreeing to live according to the rules of God’s kingdom. Why would God allow anyone into His kingdom (where salvation is found) who refuses to live according to the rules of His kingdom? Of course, living in God’s kingdom does not mean that we are all perfect little citizens, either.
Resisting Entropy
Many people in this world rant and rave against Christianity, when they have never really experienced a relationship with Jesus Christ. But what is more sad is when unloving people in churches (who don’t really have a relationship with Jesus Christ) are the reason that many people abandon the church to become ranters and ravers against the faith.
