Christian, in prayer and in fasting remember where your true source of nourishment lies. Jesus will fill the deep-seated hunger in your soul. Stop searching for joy and happiness in earthly things and turn to Jesus.
If you are harbouring resentment and unforgiveness, it is because you have forgotten the grace of God in Jesus. When you truly experience the grace of God in Christ Jesus, it will make you gracious towards others.
Until you know God as Father you cannot truly pray. Come to God with child-like wonder. Marvel at things you might have taken for granted. The more that you pray the more you will realize that everything you have is grace.
You don’t need to win an audience with God, you already have him. You have a Father who made you, cares for you and knows you better than you know yourself. So pray to Him with vulnerability and an open heart.
If your picture of paradise is endless relaxation and amusement, then you have been sold a lie. Man was made to work and it is only through work that our rest has any true meaning or value.
God is the one who brings order from chaos. You can see this order and beauty in his elegant universe. Watch as R.D. Glenn opens Genesis 1:1-2:3 and explores creation and our Creator.
Who is God? He has revealed himself, through His Word, to be the Good, Holy and Living God.
The authority of God’s word is central to the Christian life. Don’t put yourself over scripture, instead live under it. Let it lay bare your heart and show you the glory of Christ.
The cross is the measure of Christ’s humility. He did not consider anything beneath him. He went all the way down for you and me. Your life is founded on the humble saviour.
You are not defined by sin and failure, you are defined by the will of God, so receive and believe the good news of Jesus and be born of God.
