Do not allow your peace to be dependent on the words of men. Let your peace come from God alone.
– John Wesley

You don't have as many days as you think you do. Hopefully that will cause you think more about what you will do with the time you have on this earth.

Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12

Whether Paul lived or died, he kept his eyes on one thing…Christ. If he died, he knew he would be with Jesus for the rest of eternity. If he lived, his focus was living for Jesus by sharing the Gospel with everyone he met. Let’s let our focus be all about Christ.

For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21

"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him."

Have you ever believed that money and social media likes will satisfy you? In God’s view, contentment isn’t based on what you hold in your hands, but what you hold in your heart. Nothing will truly satisfy you except what you gain from knowing the Lord.

Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. 1 Timothy 6:6-7

If a friend gave you a gift for your birthday, you’d never go thank your neighbor for that gift, because it wasn’t from them. We’ve been given so many gifts by the Creator of the Universe, but we don’t often utter our thanks to Him. Take some time today to look around, and proclaim your thanksgiving to the God who’s worthy of all praise!

Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and come before Him. Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. 1 Chronicles 16:29

10/31/2024

There’s a day coming when every single person on earth will acknowledge the greatness of God. And they will do that by bowing their knees and confessing with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord. Until that day, let’s make it our focus today to proclaim the greatness of our Holy God.

I will show My greatness and My holiness, and I will make Myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord. Ezekiel 38:23

If you’ve ever gone on a hike with someone in the woods, it’s the person ahead of you on the trail that sees the next step. And if you’re a follower of Jesus, He’s the One guiding you on the Way of Holiness. It's a road exclusively for those who choose to live set apart. It’s not for the perfect--it’s for those who follow the perfect One, in hopes that one day they will be like Him.

A highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. Isaiah 35:8

What Family Life song is encouraging you the most right now?

10/29/2024

When something is contaminated, you’re not supposed to go near it. The world we live in is contaminated by sin. The Bible says to set ourselves apart from the world, and focus on pursuing holiness. Only then will others see their own sin and desire to be made clean.

Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God. 2 Corinthians 7:1

10/28/2024

Holiness is one of those virtues that feels a little out of reach because in the Word, God declares, "I am holy." But He also asks us to be holy, like He is holy, because He wants us to be set apart. And from what our verse says today, that can take a lot of effort. But it’s an effort that will give rich rewards!

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the LORD. Hebrews 12:14

If a tree in your yard always produced rotten fruit, you’d probably choose to cut it down. It's not just trees that give bad fruit--people can too! But a good tree bears good fruit and that allows others to taste and see that the Lord is good.

No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.
Luke 6:43-44

The Pharisees put Jesus on the spot when they claimed He was working with Satan to drive out Satan. After Jesus corrected them, He put them on the spot, telling them that in this life, you’re either with Him or you’re against Him. Which side are you on?

Whoever is not with Me is against Me, and whoever does not gather with Me scatters.
Matthew 12:30
