Be Patient Until the Lord’s Coming (James 5:7-8)

For a little while longer, He’s called you to live out your faith in this world of sorrow. It needs you. If it didn’t, He would already have taken you to heaven. There’s more good He wants to do through you, more people He wants to love through you, and more of His light He wants to shine through you. So, He led James to write you this simple encouragement…

Margin for 2019

The other night, my wife and I were in Dallas celebrating our anniversary.  We were dressed for a very nice dinner and a show. We were headed home and I was tired. Walking to the car, we saw a lady in an SUV parked near us who couldn’t get her car started. I kept walking. […]

Face It: We All Stumble (James 3:2)

You and I can be surprised or depressed by how often we stumble or how badly. God isn’t. “The Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For he knows what we are made of, remembering that we are dust” (Psa. 103:13-14). Our blunders haven’t discouraged Him…

Believing and Doing

You and I can exercise the faith of Abraham… What God calls us to do doesn’t have to make sense – it didn’t to Abraham. He decided that he would do what God commanded not because it made sense but because God said it. That’s what makes it faith.

How Do You Want to Be Known? (James 1:1)

Why is it so important to us that others realize how much we know, how much we’ve done, and how impressive we are? Why do we so need to have titles and to give them to our leaders? Why isn’t it enough to be known simply as servants of Christ? Why isn’t that the highest honor we could covet?

Responding to Christmas

“When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about (Luke 2:15, NIV).” The shepherds give us a great example to follow when we hear God’s word.  They responded immediately.  We […]

A Satisfied Life (Heb. 13:5-6)

If you’re like me, you’ve sometimes wondered if God has lost your address or if He has lost interest. He hasn’t. Today’s passage explains three things you can do, even in the midst of scarcity, to “Be satisfied with what you have.”

Keep Going. You Can Make It! (Heb. 12:1-2)

God has laid out a unique race course for your life and for mine, and He tells us to “Run in such a way to win the prize” (1 Cor. 9:24). Today’s verses provide five essentials for those of us who want to finish well.

Impressing God (Heb. 11)

Faith impresses God. In the entire Bible, Jesus was “amazed” only twice: at a Centurion’s faith and at His hometown’s lack of it … Faith is acting on what God says rather than on what we see.

Where’s the Real King?

“After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:1-2, NIV) Try to imagine, for […]

Christ Defeats All His Enemies (Heb. 10:12-13)

The headline has already been written and will, at the proper time, be emblazoned across the universe: “Christ Defeats All His Enemies.”
Today’s passage explains why our Lord’s victory is not yet obvious.
