Change the World Right Now

I can change the world right now! And so can you. You can help me. The more people do what I’m going to say, the more the world would change. And even if it was just me and you, it would change our world. Are you ready? Here it is: We need to spend less time fighting what we think are other people’s sins, and more time fighting our own sins. We need to spend less time fighting what we think are other people’s sins, and more time fighting our own sins.

Knowing God’s Presence

In Hebrews 13:5, God says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Many Christians take that promise as a means of comfort. But we should also take it as a means of conviction. And a means of courage.  

Hear what God is saying to you when he says I’ll never leave you or forsake you. Comfort – He loves you, he feels your pain, and he’s not leaving you.  Conviction – He guides you to come towards him, not towards sin. Courage – He knows your situation, and he is with you to help you.    

You can know a lot of facts about God. You can know a lot of theology. Those are good things to learn. But you should also learn to nurture the sense of living Coram Deo – which means “before the face of God,” or “in God’s presence.” Always, at all times, in all places, and all situations, God sees you, knows you, and loves you. Knowing God’s presence will change your life.

He Gets Us. Do We Get Him?

I’m sure you’ve seen the ads on commercials, billboards, or the Internet, that says “He gets us.” And it means that Jesus gets us. The ad shows people who are misfits, outcast, downtrodden, marginalized, and oppressed. And the idea is that Jesus knows what that’s like and what you’re going through. And that’s true. But that’s not the whole message. Because there’s more to it than just that. I mean, are we just misfits in society? Or are we also defiant rebels against God? And so yes, Jesus gets us. He understands us and what we’re up against. But he doesn’t just get us. He wants to take us and make us into someone that understands him. Yes, Jesus gets you. But do you get him?
