The devil doesn’t care how many church buildings men construct-so long as they are filled with lukewarm preachers and people.

Acts 10:38 says, “See how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth who went about doing good.” He just got up every day and did good. Everywhere he went, even though he had a purpose and he was headed somewhere, he let himself be interrupted by the needs of people. So often we study the steps of Jesus. Maybe we need to study the stops of Jesus. The things that he stopped for, the things that interrupted his plan, where he would alter his plan and help somebody here and there.

MissiRepChrist: Leap of Faith :)
Good Afternoon : ) !
“Living in the Sin building may seem pleasant for a while, but it’s a firetrap, and eventualy, it will burn down around you. Thankfully, there is a way of escape: the saving grace of Jesus.” -Joyful Toon

Insert yourself into every biblical story rather than letting the story point to Me. After all, the bible is about you.

: Miracle
In Luke 18, there is the story of the rich young ruler, who came to Jesus about inheriting eternal life. Jesus tells Him that He must keep the commandments, which the ruler is confident that he has—but then Jesus tells him to sell everything to give to the poor. It says that the…
The enemy lies to make the problems we face appear larger than the solutions we carry.

We live in a time in which Christians are more afraid of being called “religious” than they are of seeing their generation go to hell.

My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

I just wonder what it would do in your heart and your mind if you really believe that God delighted in you.

Now, listen to me. This might set some of you free.
Do you ever get up in the morning, and you have your quiet time, and feel the presence of God, and you’re studying the Word, and God seems to speak to you, and you go out and you witness to everybody, and you’re obedient, and, boy, you just did it right that day. I mean, you were just on top of the world. You loved your wife, you didn’t kick the cat, you’re just—you’re walking with God. And you’re so full of joy at the end of the day.
And the next day you get up; well, you overslept, you shouldn’t have watched that program the night before, you should’ve been in the word, you didn’t witness when you had an opportunity, and there’s a real sense in which you’re filled with sorrow.
Do you know what that is? Idolatry. You have become the source of your own joy. Your joy comes from you and your continuous work. My joy comes from the finished work of Jesus Christ.
