Their Language Is Praise
The best teachers in any church are not the ones in the pulpit. Rather, they are sitting in the pews right next to us, people who have suffered and yet still worship the Lord.
The High and Low Views of God
Going to the Bible and acknowledging who God is and why we long for him will lead us to repentance and give us right perspective and true peace.
Honoring the Right Authorities
God’s people should not follow the desires of the flesh. By the grace of God, they should submit to proper authority, especially to God and his Word.
At the End of Your Rope
The Lord’s way of escape is reaching the end of our own strength, forsaking human strength or methods, and turning absolutely to God with childlike faith.
The Ministry of Consolation
Suffering people receive the consolation of the Lord. Christ’s voice speaks true comfort to them in their hour of darkness. These sufferers become rich in spiritual resources.
Knowing the Ways of God
In the past, Christians thought of deliverance mainly as physical healing. However, the greatest deliverance will be from fear as God’s people witness to a shaken world.
The Remedy for Selfish Ambition
If believers only look to our own interests, our testimony will be limited at best. If we look to build others up, though, every God-ordained mission will be amply supported.
Why Should They Know God?
Knowing God and understanding his attributes are the greatest skills that believers can pass on to the next generation, and yet we must be purposeful in fulfilling this task.
The Painful Power of Forgiveness
If we do not love other people, we are not yet perfected in God. Where do we get the power to forgive like this? It comes from faith in God’s power to turn our hearts to his truth.
The Power of Belonging
Jesus has power to give to those who are totally and fully his. Don’t strive for power. Desire to belong fully, passionately and humbly to the one your heart yearns for, the Lord.
