Do you remember the moment you gave your heart to Jesus? What a moment that was, huh? In that moment, you confessed Him as the Lord of your life. But what does confessing Him as Lord actually mean? Yes, when we pray, we call Him Lord. But as we live, is He really Lord inContinue reading “It’s Friday…It’s Just An Illusion”

Wisdom is a rare commodity in our world today, isn’t it? We have plenty of smart people – geniuses, in fact – but few who are wise. And our culture hardly knows the difference. We value status, fame, wealth, a good reputation, companionship, and achievement – not all bad in themselves. But none of themContinue reading “It’s Friday…It Is Well Worth It”

Words are powerful, aren’t they? They can wound the spirit of another, often leaving permanent scars. They can sow seeds of corruption in innocent or wavering minds. They can stain good reputations and frustrate good plans. They can carry a profound blessing; but they can also carry a powerful curse. The apostle Peter learned aboutContinue reading “It’s Friday…Reflect God’s Reality”

Ever been stressed? Ever had people hound you? Anyone ever spread lies about you? Ever had people view you with contempt? Ever felt like everything seemed bleak? Ever felt ashamed and beaten down? Some of us have experienced one of these. Most of us haven’t experienced all of these at once like David in theContinue reading “It’s Friday…Take A Deep Breath”

It’s convenient to be modern. King Asa of Judah in the Old Testament was the great-grandson of King Solomon; he was a remarkable modern man. No, he didn’t have the technology or the historical perspective that we have today, but his approach to his problem-solving would have fit our modern era easily. Though Asa hadContinue reading “It’s Friday…Our First Resort”

He began to learn the language. He refused to eat foodContinue reading “It’s Friday…Total Immersion Is Always Best”

The shifting sands of this world are fertile ground for nothing but fear. We see uncertainty all around us. In the global financial markets, in the comings and goings of military forces, in rapidly spreading illnesses, and in the chaos of the political scene. We can easily panic under the illusion this world presents us,Continue reading “It’s Friday…It’s An Unalterable Fact”

There’s an attitude that is perhaps most subtle in corrupting our perspective; It’s the sense of regret we feel over missed opportunities and past failures. It plays a devastating mind game that makes us wonder what life would have been like “if” – if we hadn’t fallen, if so-and-so hadn’t hurt us, if we hadContinue reading “It’s Friday…Let’s Get Over Them”

Are you a worrier? Join the club. Its membership includes the entire human race. Yes, there are those who will deny they worry, and on the surface they may seem carefree. But deep down inside, they fear something – tragedy, abandonment, when or how they will die. Human anxiety is universal. We are all bornContinue reading “It’s Friday…Accept An Absolute Truth”

Trials come, and we plead for relief. Circumstances oppress, and we pray for deliverance. Health, relationships, work, and just about everything else in our lives grow difficult, and we ask God to straighten them out. We don’t like the pressures of life, and we lift every anxious thought to Him, as we should. But weContinue reading “It’s Friday…But Don’t Expect Perfection”
