It’s the season of Lent. Sacrifice is the buzz word. Jesus’ life can be described as a life of sacrifice, can’t it? Not only on the Cross did He pour out His blood to redeem us from our sins, but during His service on earth. He worked long hours; washed others’ feet; brought physical healingContinue reading “It’s Friday…That’s How His Love Behaves”

It’s Friday…Live Recklessly
Those of us who claim a relationship with God have placed our trust in Him. But when it comes to daily living, we tend to trust a lot of other sources of help as well. Few of us have learned to trust The Lord alone. We usually trust The Lord and financial resources, medical research,Continue reading “It’s Friday…Live Recklessly”
It’s Friday…God Means To Be Enjoyed
It’s Valentine’s Day. God love you and me, and He love us not because of who we are, but because of who He is. Jesus said this about God the Father – “The Father Himself loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.” (John 16:27) If we readContinue reading “It’s Friday…God Means To Be Enjoyed”
It’s Friday…Who Can Protect Us?
We live in an unsettling world, don’t we? There is no such thing as security here. Thieves break in, accidents happen, illness strikes, terror assaults, and death is a reality – no one is immune.

It’s Friday…Let’s Relax and Rejoice
Every day we live we are witnesses to challenges – some personal, some very remote, some almost imperceptible in scope, and others seemingly impossible in grandeur.

It’s Friday…It’s His Nature
It’s Christmas. Even so, we live in the tension between two obvious facts. First, the world is full of corruption and sin. Second, it was made to be so much better. People can ignore those facts if they want to – in fact, many have tried to portray our world as a product of randomContinue reading “It’s Friday…It’s His Nature”
Its Friday…How Much Intensity We Will Accept
It’s Christmas, what are you asking God for? Do you know what His beloved, treasured people – Israel – asked for? They asked not to hear His voice or see His face anymore. The intimacy was too overwhelming, His holiness too heavy. His presence got to be too much for them, and they thought theyContinue reading “Its Friday…How Much Intensity We Will Accept”
It’s Friday…Practice Gratitude and Praise
We sing when we’re happy – or whistle, or hum, or something that displays our joy. That’s because true joy can’t be easily contained. Neither can our other emotions. Whatever’s in us will eventually come out unless we make a huge effort to keep it in. What Jesus did for us will make us extremelyContinue reading “It’s Friday…Practice Gratitude and Praise”
It’s Friday…Our Reason For Being
It happened this week in America. But why don’t we do it more often? Why do we wait until we are on the cusp of desperation? We must make intercession a regular rhythm of our lives. “Sovereign LORD, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!” (Amos 7:5) God looked atContinue reading “It’s Friday…Our Reason For Being”
