We are living in days which demand for the people of God to be courageous, to be champions who live and speak His Truth in love. Unfortunately, the warriors The Lord is looking for, whom He has resourced and equipped us to be, have become wimps, cowards, and, at best, reluctant. But I guess weContinue reading “It’s Friday…Remember His Irrefutable Answer”

It’s Friday…He Has Already Met It
God is a God of covenant. He makes promises and will not violate them. If we think He might renege because circumstances change or because we don’t deserve His fulfillment, we’ve forgotten who He is. He has perfect foreknowledge and He has perfect character. He makes His promises in full view of the future, andContinue reading “It’s Friday…He Has Already Met It”
It’s Friday…Fear Is Completely Illogical
Ever wondered why The LORD is referred to as our Shepherd in Scripture? Could it be because we have sheepish tendencies? Deep down we know “we, like sheep have gone astray” (Isaiah 53:6) – that’s our tendency and has always been. Unfortunately, our eyes tend to focus too much on our surroundings more than theContinue reading “It’s Friday…Fear Is Completely Illogical”
It’s Friday…The Greatest Triumph Ever
Every four years when the Olympic Games come around, nations erupt in delirium when their athletes win. In the arena of national pride, there is no greater euphoria than celebrating Olympic champions. When they win, their nation’s fans sing spirited, spontaneous anthems in crowded stadiums, in living room floors, and everywhere in between. They zealouslyContinue reading “It’s Friday…The Greatest Triumph Ever”
It’s Friday…It’s Going To Be Okay
World peace. Everyone, from presidents to protestors to front-line soldiers to Miss America, crave it. We all want to lie down at night knowing that people won’t be killed tomorrow. We all want national security, not to mention families that get along. We all want every bomb and all the arguments to go away. MostlyContinue reading “It’s Friday…It’s Going To Be Okay”
It’s Friday…Looks Can Be Deceiving
We’re hours away from Passion Week. A week when the humility of Jesus – our Savior – will forever be on display, and for everyone to never forget. “He will not judge by what He sees with His eyes, or decide by what He hears with His ears.” That’s what we’re told about The MessiahContinue reading “It’s Friday…Looks Can Be Deceiving”
It’s Friday…Out of Balance
“It’s a conspiracy.” That was the assessment of a paranoid priest warning a corrupt king of a prophet’s declaration of God’s plans for Israel. When the prophet Amos told the Truth of God, he was considered a troublemaker, a disturber of the national peace, a mudslinger void of constructive criticism. (Things haven’t changed much, haveContinue reading “It’s Friday…Out of Balance”
It’s Friday…Tell Him It’s His
It’s Christmastime. We are all familiar with heartwarming scenes of the season like this: “They saw the child with His mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures.” (Matthew 2:11) We’ve seen and heard this portrayal every year in nativity plays, television specials, movies, and our favorite Christmas cards.Continue reading “It’s Friday…Tell Him It’s His”
It’s Friday…And It Rocked Our World
It’s Christmas. God came in the flesh. Think of how amazing that is. A Son – a tiny little baby – will be called Everlasting Father. A child will be called Mighty God. On the surface, that’s absurd. Titles of deity and eternal fatherhood are reserved for God Himself, not for babies. “For to usContinue reading “It’s Friday…And It Rocked Our World”
