Quitting Before You Quit

Colossians 3:23 says "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not human masters." In Super Bowl 27, the Dallas Cowboys were crushing the Buffalo bills, and the game was almost over. The Bills quarterback fumbled the ball and a Dallas Cowboys defender, Leon Lett, picked up the ball and ran it almost 60 yards to the end zone. Buffalo Bills wide receiver Don Beebe sprinted and knocked the ball out of Leon Letts hands right at the goal line, which prevented a Dallas touchdown. Don had the right attitude in Christ and he knew that God had called him to maximize his ability and talent and he was working for the Lord and honoring him with his play. We too can work heartily for the Lord, no matter the situation.

#130-Thin Air Pt. 2

Satan went after Job and accused him of only following God because God had blessed him. Job lost everything and he quickly went from being at the top of the mountain to being at the bottom of the mountain. We need humility no matter where we are at and God will build our character through adversity. Joni Erickson Tada became paralyzed at the age of 17 and after that, she completely relied on the Lord for everything. God has been conforming her into the image of Jesus Christ. Her mountain top might look different from what she pictured, but she is breathing in the Lord Jesus Christ and making Him known.

#127-Anyone, Anytime

We are all going to die, so the question is; where are you going? The Bible makes it clear that there is a real hell and a real heaven and our destination is based on what we have done with Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross. For those who have acknowledged their sinful nature & repented (Romans 3: 23) believe in & follow Jesus Christ, they will spend eternity with God, but for those who have not placed their faith in Jesus, they will suffer an eternity in hell because they will be judged by their sins & be found guilty. None of us know when our time will run out, but we can know where we are going because of the work that Jesus did on the cross and we can have assurance to know where we are going upon death & where we will spend eternity.

#126-Bewitched Pt. 2

The Galatian church had forgotten who Jesus Christ was and they were trying to earn their salvation but it is only by faith in Jesus Christ that we are justified. The Galatian church was allowing the doctrine of doing good works to earn salvation. Paul corrected them and he reminded them that salvation comes from the work Jesus did on the cross and only Jesus can produce the fruit of the Spirit.

#125-Bewitched Pt. 1

In Galatians 3, Paul is calling out the church in Galatia because they have been “bewitched” and they have forgotten about Jesus and they are trying to live by their flesh and not the Holy Spirit. As believers, we must read the word of God and remain focused on the task at hand that God has before us and not get distracted by the world.
