Anchored by Prayer “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬ ‭NLT‬‬ If prayer was a top priority in the life of Jesus Christ, then it ought to be the top priority in the church He purchased with His blood. Even Paul wrote to Timothy, his son in the faith, because he wanted him to understand how the church works as he pastored the church in Ephesus. We in the church should not fool ourselves into thinkin

Buried with Christ “In the tomb of Jesus, all our sins are buried. Christ himself has put them away.” — Charles Spurgeon “He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” — 1 John 2:2 May we stop trying to earn it and simply receive it.

When We Hide Behind the Mask “And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.’ So Peter went out and wept bitterly.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭22‬:‭61‬-‭62‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Similar to Peter after denying Christ, we often attempt to hide our weaknesses by playing it safe and retreating to our comfort zones. We can’t truly connect with people when we put up walls. When we do, others not

Trust Over Feelings “If you begin to live by your own feelings, you will always be unsettled.” — Charles Spurgeon Proverbs 3:5–6 gives explicit instruction on the matter of trusting our feelings: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.” (NASB) In other words, we should: (1) Put our full confidence in God at the very core of our being—this includes our feelings.

Truth Over Popularity “False doctrines are very popular among the ‘cultured’ folk. I want none of your popularity.” — Charles Spurgeon “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers.” ‭‭II Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ May popularity never be our heart’s desire, but instead may walking in holiness, righteousness, and in the truth of God’s Word overwhelm
