A Quiet Heart “A quiet heart, resting in the love of God, dwelling in perfect peace, hath a royalty about it which cannot for a moment be matched by the fleeting joys of this world.” - Charles Spurgeon “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:6–7 NKJV When we th

The Heart of a Servant “We might tremble to approach a throne, but we cannot fear to approach a manger.” - Charles Spurgeon “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” - Matthew 20:28 NKJV Yes, Jesus came to serve in many ways. One way was to give His life that all humanity might be redeemed. Another way was to teach us how to love. Another way He taught us this was by washing the feet of the people He came to serv

Worship the Gift “The Magi believed that Jesus was more than a human being. They had come to worship Him.” — Charles Spurgeon “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” - ‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭MSG‬‬ May we worship Him today for the gift He is. May we today refuse to make excuses about why we can’t and dare to give the gif

In Your Inn “Because there were no rooms left in the inn, she wrapped the baby with pieces of cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough.” Luke 2:7 NCV Had Mary and Joseph been Queen Mary and King Joseph, the innkeeper would have responded differently. But no trumpet sounded. No herald proclaimed. No courier announced their arrival. There was only a knock. A knock at the door by a common couple at a late hour when the inn was crowded. So the innkeeper missed the opportunity of a

The Greatest Gift “Christ has come to us, that we might come to Him.” — Charles Spurgeon Please don’t deny the very reason we celebrate this Christmas season. God gives us the greatest gift known to mankind in His Son, Jesus, that we might be redeemed and forgiven. Put your wallet up. You can’t buy salvation. It’s a gift. Just receive it. Come to Jesus today. Team Wade is praying for you and loves you, and there’s nothing you can do about it ❤️👊

Rejoicing in Our Pardon “If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon.” — Charles Spurgeon I wonder at times if our awe and wonder has faded when it comes to our sins being forgiven, our salvation in Jesus. Maybe we have forgotten where we were when Christ found us. I read this morning of a Satan worshiper in prison who was on death row and, for his final meal before execution, physically ate every page of a Bible. A hatred and disdain for God so

A Lifestyle of Prayer “Pray without ceasing,” - ‭‭I Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ When Paul says to pray without ceasing, he is urging us to make prayer a lifestyle. Making it our lifestyle to communicate with God throughout the day. When you wake up in the morning, turn your thoughts to Him rather than start worrying about the many things you have to accomplish that day. If we can cultivate our prayer life in such a way where we are regularly communicating with God, we wil

Thirsty for Righteousness “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” - ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Only thirsty people drink. They don’t just talk about drinking. Many of us say, “I need to spend time with God every day in prayer.” And the next year, we say, “Well, I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I need to spend more time with the Lord in prayer.” If that’s the case in your life or in my life, our problem is that we’re not thi

A Life of Worship “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.” - Ephesians 5:19–21 NKJV Many theologians and Bible teachers say that the things Paul lists in the above text are the results of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Others say these verses give us the how

Walking in the Spirit “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” - Galatians 5:16 NKJV The Holy Spirit gives us the power to overcome the sin that we carry around within us because we still live in bodies contaminated by sin. This is the purpose of the Spirit’s filling. Notice five observations. 1. As the drunk yields to alcohol, we are to yield to the Spirit. That is a big difference, but the principle is the same in each case. 2. Paul

The Treaty of Peace “That manger was the place where the treaty was signed, whereby warfare should be stopped between man’s conscience and himself, man’s conscience and his God.” - Charles Spurgeon Father, Thank You for bringing a cease fire to my mind and inner man. Thank You for the birth, blood, and resurrection of Your Son, Jesus. Thank You for setting this man free. We celebrate You! Team Wade is talking to Jesus about you today ❤️👊

The Wonder of His Greatness “A sight of the greatness of God is a very blessed reminder of our own littleness.” — Charles Spurgeon Psalm 19:1: “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” This verse emphasizes how creation itself testifies to God’s magnificence. The tough part about the brokenness of humanity is our inability to forget the past when we have miserably failed. Yet the beauty of the brain is the memory to recall every miracle

Get Childish “But I have stilled and quieted myself, just as a small child is quiet with its mother. Yes, like a small child is my soul within me.” - Psalm 131:2 Do you hurry through your prayer time so you can get to other things? If so, consider the values Jesus modeled when He spent prayer time with His Father. SOLITUDE: Though Jesus was constantly surrounded by people, He recognized His need for times of seclusion. Often, He would retreat from the crowds to spend time alo

The Ultimate Gift “Let the dogs bark, it is their nature to. Go on preaching Christ crucified.” — Charles Spurgeon Team Wade is praying for you and we love you and there is nothing you can do about it. Merry Christmas Jesus, the ultimate gift 🎁

Our Living Hope “The hope of the church does not rest in her ministers, but in her God not in her wisdom, but in him.” — Charles Spurgeon “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” - I Peter 1:3 NKJV Jesus, All we want is you. Team Wade is praying for you and loves you and there is nothing you can do about it ❤️

Joy In Every Trial “In heaven, we shall see that we had not one trial too many.” — Charles Spurgeon “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” - ‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Team Wade is praying for you and loves you and there’s nothing you can do about it❤️👊!

Everlasting Love “Though he be infinitely above us, yet he delights to be one with all his loving ones, and of his own will he gives himself to us.”— Charles Spurgeon “The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.” - ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ O the privilege and honor to be wanted by the King of Kings and creator of all. Team Wade is praying for you and loves you!

Our Advocate “Oh my poor prayers, you shall be heard! Jesus is our advocate today.” — Charles Spurgeon “My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.” - ‭‭I John‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Even when you don’t know how or what to pray, pray anyway. Team Wade loves you and is praying for you ❤️👊

Strength for the Weary “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” - Romans 8:9 NKJV Some of us come into the Christian life wearing a 60 pound backpack. We are wanting to walk, we are needing to walk, but we are unable to walk because we are weighed down by the heavy load of darkness. For some of us there was abuse, for others it was parents who drank and showed

Awake to His Presence “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.” - Isaiah 60:1 NKJV If we are true believers, we have been baptized by the spirit and into the body of Christ. We are also indwelt by the spirit who will never leave us. These are givens for the true child of God. But neither of these realities guarantees us all the benefits of the spirit. The spirit can be in us, and we can know very little of his power and influence. T
