If the Lord Wills “Why do I not call on God? Why do I worry and invent plans?” — Charles Spurgeon "Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬-

Peace Through His Reign “If you put your eye on anything but Christ, peace will be an impossibility.” — Charles Spurgeon “for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭14‬:‭17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Focusing on the kingdom of God involves Intentionally seeking a relationship with God through prayer and meditating on His word.

Revive Us Again “O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid; O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years! In the midst of the years make it known; In wrath remember mercy.” - ‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Do you remember how exciting it was to buy that first home and get all moved in? Chances are you lived in that home long enough to know that a new structure does not necessarily solve all of our problems. Many people who have bought new houses are still trying to t

When Men Pray “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. T

The Promise That Never Fails “God will do as He has said. If you believe that promise, you never need to fear.” — Charles Spurgeon “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” - ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭24‬:‭35‬ ‭NIV‬‬ If all else fails, the validity of the Word of God remains faithful.

Faithful in the Arena "Let the dogs bark, it is their nature to. Go on preaching Christ crucified." — Charles Spurgeon “So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will remain in fellowship with the Son and with the Father. And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Theodore Roosevelt said, “It’s not the critic who counts, it’s not the man who points out how the strong man st

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. In Jesus’ name. Team Wade is praying for you, loves you, and there’s nothing you can do about 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
