God Never Disappoints - Psalm 37

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 37 - Wed, October 27, 2010. If we prayed as much as we worry and envy, this world would be a much better place! The reality is that the Godly have no reason to worry and no reason to envy the ungodly. God has every detail worked out and will deal out justice when the time is right. Just obey and allow God to work out the rest.

Personal Holiness is ...To Be Continued - 1 Peter 1:13-16

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 1:13-16 - Sun, October 24, 2010. As a Christian, you are called to ONE purpose: holiness. It’s not something you can (or should try to) manufacture within yourself, but it’s something that God will manufacture into you. It’s not easy, and you won’t be perfect, but the God who you identify yourself with is holy, so that should be your aim!

God Forgives My Sin! - Psalm 32

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 32 - Wed, October 20, 2010. Sin is fun…for a little while. Eventually, though, it will catch up to you. Until it does, the pain and discomfort of unconfessed sin will begin to eat you from the inside out. Bypass the “pain and discomfort” part by skipping right to the confession part. God is ready to forgive, replacing the pain with pleasure!

Salvation is ...To Be Continued - 1 Peter 1:10-12

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 1:10-12 - Sun, October 17, 2010. Sometimes people overlook the value of a possession they have simply because they don’t realize its value or just get used to having it around. Don’t make that mistake with your salvation! Through Christ, you have what prophets and preachers have been talking about for thousands of years!

God Is All I Need - Psalm 27

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 27 - Wed, October 13, 2010. Every late-night infomercial tries to pitch their product to you as though you need it. When it comes to spiritual battles and even physical provision, God is all we need. If you doubt that, take a look back at His provision and a look forward at His promises. Those are enough to weather any storm!

Suffering Is NOT ...To Be Continued - 1 Peter 1:6-9

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 1:6-9 - Sun, October 10, 2010. When you give your life to Christ, you’d better buckle up – suffering is coming. But wait! Before you walk away, know that suffering as a Christian is far different than suffering without Christ. Although trials will come, so will the triumph. They may be painful, but they’re purposeful, so hang on!

God Forecasts the Futrue - Psalm 22

From the series "Heartblog." - Psalm 22 - Wed, October 6, 2010. We like to think that we know the future. We plan ahead for events, watch the weather forecast, and predict social trends. God’s plan to give us life by killing His Son reaches back to before the beginning of time. It was always His plan. Rejoice in His nearness, and most of all in His victory over death!

Your Inheritance Is ...To Be Continued - 1 Peter 1:3-5

From the series "To Be Continued." - 1 Peter 1:3-5 - Sun, October 3, 2010. Everything on Earth (including our lives) has an expiration date on it: eggs, milk, your car, your health, your money…The good news is that for those who give their lives to Jesus, they have an inheritance that is to be continued in eternity. It’s purchased and guarded by God Himself!
