Our will and God’s will are as two separate pieces of wood; so long as both lie side by side there is no cross; but put them across one another, and then there is a cross. We must take up the cross Christ lays on us if we would be His disciples. Whenever

My son and My God are both watching me, they both need to see "a long obedience in the same direction."
I want to live a Godly life so that my son will do the same. But when I blow it in my life that same little boy is watching, and learning and that’s a strong incentive for me to be careful in the first place. But most importantly I hope he’s still watching when Daddy repents. Because I know that ...read more

Encourage believers to hold onto the power and warmth of God's Word, even in the face of discouragement, and to not be silenced by the opinions of others.
Good morning, everyone! Today, we're going to dive into a passage from the book of Jeremiah that speaks to us about the power of discouragement, the fire of God's Word, and the importance of not letting others shut you up. As Samuel Chadwick once said, "Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else ...read more

Why did the soldiers place a crown of thorns on the head of Jesus? Could there be something more significant to it than we realize?
I am amazed at many of the details of the story of Jesus’ trials, His suffering, abuse, and mockery, and how that there is significance to each event, to each episode. This morning we took a graphic look at the torture He suffered in being scourged or flogged. The ripping apart of His flesh, the ...read more
