Lord Save Me

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Nov 4, 2010

The crowds followed Jesus into the wilderness without a second thought. Almost like children, they seemed to respond to Jesus in a manner that they truly believed that Wherever Jesus is; He will care for us. Do we feel that way about Jesus?

Remember the back country trip that we read about last week, when Jesus sought solitude after He received word of John the Baptist's arrest.

I Belong To The Lord, Body And Soul!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 19, 2008

JB Phillips translates Luke 1:38 like this, ’I belong to the Lord, body and soul. Let it happen as you say.’ Mary’s response of simple, humble faith challenges us to respond positively to the Lord’s call. How will we respond when he next calls us?

When God first called you what was your response? When God next calls you to something new, something different, what will be your response? The key to this Bible reading is Mary’s response of obedience. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary said. “May it be to me as you have said” (1:38). JB Phillips ...read more

How To Be Steadfast In The Lord-Part 2 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on May 9, 2022

Complacency is the poison that begins the downfall of those who have been given freely the gift of life.

That fruit will last contrary to the charity work that comes from lives that are philanthropic in nature, they want to do something as good citizens for others but they don’t have the living union with Christ, therefore their works will eventually perish. But when you have the living faith, it says ...read more

Trusting In The Lord Series

Trust in the Lord. Inward trust and faith, outward obedience. If we truly put our trust in the Lord, giving up relying on our own intellect, than our outward appearance should reflect this faith and trust.

Adonai Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 16, 2020

Freedom comes when I realize that I am not in charge of the universe … God is … and I let Him do His job and I do mine … which is to be an attentive and obedient servant of the Lord and Master of the universe.

I am a slave. Not because I am being forced to be a slave but because I want to.

Jesus said the only way to enter the kingdom is through being born of the water and of the Spirit (John 3:3-5). But what is the kingdom? It is the church (Matthew 16:18-19). Well, does the Lord have two ways for one to enter the church?

Lord, Please Send A Revival!

Contributed by Michael Bates on Jan 1, 2024

Our planet desperately needs a worldwide revival. God has the power to being revival to all the nations and He accomplishes that by using us, Christians, to be His hands/feet in the world to bring about change. But, doing that sometimes comes at a high price (martyrdom).
