    Test Your Faith

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 6, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 74 views

    The life of Rahab and Achan teach us some important lessons. While Rahab trusted God and stood firm in the faith, Achan coveted after worldly things which had serious consequences. The question is, “What kind of faith do we have?” and how is this faith displayed in our everyday lives.

    Today’s meditation is taken from 2 Corinthians 13:5, “Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups.” (MSG) Paul was making an appeal to the Corinthian believers to examine themselves consistently to ...read more

    Title: The Next Day Scripture: Acts 21:1-26 Let someone pick a random day in your life and chances are you won’t be able to remember exactly what you were doing that day.

    The Substitute

    The sacrificial system points to God’s desire to save his people, the seriousness of our sin and God’s willingness to forgive. Tying the OT sacrificial system to the sacrifice of Christ.

    Many people begin to read about the Old Testament sacrificial system and think something like: “Why all the blood? Why all this slaughtering of animals? It seems so gruesome and disgusting. Why did God require all of that? What was the purpose?” Confusing as it is, the Old Testament ...read more

    To one extent or another, we all carry a burden of guilt. That is not God’s desire. He wants us to get rid of it and has given us the means to do so.

    In our attempts to serve God, we use words, spirituality, and offerings. But without love as the motivation for all these, they are useless substitutes for what God desires and what the worlds needs.

    As Christians we desire to do things for the Lord. But sometimes we are really just doing them for ourselves. Learn how to spot self service and your attitudes while serving.

    Most Christians understand that belonging to the Lord means we serve Him and will do things that He tells us to do. We like to think that we do it because we are so thankful for what He has done, or because Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel and make disciples or because we see the example of ...read more
