The Ideal Truth
Our days are filled with loud voices and media telling us what to...
We try to build our reputations on our jobs, families, houses, or accomplishments. But God cares more about how we reflect Him to the people around us. Do you have a reputation as a Christ-follower?
God has called us all be part of the church family, to grow in faith, to serve, and to disciple those around us. We're His workers, and God has sent us into the world to share the good news of Jesus. Are you ready to take your next step?
Everything we have is a gift from God, and He calls us to be humble, do good, and share with other. The parable of the rich fool is Jesus' teaching about how to be rich toward God. What opportunities do you have to be generous with what you have this week?
When is Jesus coming back? Jesus himself tells us it isn't the 'when', but the 'what' that matters. What will Jesus find you doing when he returns? Are you spending your days building his kingdom, or your own? The parable of the ten virgins teaches us to keep our focus on Jesus and always be ready for his return.
The call from Jesus to love our neighbor doesn't just mean loving the people we like or agree with. The parable of the Good Samaritan demonstrates that 'loving our neighbor' includes showing love and compassion even to those who our world tells us are our enemies.
God has given us each gifts and talents to use to bring honor and glory to Him and serve others, but there are times we hide in fear instead of stepping out in faith and trusting in God's plan. Are you using your God-given abilities to serve Him?
Jesus' parable of the sower represents four states of a person's heart: hard heart, shallow heart, divided heart, or a ready heart. Jesus warns us not to have a heart that can be swayed by the world. Instead, our hearts should be open to His Word and ready to follow Him. Is your heart ready?
When you've lost something important, you'll go to great lengths to find it. God loves us so deeply that He pursues us even when we are lost and have turned our back on Him. He wants nothing more than for us to find forgiveness and freedom in the saving love of Jesus.
No matter how far we have walked away from God, He waits with arms opened wide for us to turn from a life of sin and be washed clean by the blood of Jesus. He paid the price so we can have freedom and eternal life. Do you think you are too far from Jesus...you're not?
