The Christian life is pictured in the Bible as a race to run; a course to finish. The Apostle Paul was determined to finish his course with joy and the ministry which he had received of the Lord (Acts 20:24). Shortly before his death, he could give this testimony: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2Timothy 4:7). Notice, he had finished his course.
We sing songs about following Jesus. We read Bible verses about following Jesus. But what does it mean to follow Jesus in our daily lives?
Jesus has invited every soul to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28-20). This cancels all previous engagements. Won’t you accept His offer today?
Many today are stopping short on the gospel. The Catholics and many others have a crucified "Jesus" (another Jesus) laying around. The problem is that even some Independent Baptists are heading the same direction. What does the Bible say about the Gospel?
The gospel of Jesus Christ is His death, burial and resurrection according to the scriptures. This is often viewed as just the starting point for the Christian life. In truth, it is central to our life in Christ after salvation as well.
How is God going to wrap things up in the end?
Are you going through a period of time where you feel that God has forgotten you? Choose to accept the authority of the scriptures over your feelings and know God has not forsaken you.
Paul used sporting events to describe the spiritual life. He especially used the foot race. Believers are compared to runners in a race. Are you ready to run so that you may obtain the prize?
Our works are a product of what is going on in our hearts. When God looks on your heart, what does He see?
We who are saved by the blood know we are on our way to heaven, but we have questions about what heaven will be like. We wonder about our loved ones who have gone to heaven before us. Though we see as but through a glass darkly, God’s word reveals to us several things about the land of heaven.
