God has already promised He would dwell among His people. His presence is the best promise and it reassures us.

If we grieve the Holy Spirit and shut the door on the promise of His presence, then we miss out on His presence and the blessing He brings.

How often we seek God’s hand for blessing instead of for God’s face in order to see God Himself? God is to be our main pursuit. The way into the fullness of blessing is not by seeking blessing, but by seeking God.

There are so many voices telling us how to live. What’s right. What’s wrong.  And much of it opposed what the Bible mandates as right or wrong. They are trying to take gender off of birth certificates. 

Isaiah 5:20-21

Woe to those who call evil good

and good evil,

who put darkness for light

and light for darkness,

who put bitter for sweet

and sweet for bitter!

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

and shrewd in their own sight!

It’s the world that says that evil is good and good is evil.  Sin causes moral confusion and the inability to discern good from evil. When we reject God’s standards, we exalt our personal standards, which merely reflect our sinful values. God has a standard for good and we need to take heed to it.

John opens his book proclaiming and persuading people about the truth of who Jesus is. The opening verses clearly state that Jesus is God and highlight his unique relationship with God the Father.

God has built rest into our biological makeup. We have to sleep. We have to stop and rest our bodies and minds.

God modeled rest for us during creation.  God rested after He created the world implying that His creative work is complete and He now rules over it. He didn’t design us to strive all the time. Rest is a divine gift from God.

On the first day of the job, newly-installed priest Nadab and Abihu, sons of Aaron, failed to obey the proper practice God had commanded. What they did is referred to as “strange fire” on the altar. What does this mean for us today?

Many times when people reference Jesus cleansing the temple in
John 2, they reference Jesus’ anger. But there is so much more going on—mainly the reason behind Jesus’ anger.  And the story is not just a historical account, but a call for you to want everyone to have access to Jesus.

It's so easy to read the story of the golden calf in the Old Testament and think the Israelites were so ridiculous for worshipping a statue. Given the culture of that time, it made perfect sense to them. Looking at the story in context and in the culture of the Ancient Near East, you'll see how easy it is to erect idols--and how ridiculous your own idols are today.

There's a dangerous theology creeping up in Christianity where people proclaim that they love Jesus without the church.

You can’t love Jesus and hate the church.

According to Scripture, the church is the bride of Christ . When we talk down about the church, we are referring to Jesus’s bride. We cannot think for one moment that Jesus is okay with Christians making disparaging remarks about the bride of Christ that He gave His very life for.
