In God’s providential wisdom, believers experience real problems. Some problems are small, others are large. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient to meet every need of every human being.

God has a special plan for everyone of his children (Acts 9:15-16). Our ultimate purpose in life is to bring glory to Jesus Christ. We glorify our Lord by growing in personal sanctification and in service for the Lord.

Do you ever look at someone and think, “There is no hope for that person!” Maybe they are deeply bound by sin. Maybe their life is a disaster. Maybe they hate God and are opposed to the Gospel. Maybe you look at you own life and think there is no hope in your situation. Praise God Jesus Christ transforms lives!

We feel the weight of being a witness for the Lord. It can be intimidating to share Jesus with someone. Not everyone will respond well and trust the Lord to save them, but the Holy Spirit is at work right now in the lives of people drawing them to true faith in Christ!

My heart lies to me all the time. It tells me that life is all about ME! It attempts to convince me that my own glory, power, and kingdom is where true joy and happiness are found. Even as a child of God living in the kingdom of God, I may still believe the lie of my heart and pursue my own puny little kingdom.

When everything seems to come crashing down around us we often feel like caving to discouragement and despair. We might ask questions like, “How could God let something like this happen?” or “How can anything good come from this?”

It is natural to assume that the Lord blesses His most godly and faithful servants with visible ministry success and personal comfort. I mean if God is happy with you then life will be pleasant and peaceful! Right?

Most of our worries in life come from the sobering reality that we are limited in every way. What happens if I face an obstacle larger than my strength? Will I have enough to do what God asks of me?

Though we are saints by faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:2), we are still sinners. If we fall prey to the temptations of our flesh and Satan, we can contaminate Christ’s church through selfish ambition and impure motives.
