The main thing that God asks for is our attention.

We like to control the map of our life and know everything well in advance. But faith is content just knowing that God’s promise cannot fail. This, in fact, is the excitement of walking with God.

In too many churches today, people don’t see manifestations of God’s power in answer to fervent praying. Instead, they hear arguments about theological issues that few people care about.

Trouble is one of God’s great servants because it reminds us how much we continually need the Lord.

The message of the cross will always be foolishness to some, a stumbling block to others. But if our attention is on the market reaction, we move away from the power of the gospel. This fearfulness to talk about the blood of Christ is an overreaction. Worse than that, it borders on heresy, distorting and deflating the power of the Good News.

It may not seem obvious at first glance, but the way we make decisions in life tells a lot about the kind of faith we have in Jesus Christ.

Doesn’t the God who created the universe out of nothing and put all the stars in place, have the power to take care of your situation?

Persistent calling upon the name of the Lord breaks through every stronghold of the devil, for nothing is impossible with God. For Christians in these troubled times there is simply no other way.

I despair at the thought that my life might slip by without God showing Himself mighty in my life.

When we see only what we want to see in the Bible, it loses all power to transform us.
