Are you struggling against your sin or are you complacently accepting it?

It’s time to check our walk. Are we throwing out banana peels? Are there things in our life that are causing our brother to stumble?

And the beautiful thing is that He still loves us. He sees the dark truth within us and yet, He chooses to love and forgive us.

Sometimes, the work of the Lord doesn’t fit into the neat little box we’ve created.

When sin is discovered and change needs to take place in our lives, it must be led by the Holy Spirit.

Where do you turn when the troubles of this life come your way? Do you try to rely on your own strength or do you turn to the Lord?

Pride sneaks up on you when you least expect it.

We have the opportunity to cry out to our God and confess our sins, seeking His help to repent of those sins and follow Him.

Jesus has the power to cleanse us from all unrighteousness and shame.

Not only did Jesus experience the hills and valleys, but He promises to be with us as we travel this earth. Whether we are on the mountain top of victory or feeling defeat in the valley, God is with us.

Let’s learn and imitate the Master teacher. The only one qualified to throw a stone…didn’t.

Jesus has power over it all. He came to save us from the destruction of Satan and death, but what will we do when He offers us that salvation?

Jesus stands before you now. What will you do?

Sometimes even the easiest lessons can be the hardest to learn. Far too often, we are focused on the mistakes and sins of others that we don’t even recognize our own need of repentance.

Because of Jesus, I can boldly and confidently, say I choose to follow Christ and serve Him all of my life, no matter what comes. Will you?

There is one Judge, the Lord our God, and I want Him to see that my debt has been paid in full by the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

How do we differentiate between rest and sloth? Look at the fruit.

When we come into contact with Jesus, it’s not about what we’ve done in the past. It’s about what we do with the knowledge of our past.

It wasn’t His debt to pay, but He paid it in full.

Are your actions and attitude reflecting those of a disciple of Jesus Christ?

It’s time to recognize that our God is bigger than our problems and has all authority in our lives! Give it to God and trust Him to do what needs to be done!

He commanded those that believed to follow Him. Will you take that step and learn what that means and commit to being His follower?

Jesus has already paid the debt we owe. But unless we confess our sin to the Lord, we will still have to face the judgment.

As much as we want our side of the story to be told, the bottom line is, the truth will eventually come out. And God will use the situation to bring about something even greater. We simply have to trust Him.

So what can we do to withstand the enemy? Watch and pray.

The cost of my sin is not just about consequences here on earth. But instead about how it grieves my Heavenly Father.

Jesus knew I would betray Him. Like Gomer to Hosea, I have betrayed my first love and yet, Christ, knowing all these things, still chose to pay the debt I owed.

Can you cast away the pride and accept what Jesus offers you?

Jesus Christ has dealt with our shame, and now we can live in freedom!

Christ has called His followers to be sanctified. This means to be set apart, to be holy. What sin remains in your life that needs to be removed?

Hand Him the pieces, the missteps, the blunders, and watch what God can do with your brokenness.

God has given us all we need in order to be saved. I pray you recognize that today.

Only salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God can cleanse us from within.

As a follower of Christ, we can rest in the finished work of Jesus. He is the light of the world and in Him can be no darkness.

Today, Jesus offers us the same opportunity. He knows what’s on our minds and in our hearts. The door is wide open, we must only confess our sins and repent.

One thing happened. One thing was added to this man and he was changed completely.

Time and time again, He has proven His power and love for us. And we, too, can be healed if we put our trust in Him and ask.

Now, you know exactly what Jesus did for you. It’s time to decide.

We may be tempted to take the easy way out when we feel pain, hurt, uneasiness, discomfort or trouble. But because of what Jesus endured on the cross, we can trust in Him and His sacrifice and stand strong.

He’s here. He’s offering to take that burden of sin from you. Don’t hold onto it. Let it go. Let Jesus help you in your greatest need. Let Him do for you what you can’t.

One day, there will be no choice. It will be too late. All will bow, but some will be in fear, realizing the King that is before them is the very one they have mocked, belittled and cursed their whole lives.

Jesus did this for us. He took our punishment upon Himself so that we could be freed from our sin.

Lead us, Lord, in the way that is everlasting!

In the cover of darkness is where sin reigns. But when the light shines, the darkness flees.

I’m grateful my father stepped in to pay that debt so that I could be freed from the sin and punishment.

Until we recognize our need for a Savior, we will never understand who He truly is.

Will we deny His truth and decide to do what we think or feel is right? Or will we choose Jesus, His truth, His way, and His love?

The same love that He showed for His betrayer Judas, He shows to you and me.

They had heard their Captain speaking, they had been warned, and yet, they chose to do their own thing.

Make that commitment today. The commitment to follow what the Lord had originally intended for marriage, before our sin polluted it.
