christian jesus father
When friends abandoned him, Paul asked God not to count their actions against them. He followed the example of Jesus, who prayed for the Father to forgive His persecutors. What's your response when friends let you down? Forgiveness is the choice that pleases God every time.
jesus children christian-inspirational
The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.
christian powerful character
Temptation can be defined as an inducement to do evil. Three powerful forces work together to ruin a believer's character and witness: Satan, the world system, and our own lustful "flesh" tendencies.
christian biblical thinking
I think a lot of people, even Christians, are willing to be satisfied with gaining lots and lots of biblical knowledge - and many people go to Bible studies and don't realize it isn't enough to know what's right, it's applying the information and the knowledge that you have.
christian adversity christian-inspirational
There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.
christian-inspirational want faces
If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.
christian christian-inspirational viewpoints
Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God's viewpoint.
christian character intimate-relationships
All of us have areas of weakness. God wants these character flaws to show us how totally dependent we are upon Him. When we handle them properly, they drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord. But uncontrolled weakness wreaks havoc in a person's life.
christian training suffering
Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.
christian opportunity essence
The essence of wisdom, from a practical standpoint, is pausing long enough to look at our lives-invitations, opportunities, relationships-from God's perspective. And then acting on it
christian church generations
If the church marries herself to the spirit of the times, she will find herself a widow in the next generation.
christian pain mean
When you become consumed by God's call on your life, everything will take on new meaning and significance. You will begin to see every facet of your life - including your pain - as a means through which God can work to bring others to Himself.
christian jesus thinking
The blood that poured from Christ's wounds bought your salvation. If you want to truly value what He did, think of Him hanging on that cross just for you. With that thought in your mind, consider how you should live. He gave Himself freely for you; are you giving yourself fully to Him?
christian people lines
The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don't even like the word.
