What job did God give you to do for His kingdom? Are you doing it? I believe there is a unique flame burning in every heart, ignited by God and blown on by the Holy Spirit. It’s your little light that must shine to the Glory of God. It is important to know what your job is. Why? Because of the parable told by Jesus in Matt. 24:45-51. It’s the story about a servant who was given a job by his master to do while he was away. Upon the master’s unexpected return he found the servant busy doing this job. He was so pleased with this faithful and wise servant that he put him in charge over all his possessions. But he was not so pleased with the wicked servant who decided that his master was taking too long to return and started backsliding. Go and read 1 Cor. 12, Eph. 4:11-13 and Rom. 12:6-8. Paul describes us as the body of Christ in 1 Cor. 12:12-31. Just as a body can not be all head or all foot, the body of Christ needs the different bodily parts in order for it t

Do you have a cross in your home? We do. In fact, we have a few. In different colors, sizes and textures! It forms a part of our home decor. It is a message to visitors saying: “You are now entering a Christian home.” The cross is the universal symbol for Christianity. We all know that. But, what about you? The one with the cross on your living room wall? The Christian? What do you see when you look at the cross? We should see the final sacrifice for our sins by Jesus on that cross. His divine love. The wounds that brought us healing and salvation. The Almighty God who became flesh and bones. And then, you should also see yourself on that cross. Yes, I know! This is the part where some of you will stop reading! Most Christians I know struggle with the idea of being crucified with Christ. We read in Gal. 2:20 (NLT) “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the So

Page 1 of 365… Starting a new year is a lot like starting a new novel. Anything could happen on the next page. It could be exciting, tragic, joyful, victorious, sad, amazing, or ridiculous, you name it. You just never know what life is going to throw at you in the days ahead. In fact, there is only one thing you can be a hundred percent sure of and that is the love of Jesus. (Rom. 8:38-39) The Bible tells us that He remains the same, yesterday, today and forever. (Heb. 13:8) He is a Rock. (Ps. 62:6, 1 Cor. 10:4, Is. 26:4, Is. 28:16, Mat. 7:24-25) Now picture this… Your soul is like a boat floating on the sea of life. The ups and downs of life are the waves crashing around this boat. A boat that is not securely anchored will be swept away by the waves and thrown around without mercy. But, a boat firmly anchored to the Rock of ages will remain steadfast. You do not know what lies ahead in the year to come, but you can have a steadfast heart because the storms of
