Psalm 112: "The Right Kind of Fear"

Preparing for Worship: Meditating on Eph. 3:8

"The unsearchable riches of Christ"

Our Master has riches beyond count.... They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Savior than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. Our Lord is more ready to pardon than you are to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. Our Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of our Lord Jesus.

Psalm 111: "God-Glorifying Gratitude"

"The more you know about the world, and the God who made it, you may be tempted to be proud of what you know. But if you wish to be wise, the first and most important thing to know is that God is great and we are not."                by Philip G. Ryken

John 13:1-20 and Eph. 6:5-9: "Fellow Servants of the Ultimate Servant"

Remember....

The essence of what Christians are consists in this - that they have Hope. They are born again for that. When they were made new creatures, it was that they might have a new Hope.

Ephesians 5:15-21: "Walking Wisely"

"Because we live in dark times, we need frequent reminders to wake up (Eph. 5:14) and to watch out (v.15). This means discerning what is pleasing to the Lord (v.10) and walking in countercultural obedience to Him: not unwise, but wise; not foolish but understanding (v.17); not drunk on wine, but filled with the Spirit (v.18). The world wants to press us into its mold (Rom 12:2), but we have been given a different pattern. 

While the wrath of God is not in the future of any true believer, we should not presume that ungodly pursuits will have no effect on us or our loved ones. God loves us enough to tell us of the safe path of godliness, and He loves us enough to warn us of the consequences of wandering from that path."  The Gospel Transformation Bible
