Day 111 - The Resurrection

We have studied how it was the hope of the resurrection and the glory He was to receive which enabled Jesus to endure the cross. It has also been the truth of the resurrection that empowered all of the martyrs of every age, and it is as we behold the glory set before us that we are able to take up our crosses and "die daily."
 
We must also consider, if the ultimate fear by which the enemy has kept mankind in bondage is the fear of death, and the truth of the resurrection breaks this bondage, why is the world in such darkness and bondage?

Day 63 - Knowing the Path

The basic purpose of every Christian is to become like the Lord, and to do the works that He did. We do this by loving Him and our neighbors. Everything that we are called to do will fit in one of those categories: loving God or people. We may distinguish the path God has called us to walk by determining the path that compels us to walk in love. 
 
If we truly love the Lord we will love what He loves and hate what He hates.

Not Judging Motives- The Greatest Christian Life, Part 29

         Last week we began to address one way we can judge by appearances that can be wrong. I shared a prophetic experience I had years ago in which I was shown a man of God who was accomplishing many things for the Lord. I was then shown a man who appeared to be homeless walking down the street. His name was Angelo. As he walked, a little kitten got in his way, and he roughly thrust it aside with his foot. The Lord then asked me which of these two men I thought He was most pleased with. Of course, I thought it was the one doing such great things for Him.
