What does it mean to be compassionate? Compassion is seeing others through God’s eyes. God gives love even to those who have deeply hurt us. Therefore, when we accept that God also loves them, it provides a more objective view of His heart and helps us to forgive. Also, when we see others hurt, we can love them with God’s love. Empathizing with their circumstances helps us see things from their perspective, rather than judging them based on the surface level of what we observe. Showing compassion mirrors God’s love in a world that is increasingly manifesting judgment, hate, and rejection toward those who disagree with them. We can choose to be compassionate.

What’s the most important teaching that Jesus taught His disciples? In Mark 9:2-8, Jesus takes Peter, James, and John to the top of a high mountain, and He was transfigured before them. Revealing His divine and glorious nature, His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became dazzling white. Verse 7 (NIV) says, ”Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: 'This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!’” Are you listening to Him?

Is God fair? Our first impulse is to say, “Of course! God treats everyone the same!” I’m here to tell you that God is not fair. Some get cancer, others don’t. Some succeed in life, and others don’t. Some are surrounded by love, and others by strife and conflict. And while we may want God to be fair, I’m here to tell you, you do not want God to be fair! Do you really want to suffer the full weight of the wrath of God because of your sin? How can you escape God’s wrath? You need a Savior! And there is only one who is worthy of satisfying God’s verdict of death!

When was the last time, if ever, you spoke to someone about Jesus Christ? Did your message come across clearly, or did you hesitate suddenly because you lost...

The good news of the “Gospel” is this: God loves YOU so much He sent Jesus to die on a cross, in YOUR place, paying God’s penalty for YOUR sin. He was buried and rose from the dead three days later, for YOU! It is this message that “…is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). Do you believe this? There is no cost - it is a free gift from God. It is your choice to accept. Don’t delay! Don’t hesitate! The times and the culture are dark, but the Light of the world will guide your steps if you choose to believe.

What might be your biggest obstacle to a more consistent, fruitful, and satisfying prayer life? The most common response to this question is busyness: there are not enough hours in the day to fit that in. Another common deterrent to consistent prayer is the feeling that God is not answering, which can shake steadfast faith. When I am in either of these situations, one of the first things I’ve encouraged myself to do is turn to Psalm 37:4 (ESV), which says, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

Have you ever had someone ask you, “Are you Born Again?” What does that really mean? The Bible teaches we are all born spiritually dead in our sins and under the wrath of God. Through faith in Jesus Christ, God raises the new believer from the dead, and a spiritual transformation takes place in their heart. Jesus told Nicodemus, If you really want to see heaven, you must be born from above. In other words, your heart must be spiritually transformed into a new creation. Jesus wanted Nicodemus to understand that religion without a relationship with Him leaves you spiritually dead in your sins and under the wrath of God.

Did you know there’s an old gospel song written in 1889 that represents a longing for traditional, simple faith? The chorus goes something like this, “Give me that old time religion … that old time religion … that old time religion, it’s good enough for me!” That “old-time religion” doesn’t seem good enough anymore. Now it’s more about a “Show Time Religion” rather than that “Old Time Religion.” It’s about beautiful buildings, exciting social programs, a rock concert environment with loud music, flashing lights, fog, and a short, “feel-good” sermon.
