Always remember, the focus of the New Testament is not on our love for God as much as it is on our coming to know the love He has for us. His love in us will drive out fear and every fear-fed issue in our lives. Consider the various things in life that are driven …
Typically, the way people love one another is very different from God’s love. Natural love is conditional. A person usually has to meet someone’s expectations in order to be loved. Then later the recipient of natural love needs to requalify — and requalify again. In fact, in order to be loved by some people, a …
There was something very different about the Apostle John. He was the youngest of all of Jesus’ disciples, but a quality lay deep within John that set him apart from all the other disciples. We can see that difference at the Last Supper and again at the foot of the Cross as Jesus hung in …
What we constantly think about is a sign of what we love. King David said, “O how I love Thy law! It is my meditation all the day” (Psalm 119:97). David loved God’s Word. That’s why he thought about it day and night. It’s not that he had nothing better to do. He was the …
We can change distorted images by simply looking into an accurate mirror that reflects our true image. James 1:23-25 says, “For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; for once he has looked at himself and …

The young, energetic elephant constantly tugs on the chain trying to …
When a police officer captures a thief, he is read his Miranda rights and then he is taken into custody. Wrong thoughts are thieves that must be captured or they will steal our God-given inheritance. The moment we recognize a thought that steals the promise of God, we must arrest it and put a stop …
At some point in time, we have all had to deal with some kind of distorted thinking. This distorted thinking may have come after damaging words were spoken by a significant person in our lives, or perhaps by a past failure. Either way, when we allow the opinions of others or our experiences to determine …
There are specific things we must do if we expect to live in all that God has planned for us. None of God’s promises come to us automatically. But when we become “doers of the Word” like James instructs us, we will begin to experience the transformation God has promised. Notice what Romans 12:2 from …
Have you ever been to an amusement park that had those crazy mirrors that make you look funny? There are mirrors that make us look really tall and thin. Others that make us look short and wide. There is also a mirror that makes us wide in the middle while our legs and neck look …
