Dear Friend,
May I share a story that is very dear to my heart?
It's a story of hillbillies and simple folk, net casters and tax collectors. A story of a movement that exploded like a just-opened fire hydrant out of Jerusalem and spilled into the ends of the earth: into the streets of Paris, the districts of Rome, and the ports of Athens, Istanbul, Shanghai, and Buenos Aires. A story so mighty, controversial, head spinning, and life

...What inspires you? A personal motto? A quote that directs your daily life? The letters written by the apostle John and Jude focused on two simple words that define our life and permeate our actions: love and truth.

...Do your Monday actions reflect your Sunday worship? How about your claims to faith? Is your life full of noticeable changes and actions?
James, the half-brother of Jesus, wasn't impressed with talk. He knew that a life of faith was all about actions that revealed a difference in a person's life. For him, it was not that works save the Christian, but that they mark the Christian. In his letter, he boldly deals with practical
...John had been there. With Jesus when he went among the people and loved them. And John could still hear the words: I am the light of the world...I am the door...I am the way, the truth, the life... So, when John wrote his account of Jesus' life, he wrote so that others may believe and have life in Jesus' name.

...Has your peace been stolen? Dreams crushed? Hope lost? Life has a way of not turning out the way we want.
The disciple Peter knew what it was like to go through tough times. He endured threats, punishment, time in jail, beatings, and false words. He had seen enough to know how to stay strong in tough times. So he wrote a survival manual to show how we should act and respond when life isn't fair. His words of wisdom are beacons
...The book of 1 Corinthians is more than a list of sins—though many sins are mentioned—it's an epistle of patience. The Christians in Corinth were falling all over themselves for sin, and yet Paul calls them "brothers and sisters" first. Paul is angry but driven by love and eager to talk about the God of second chances.
Paul's letter confronts us today who need a spiritual check-up. Just as they were intended to
...As you read the book of Acts, you may wonder: are these the same disciples I read about in the gospels? The ones who doubted in Galilee and ran for their lives in Gethsemane? The answer is: no. They are different. The Spirit dwells within them. And what God did for them, he longs to do for you.

...Who is a mentor in your life? Who guides you through the ups and downs, helps you make decisions, is there when you have questions and doubts?
The apostle Paul knew the importance of this kind of discipleship. He mentored Timothy, a young pastor who was facing all sorts of challenges. He also pointed the way for Titus, a pastor who was shaping an early church. Paul's letters to these young leaders are packed with instruction,
...Some days we just forget. We forget the house keys. We forget the directions. We forget to return a friend's phone call. And sometimes, we forget that we belong to Jesus. It's not intentional, but it happens.
The church in Corinth had forgotten. They were divisive. Insensitive. Argumentative. Rebellious. They listened to false teachers who questioned the message of Christ and who accused Paul of being unreliable and a false
...The church in Thessalonica was a study in contrast. They had been a quiet and holy people. But after a while, they had become restless and impatient. They needed direction on how to live.
So Paul wrote the young church two letters. The first commended the believers for their faith and encouraged them to continue living according to the gospel principles he had taught. The second letter was filled with helpful hints that
...In the eighth chapter of Mark, Jesus looks at his disciples and asks them a very direct question: Who do you say that I am? You've probably been asked some important questions in your life. But the grandest of them is an anthill compared to the Everest of this question of Jesus'. He's asking us the same question today.
