Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand. Romans 14:4 (NIV) As a member of your family, you are helping to create the culture of your home, whether you realize it or not. Is it an attractive culture? Think of your favourite coffee shop or restaurant. It houses an atmosphere that keeps you coming back. You want to spend time there because of its culture. Your home can have that kind of attractive culture as well—one that keeps family coming back for more. It can be an inviting place where, no matter what, everyone feels loved, accepted and forgiven. This is a great atmosphere for …

RUN WITH PASSION & URGENCY
Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:11–12 (The Message) It’s up to you to seize the kind of life you want. Most people think that the eternal life mentioned in today’s verses refers to heaven, but it also refers to your quality of life here on earth. So when it says to “lay hold on eternal life” (KJV), it’s also talking about the here and now. Notice it doesn’t say you should hope for this life. It doesn’t even say to pray for this life, although we know that prayer is powerful. It says to lay hold of the …
YOUR BIGGEST TEMPTATION
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. Galatians 5:17 (NIV) In life, there will be times when you have to face challenges—financial struggles, heath problems, people lying about you—and you’ll need to stay strong. But one of the biggest temptations you’ll ever face as a Christian is the desire to just chill out and relax. When no one else around you seems to be working hard or when everything seems to be going fine without your help, you can lose your sense of urgency and your passion for the cause of Christ. The trouble is that forgetting …
GRACE IS WITH YOU TO GO THE DISTANCE
Grace is with you to go the distance Grace be with you. 1 Timothy 6:21 (NKJV) Have you been getting frustrated or feeling burned out by trying to do what you believe God wants you to do? Don’t forget that, as a believer, you have the grace of God to do what He’s asking you to do. But what is grace? Grace is the favour, power, ability, capacity, strength, joy and peace of God we have as we live the amazing life of purpose He has for us. That’s His grace. Grace has been with you from the moment you gave your life to Christ. But you stop living in that grace when you stop trusting that you have it. This “fall from grace” doesn’t refer to falling …
