Let Revival Begin in Me

It is easy to look around and identify everything that is wrong.

We can point to corruption in government, confusion in our culture, compromise in the Church, and a growing indifference toward the things of God. We can blame politicians, public schools, social media, Hollywood, or whichever news network raised our blood pressure this week.

There is certainly no shortage of problems. Nobody is going to run out anytime soon. But pointing out what is wrong is not the same thing as bringing about what is right.

What Faithfulness Looks Like As We Wait For The Return of Jesus

Children have a gift for asking questions adults have learned to keep to themselves. On a long drive, they ask the question every parent knows is coming: “Are we there yet?”

If we are honest, many Christians ask Jesus a similar question: When are You coming? When will You make everything right? When will pain, sickness, injustice, and death finally end?

The Final Chapter Belongs to Jesus

End-times conversations have a way of getting complicated quickly. Before long, we are sorting through seals, trumpets, bowls, beasts, timelines, and theories. Faithful Christians do not agree on every detail, and we should be honest enough to admit that.

But Scripture does not leave us confused about the destination.

The Grave Does Not Get the Final Word

There are few subjects that create more curiosity—and more confusion—than the return of Jesus.

People build charts. They study headlines. They watch wars, elections, earthquakes, new technology, and events in the Middle East. Before long, every breaking-news alert becomes another possible piece of the end-times puzzle.

How to Stay Faithful When Life Gets Hard

Anyone can have a spiritual high.

It is easy to trust God when the prayer is answered, the relationship is strong, the bills are paid, and the future looks promising. It is easy to worship when you just received good news. It is easy to serve when people notice your effort and thank you for it.

Faithfulness becomes harder when the emotions fade, and life does not improve as quickly as you hoped.

Are You Watching... or Building?

There is a noticeable difference between a spectator and a participant.

Think about your favorite sports team. Thousands of fans fill the stadium every game. They cheer. They celebrate. They complain when a play doesn't go their way. They debate coaching decisions. They wear the jersey. They know the statistics.

But when the game ends, the fans go home.

The players leave exhausted.

Live Ready!

There is something about waiting for an important event that changes the way we live before it arrives.

When parents are expecting their first child, they do not wait until the baby is born to begin preparing. They paint the nursery, buy a crib, install a car seat, rearrange schedules, and rethink the family budget. The baby has not arrived yet, but the certainty of what is coming has already begun to reshape their priorities.

That is the picture Paul gives us of the Christian life. Jesus has promised that He will return. We do not know the day or the hour, and we cannot control when it happens. But the certainty of His return should change the way we live right now.

Pick Up Your Brick | What Nehemiah Teaches About Serving, Leadership, and Building God's Kingdom

It's easy to look at the brokenness in our world and assume someone else will fix it.

  • Someone else will mentor that student.

  • Someone else will serve in the children's ministry.

  • Someone else will share the gospel with that neighbor.

  • Someone else will step into leadership.

  • Someone else will meet the need.

The problem with "someone else" is that if everyone waits for someone else, nothing ever gets built. That's exactly the world Nehemiah stepped into.

Nostalgia Can Become Spiritual Drift: Learning to Trust God for What's Next

Most people think spiritual drift starts with rebellion. A dramatic decision. A crisis of faith. A moment when someone suddenly walks away from God.

But more often, drift begins with something that feels far less dangerous: Nostalgia.

Remembering the past isn’t wrong. In fact, Scripture repeatedly tells God's people to remember.

  • Remember God's faithfulness.

  • Remember His provision.

  • Remember His miracles.

  • Remember His promises.

The problem isn't remembering yesterday. The problem is when we start trying to live there. Because eventually nostalgia can become a substitute for faith.

Comfort Is Costing You More Than You Think

Most people assume the biggest threat to their future is failure.

  • Failure at work.

  • Failure in relationships.

  • Failure in their faith.

But Scripture paints a different picture. Sometimes the greatest threat isn't failure at all. Sometimes it's comfort.
