This is a warfare we are engaged in with the devil. It’s not a scrimmage, not maneuvers, not a rehearsal for anything, and definitely not practice.

The hypocrisy that roused the Lord’s dander was the well-thought-out kind that intends to betray and misuses the position of trust.

When in trouble, we do not run to one who has never known sorrow. Instead, we seek out the one who has known failure and heartache and has gotten to his feet and is still on the job. This is the one who will understand and can counsel us.

The enemy has been messing with millions without Christ, and this has left them far removed from the childlike way they entered this world.

We have a Savior because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. There is a workable salvation!

There is a sense in which we earthlings are reproducing Jesus in this world. Or, to be more exact, the Holy Spirit is producing Christlike people in this world.

The presence of the Lord–experiencing his nearness, knowing that “he is here, in this very place”–shrivels the ego, wilts the self-confidence and overpowers one’s pride.

Being able to invest in the next generation of kingdom workers is a rare privilege, one I do not take for granted.
