When Our Integrity Is Tested
Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over. Matthew 26: 14-16, NIV Judah was trying to betray Jesus by asking for something in return. He was willing to give up his relationship with Him for the sake of fulfilling his own desires. He focused on the money that He would receive rather than glorifying God in the end. In so many ways, we also have tendencies to…

Find Healing In The Arms Of Jesus
This world will present you with temporary remedies – entertainment, money, possessions, achievements, and more. You will find yourself looking for answers on things that will immediately and temporarily bring you joy. Sometimes, people are tempted to find instant healing, and it destroys them in the end. This is the reason why we need to trust in Jesus and seek His will. Let’s not rely on our own understanding. When we follow the standards of this world, we will find ourselves pleasing other people.

The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8:6-8, NIV Since we live in this world, we are sometimes governed by standards and desires that will only satisfy our flesh. We seek temporary riches instead of focusing on Heavenly things. When the flesh governs our mind, it means that the worries and desires of this world occupy it. It’s okay to dream of a…

Jesus wants us to Carry our Cross and Follow Him

You will no longer face problems, and you will experience joy every single day. Yes, this may be true when we go to heaven, but as long as we are living here on earth, we will still experience moments of brokenness and pain. There will be times when we need to carry our cross. It means that we will face burdens that are heavy for us to handle. Things won’t be that smooth because Jesus knows that following Him is like going…
