As we pursue Jesus’ definition for His disciples, we learn it was essential for them to take up their crosses daily and follow Him. True discipleship is a life of sacrifice. It is a daily sacrifice of our own desires to serve Him. Still, to live for Him this way is the greatest, most fulfilling...

Choices, Part 13

There is no such thing as an “altar call” in Scripture. Nowhere in Scripture do we see invitations being given to raise our hands if we want to follow Jesus. Could these superficial ways people are now being called to follow Jesus have something to do with the superficial ways many Christians are...

Choices, Part 12

The main question is not whether we have authority to do the works of Jesus but whether we are His disciples. The multitudes who followed Jesus believed in Him and His works, but not many were called to be His disciples. His disciples were given authority to do His works. Just believing or...

Choices, Part 11

We are told in I John 3:8 Jesus was sent to “destroy the works of the devil.” Jesus also prayed to the Father concerning His disciples: “ As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world” ( John 17:18) . So, it is also our assignment to destroy the works of the devil. Acts 10:38...
