God wants to place restlessness under arrest and replace it with His rest. He wants to take anxiety into custody and make His peace your security. So let Him overwhelm you with His liberty by letting go of what's giving you over to worry.

If the devil can divide our hearts, he can divide our homes.

God loves us too much to leave us in the condition and position He found us.

The best thing we can do each day is position our hearts in a place where we can experience the Good Shepherds direction and protection.

Our obedience to the Lord brings us the presence of the Lord. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Is God still good even when the outcome from our perspective isn't good?

When we stop thanking, we start complaining. Let us never allow gratefulness fade, for God's faithfulness is great.

Do Not Worry

"Faith doesn't need to be increased as much as it simply needs to be unleashed. So when Jesus, again, made reference to the mustard seed and faith, He was encouraging His followers to speak out forgiveness in order to uproot the tree of bitterness. It takes faith to set ourselves and others free by way of forgiveness."

"Jesus said if we have mustard seed faith, we can have mountainous impact. In other words, when we place our trust in His hands, we can trust His hands will move any obstacle, opponent, or oppression according to His will and timing; And also, little becomes much when given to God. However, it is important to know that faith isn't forcing God to have our will done. Faith is actually trusting God for His will to be done."

According to the passage of reference, Jesus says these shocking words, “I never knew you”, to those who seemingly worked for Him or did work in His name. However, even though they called Jesus ‘Lord’, they were not granted access into heaven based on the list of good works that they had performed. In other words, it is possible to call Jesus Lord while not making Him Lord. And sadly, many will make this tragic and horrific mistake, one that cannot be reversed in eternity and can only be rectified in temporal time. But how?

What's the true root to bearing true fruit? It's not religion. It's not philosophy. It's not politics. It's Jesus. And fruit is the direct result of being connected to Him. You see, when we are faithful to Him, we become fruitful for Him. And that is the truest meaning of being successful. Contrary to what the world thinks, true success cannot occur apart from knowing and doing the will of God. And that's the true root to bearing true fruit.

In this sunset message, Matthew Maher challenges men to stand strong by displaying character, conviction, and compassion.

According to the passage of reference, widely known as the parable of the two builders, Jesus lays out the obvious difference between two foundations: One is made of sand and the other one of stone but both are about to be touched by a storm. However, what separates these “houses” is solely dependent upon whether or not a person hears, heeds, and builds his foundation on Jesus’ teachings. In other words, the person who follows wisdom is the person who builds upon the principles of the right kingdom. And conversely, the person who rejects wisdom becomes king of their own sandcastle. One stands strong and the other falls hard!

"Do you have solid roots? Are you standing on the truth? You see, when your roots grow deep in Christ, your life will stand strong through the storms of life. Jeremiah writes, "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is the Lord." He then likens that person to a tree planted by the water that spreads out its roots. And regardless of the heat or drought, such a tree still survives and even thrives. After hearing that--Are you that tree, planted in the water of the Word and rooted in the life of Jesus? Because storms will certainly come, and God allows them to touch us, not to hurt us, but in order to grow us. In this age of lies, we need to be rooted and resilient in the truth."
