God is not absent from the pain and suffering of our world. He did not just get this world going and leave it to its own devices. He cares about the injustice, evil and moral decay that is spiraling out of control in our land.

The Story of God: Raising The Bar

June 28, 2016

For Abraham and his household receiving circumcision was an act of obedience that (1) showed you were trusting in God’s promises, (2) declared you were identifying as His people and (3) said you were choosing to live set-apart for God’s purposes to bless the world.

This story should give us pause. It should make us think twice about doing an end run on God’s will. It should make us think twice about the disappointments and delays we face in life.

Abram gave all credit for His victory to God, signified by his giving a tithe of the spoils to Melchizedek. He didn’t take anything for himself. He never said, “What’s in it for me?” No, he would rather take nothing so as to protect God’s good name.

The Story of God: The Test of Prosperity

June 5, 2016

By giving Lot his choice of territory and accepting the outcome, Abram had a humble perspective on his prosperity. He knew that all he had acquired had come from the Lord. Abram was content in his faith and it freed him to be generous.

The Story of God: Tests of Faith

Fear is the enemy of faith. And when we let fear control us rather than trust, it can lead us to do some pretty questionable things.

Blessed to Be A Blessing

Our forgiveness of others is what makes us most like Jesus. That’s why Jesus wants us to pray this way. He wants us to treat others the same way He has treated us. Think of it this way:The price God paid to forgive you is the same price He paid to forgive the person who wronged you.
