Abide Wednesday

A message from Max Lucado. . . 

We’re all hitting the wall about right now.

In these unprecedented and challenging times, the enemy of our soul wants to whisper, with sinister intent, “You will never make it. This road ahead is too long and too challenging.”

God speaks a different message. Through his Word, by his Holy Spirit, and through the lives of wonderful examples, God declares with heavenly wisdom, “You’ll get through this. It won’t be painless. It won’t be quick. But I will use this mess for good.”


God is near even when it seems there is no way to make it through.
With God’s help, we’ll get through this—together.
~ Max

Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us. 

1 John 3:24

Until Next Time

Abide Wednesday

This is from Francis Chan.

I've read several of his books and enjoy his teaching.

"Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people He has made."

"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing." - 1 Cor. 13

John 13:34 - 

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 

How do we find that kind of love, by ABIDING in Him.

Until Next Time
