I feel led to encourage someone to go in the name

I feel led to encourage someone to go in the name of the Lord today. I don’t know where God is calling you to step out by faith or what challenges await you today, but go in his name.

Why? Well, his name is a strong tower.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10 ESV

Ancient communities often set up strong towers at the highest point in their cities. This is where its residents would flee to when faced with impending danger. They knew that they could find refuge from potential attacks when they took cover in the strong tower.

Go in his name because his name is a strong tower. He is with you. He is your source of safety and protection.

You do not have to be afraid when you trust in his name.

You can find refuge there and rest for your weary soul.

He lifts the burden off your shoulders so that you can lie down in beautiful green pastures.

He is stable when the circumstances of life are not. He is your security when all else seems uncertain.

Go in his name. ❤️

We celebrate today because Jesus truly rose from t

We celebrate today because Jesus truly rose from the grave. He conquered sin and defeated death. No one else could do that. Jesus is King above all kings and Lord over every lord and today, he requires a response from you. If you hear his voice, do not harden your heart. Jesus invites you to come to him and receive freedom from sin and shame.

We celebrate because his resurrection paid for our freedom - it paid for yours too, you simply have to receive.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

The new life you can experience in Christ is greater than anything this world has to offer. Don’t turn your savior away.

Dear Christian friends: may we live each and every day with the resurrection in mind. May our lives prove that we really believe this miracle to be true. May we lay aside our sin and our shame, and may we walk in freedom each day with Christ.

If you feel led, please share with a friend who needs to hear these words. ❤️

Crucifixion was a shameful way to die. It was one

Crucifixion was a shameful way to die. It was one of the worst forms of punishment in Greco-Roman society back in the second century. It was reserved for the most vile criminals.

The Jewish Sanhedrin put Jesus on trial for attempting to stir up an insurrection against Rome. Pilate couldn’t find him guilty and Herod, who previously sought to kill Jesus, couldn’t find him guilty either. He was completely innocent; no fault could be found within him.

And yet, he hung on a cross reserved for the worst kinds of criminals. Why?

For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 CSB

What was the joy that lay before him? The opportunity to make a way for you and me to freely enter the presence of God. The joy of reconciling formerly estranged children back to their Heavenly Father.

The wages of sin is death and we were guilty of transgressing against God. Every last one of us deserved to hang on that cross. But, God said “no.”

Instead, he sent Jesus to be condemned to an agonizing death for sins he did not commit so that we could receive life we did not deserve.

I want you to remember that Jesus died as a human being. I think we often forget that. Yes, he was God in the flesh but he suffered as a man. Willingly.

Think of the worst pain you’ve experienced, the worst sense of rejection, the worst betrayal. Jesus endured all that and more when he went to the cross. He bore our sin and took our shame. He set us free.

I pray that we take some time to sit and contemplate the weight of this incredible sacrifice today. May we never take it for granted.

When Zechariah spoke these words, there was no rea

When Zechariah spoke these words, there was no reason to rejoice:

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Zechariah 9:9 ESV

The people of Judah had recently returned from Babylonian exile to an unfamiliar land. Needless to say, the place they once called home was very different. For one thing, the temple - the place where the presence of God resided - had been destroyed and the efforts to rebuild were met with opposition. Jerusalem seemed small and insignificant. Not to mention, they were still unfaithful to the covenant and continued living the same lifestyles that led them into exile in the first place. The glory that departed from Israel didn’t seem to be coming back anytime soon.

As prophets often do, Zechariah pointed to a king that would come in the future. He would cause wars to cease and would bring peace to the nations. He would rule over the whole earth and would save Israel from their enemies.

The first part of Zechariah’s prophecy came to pass when Jesus, the righteous and humble king, entered Jerusalem riding on a donkey. The people rejoiced. They cried out, “Hosanna,” meaning “Please save us.” They fully expected Jesus to finally overthrow their Roman oppressors.

Yes, he came to save them but not from the Romans.

They needed a spiritual renewal. Their hearts needed to be turned back to God.

This could only happen through the Messiah whose death would conquer the sin that perpetually enslaved them.

Today, we cry Hosanna just as the people of Jerusalem did back then. But what are we expecting Jesus to save us from? Are we hoping that he’ll save us from hardship? Save our finances? Make our lives better and more comfortable? Or, do we want to be saved from our sins?

Many of us are believers and have already experienced the gift of salvation. But our submission cannot end there. When Jesus comes into our lives he comes to overthrow everything that is not like himself. May we invite Jesus in daily to transform our hearts until we look more like him. ❤️

Society often holds women up to unnecessary standa

Society often holds women up to unnecessary standards. Christian culture has one set of flawed standards for women and the world has another set of flawed standards. Particularly, in Christian culture the Proverbs 31 poem is often used as a measuring stick of a woman’s worth. If she matches up with enough of it, then she’s good to go. But if not, she’s left struggling through feelings of shame, low self-worth, and inadequacy. Well, I can tell you why.

It’s because the Proverbs 31 poem was not meant to be a measuring stick of a woman’s worth.

There are many incredible qualities and achievements of the ‘Proverbs 31 Woman’ listed in the poem. She’s hardworking, provides for her family, praised by her husband, and adored by her children. And, all of those things are great.

But you know what we often miss? This little phrase: a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

The P31 Woman is so resourceful because she fears the Lord.

That’s what matters most.

So, if you’re feeling shame or inadequacy because Christian culture has held you to a set of standards you weren’t meant to live up to, take a deep breath.

Focus on this one thing — living your life with the fear of the Lord in the forefront of your heart and mind.
