Short reflections rooted in Scripture. | Max B.

The religious person strives to keep a written or unwritten code of rules. The spiritual person bears the fruit of love that springs from soil enriched by a treasury of intimate experiences with God and His Word.

The tension of living as faithful stewards in this world while remaining pilgrims not of it finds its simple, powerful resolution in loving God and loving our neighbor.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

If the world is passing away, why hold on to it with such a tight grip? Jesus is forever.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

The reason few truly pray is that few truly desire the depths of God’s presence.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

When our hearts are heavy, we have a divine invitation to pray.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Sadness is not always a symptom of sin; it can be the very heart of godly intercession.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

If we truly desire God’s best, we must step out in faith — embracing the uncomfortable and even the radical.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

To know God is to love God.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

History is not the arbiter of truth—Scripture is.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

If Scripture remains only in the head and never reaches the heart, we’re religious at best and nominal at worst.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

If we lack the Spirit’s inward witness that we are children of God, we may have nothing more than mere intellectual belief.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Scripture is sufficient for all faith and practice. Every serious believer must diligently study it.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Any tradition not clearly rooted in Scripture must be reevaluated. God’s Word, not human custom, is our final authority.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Without the Spirit, we cannot truly understand the Word of God.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

When we are filled with the Spirit there is boldness!! Pray in the Spirit and be filled!

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

There is hope for every person who turns to Jesus.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Christianity is no mere intellectual exercise. It’s walking with Jesus empowered by the Spirit.

[Plumbline Faith @PlumblineFaith]

In the multi-gifted, multi-part, multi-functional Body of Christ, there’s very little we can’t accomplish together as He wills …

Once we give up the need to control it, own it or brand it.

[AnchorThisDay @AnchorThisDay]

Don’t be surprised when you get pushback for the things you are convinced God has called you to do. Many people walk and judge according to the flesh.
