What a promise!

When a secular culture sees a divided church, they really don’t care what we have to say.

Jesus prayed for his followers, “that they may all be one … so that the world may believe that you have sent me” (John 17:21).

We need to stop dividing over second- and third-tier issues and, as Christians, stand together in the unity of the faith and the proclamation of the gospel. There is so much more that unites us in Christ than divides us.

If you have fallen or failed spiritually, I have good news for you: God gives second chances.

One of the best illustrations of this is Simon Peter, who openly denied that he ever knew Jesus. In the aftermath, Peter made eye contact with Christ, and the Bible says, “Jesus looked at him”—literally, He “looked right through him.”

What kind of look did Jesus give Peter?

I’ve known Dennis Quaid for a while now, and I always enjoy sitting down with him because he’s willing to talk honestly about where life has taken him.

Dennis has had an incredible career, but his story is about much more than Hollywood. He spent years searching for what was missing, and ultimately found his way back to the Bible and a personal relationship with Jesus.

I’m certainly glad that God didn’t say yes to every prayer I ever prayed. When I look back on some things I’ve prayed for, I realize that if the Lord would have allowed them, they could have destroyed me. They were not the right things or the right situations. So, God graciously and lovingly said no.

Maturing as a believer includes learning how to pray—and especially, what to pray for. In John 15:7, Jesus gives an incredible promise regarding answered prayer. He says, “But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!” (NLT). From the original language, this verse could be understood as, “If you maintain a living communion with Me, and My Word is at home with you, I command you to ask at once for yourself whatever your heart desires, and it will be yours.”

When I read a promise like that, I gravitate immediately toward the part that says I can ask whatever my heart desires and it will be mine. But before that, Jesus said, “If you maintain a living communion with Me, and My word is at home with you. . . .” If this is happening in your life, then you’re going to want what God wants. If you’re maintaining a living communion with God and His words are at home in your heart, then your outlook, desires—and in time, your prayers—will change.

And when you unleash the full power of prayer in your life, it will never be the same.

Peter boasted he'd never deny Jesus. Hours later, he denied Him three times, and the rooster crowed.

But that wasn't his ending. Weeks later, he preached the sermon that saved 3,000 souls.

Fallen but forgiven. Broken but not abandoned. Your failure isn't final when you belong to Jesus. I’ll talk about that tomorrow at @harvestriv @HarvestOC @KumulaniChapel

@Franklin_Graham Happy Anniversary! Blessings Raindown! Love your wife's dress. So beautiful!🙂❤️🙏

God's commandments aren't a cage. They’re not given to keep you in a prison, but rather as walls or protection to keep evil out They're the blueprint for a fulfilled life. As Psalm 1 puts it, the person who delights in God's law is "like a tree planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season" — while the one who doesn't is "like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind."
