The Lord calls us not only to receive His life, but to abide in Him and allow His life to grow in us.
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.

As believers, we are not meant to live by our own strength, but to depend on the life of Christ within us. Just as branches receive their life from the vine, we grow and bear fruit by abiding in the Lord.

Even today, the Bible remains at the center of persecution.
In Tabriz, Iran, two Christian converts were sentenced to 12 years in prison each in cases involving Bibles and Christian literature.

2 Corinthians 4:7 says, “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us.” Though we are fragile and limited in ourselves, the Lord desires to fill us with Himself.

As believers, we are not only those who have received the life of Christ, but those who are being prepared to contain Him and be useful to Him. The Bible describes us as vessels, showing us that our value is not in ourselves, but in the treasure we contain.

Don’t forget to take time to be recharged by the Word of God!

In the midst of our busy days, we need to come to the Lord and receive His Word as our daily source of nourishment, refreshment, and supply.

The Lord calls us not only to receive His mercy, but to become vessels through which His riches can be displayed. May we daily open our hearts to the Lord, allowing Him to fill us with His riches and make us vessels that express Him for His glory.

We may be ordinary vessels, but God’s desire is not merely to save us, but to fill us with Himself and make His glory known through us.

In 1981, one million Bibles arrived on the shores of China through Project Pearl, bringing the Scriptures to believers who had struggled to obtain them.

In 2 Samuel 7:12-14, God promised David that He would raise up his seed and be his Father. While this prophecy points to Solomon, it also reveals something greater about Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to be a brother of Christ?

Through His death and resurrection, Christ opened the way for us to receive God's life and become His sons (Heb. 2:11). As the Firstborn among many brothers, Christ is bringing us into His image to fulfill God's eternal purpose.

Some things are in our hands, and some things are in His.

The Lord Jesus is the Firstborn among many brothers. Through the growth of His life in us, He is making us more like Christ. This is God’s purpose for us– that Christ would be seen in us and lived out through us.

[Upon the Foundation @uponthefndn]

As believers, we aren't only those who received Christ, but those conformed to His image. Regeneration makes us brothers of Christ, sharing His life and growing, so that we express Him.
“He is not ashamed to call them brothers.” – Hebrews 2:11

How does our experience of Christ become a blessing to others?
Through our sufferings, we experience Christ as comfort. The comfort we receive from the Lord becomes a supply we can share, allowing our experience of Christ to become a blessing.

Access to the Bible wasn't always easy. In 1234 A.D. Spain decreed that no one could own the Bible in their own language. Disobeying meant death, yet the desire to read God’s Word continued.

Sometimes, ministry looks like the ordinary things of life. 🤍
It’s not just in the big moments, but in the little ways we serve together and bear one another's burdens. Even the ordinary can be an expression of the life we share.

The Lord calls us not only to belong to Him, but to know His voice and follow Him.
John 10:27 says, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” As the Lord’s sheep, our Christian life is a life of hearing, knowing, and following.
