Come, Lord
It’s Lent. We’re focused on Christ’s death and resurrection. Let’s look ahead. Take the long view. Revelation 22:20 (ESV) Come, Lord Jesus!
Come, Follow
“Lead, follow or get out of the way.” I’m not sure who said it first, but I’ve heard it often. It’s not what Jesus said. Matthew 4:19 (EXB) Jesus said, “Come follow me.” Jesus didn’t say, “Here, take the … Continue reading

Let’s Help
‘Tis the season to ask: How can I help? Hebrews 10:24 (EXB) Let us think about each other and help each other [or how to provoke/rouse/encourage each another] to show love and do good deeds. Think about it. Pray … Continue reading
Let’s Hope
Lent: a time to ponder the despair of the crucifixion, followed by the hope of the resurrection. Hebrews 10:23 (NLT) Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to … Continue reading
Let’s Draw Near
Hebrews 10:22 (NIV) Let us draw near to God. “Draw near.” Other translations say approach, come near, continue to come, go right in, come to Him. What does this mean for us during Lent, this season of spiritual reflection? It … Continue reading
Let’s Be Confident
It’s Lent — not a time to be hesitant, reluctant or resistant. Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us … Continue reading
