Thresholds

White-Flag Faith

September 25, 2016 • Jeff Lyle

The ongoing response toward God of every Christian is that of perpetual surrender. Trust always encompasses a yielding of ourselves to the character and promises of God. Spiritual intimacy, holy power, inner-peace, godly confidence and relational wholeness all proceed from a heart that is postured in surrender toward God. Christians should take a white-flag with them wherever they go.

Joyful, Generous Sharing

We can only consider that we have might have engaged in spiritual maturity, when we can discern that we have begun living generously.

All of us are actively living for something. Jesus-followers have been called and empowered to live for something gloriously good & completely satisfying, so let's be wise not to squander our days pursuing available substitutes. Listen as an ancient billionaire tells us what happened to him when he got sidetracked. Let's learn from his miscues.

Stepping Out of Shame

Most of us have been the target of someone saying, 'Shame on you!' Beautifully, for the followers of Jesus, this is a spiritual impossibility. When we come to Jesus, He declares, 'Shame off of you - forever!

The Scariest Step
