Coming up next

In these last days, we will see unprecedented global changes, but not all of them will be good. Persecution will increase as part of Satan’s targeted attack against believers and against God’s church. The enemy will use shame, guilt, and condemnation as weapons; we are to respond by standing in our righteousness and in our identity in Christ.

Emotional maturity is a key component to a successful Christian life. Being emotionally mature requires flexibility, which allows us to adapt to situations as they arise. Flexibility in God’s eyes involves yielding to Him and doing His will, not ours. A willingness to humble ourselves in this manner allows God to use us to do great things.

On our Christian walk, we’re gradually becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. Despite our progress, however, there’s still a gap between who God says we are and what we see in our everyday lives; although He says we’re the righteousness of God, sometimes we still do unrighteous things. God never contradicts Himself; although our stance in perfection was forever determined when we believed in Jesus, our state of perfection, which refers to our earthly lives, is still unfinished.
