The Duty of Mankind

I remember growing up as an Amish boy, and whenever I would be around my elderly relatives having an immense amount of respect for them. You didn’t talk to them in any sort of disrespectful tone, you didn’t disobey them, you acted in a quiet and respectful manner whenever they were around. It was not that I had to be told to do this, I just somehow understood it.

Mortality

See, “on behalf of” is a phrase that means “in place of”, and it means that when Christ suffered and died He did so as a representative for you and me. He did it in our place! Now, because of that sacrifice we never have to fear death.

Why Not?

Worship begins with a heart that stands humbly before the God of the universe and trusts Him for everything that we need.

Contentment

I am constantly trying to muti-task. It seems as though when I “finish” (that never seems to happen) a project, I am upset that I have fallen way behind on another one and I feel guilty for taking time to “enjoy” the fruits of the time spent on the last project. Maybe you know how that feels too?

Worship without sight

I know that it is harder to do so when life seems to be falling apart around us, when culture seems to be dismissing the very existence of God, and when we just can’t seem to see Him at work anywhere, but this is precisely when it is the most important for us to choose to offer up worship to Him! It is in these moments that faith is engaged and blessing is always poured out when we activate faith!
