walking through seasons of spiritual dryness
passion for the glory of God
Passion for the glory of God is similar to our growth in heart character. It is not something that we do or obtain, but something that God develops in us. Paul writes that suffering, produces perseverance, perseverance character, and character hope – hope in the glory of God. When we set our hope on the glory of God, it is like setting our eyes on a fixed point on the horizon, allowing us to walk in a straight path through the desert seasons.
what is God’s plan for revival?
The record of Jesus’ first miracle gives us a demonstration and blueprint of God’s plan for revival in our lives and our churches.
think God’s heartbeat
Throughout my high school years serving my church youth group, I was like person who had no vision. I faithfully served God and my friends, but there was no big picture perspective and no understanding about what my service was all about. I served because I loved God and my church, and also because it was the right thing to do. I lived as a Christian unrestrained and undisciplined as a result of having no vision.
Currently reminding myself…
This too shall pass.
