The Christian Dream is to experience life which is all in Jesus and about Jesus.  It is to live in and through Him.  He is the believer’s life and joy. According to John chapter fifteen this life is experienced in abiding in Jesus.

As believers who have put their trust in Jesus for their salvation and sanctification, we should most definitely commit ourselves to a year of consecrated overcoming of all that hinders our walk with Jesus. The writer of Hebrews in chapter twelve verses one through three admonishes all believers to live well. As we begin the new year let us live faithfully abiding in Jesus, committed to one another as we walk in Jesus’ Spirit together. Let us not forsake meeting together in worship and service during our regular meetings.

Every election is important and every elected position is important from the president on down to local school boards. Since God sets up governments and rulers we must diligently seek Him that His will be done. We cannot allow politics to divide the Body of Christ. So let us pray, seek the Lord, and vote responsibly for that which is right.

When our hearts are humble and pleasing to the Lord, then we have no problem in making sacrifices for Jesus and His Kingdom. We realize that not only is life all about Him, but it is also all for Him. As believers surrender their lives to Him in sacrificial love testifying praise comes easy and often. Our praise once voiced ascends to the Lord like the aroma of a holy sacrifice. Our praise becomes pleasing to our awesome God.

As believers in Jesus the Christ and therefore a part of the Body of Christ we must stay focused on Jesus and remember that this is all about Him and for Him. He is to be glorified in all we do. If we lose this focus, we will tire ourselves out and feel overburdened.

As believers joyously go through each day their faith in Jesus grows as He continually works in and through their life.  Their trust in Him allows them to anticipate and wait on His goodness. 

We must continue to be faithful to burn brightly with the glory of the gospel becoming salt in the lives of those around us who are unbelieving

He never changes, even when everything else does.
