We live under the sun, but our destiny is beyond its rising and setting.

There is a sense in which the Christian's life on earth is a dress rehearsal for heaven. Not in terms of costumes and theatrics, but in terms of worship and devotion to the One we will worship for all eternity - the Lamb who sits on the throne of heaven.

We are sometimes tempted to believe the lie that God does not love us. Thankfully the Bible is filled with evidence that this is not true.

God is love (1 John 4:8, 16) and God is sovereign (Acts 4:24). Those biblical truths must define our response to every circumstance in life.

Faith that is not evidenced by a life of integrity is not biblical faith at all.

That’s the way it is with our Father in Heaven. When you became a son or a daughter, when you were adopted into His family, He opened up for you through His Son’s death on the cross a way of fellowship and relationship that makes it possible for you to bypass the temple and its animal sacrifices. You don’t have to talk to God through a priest. You can go right into the presence of God Almighty and He will hear you.

Worship seals all prayers at the front and at the back. Always pray with praise beginning and praise ending.
