Sablažnjen o Krista

U Mateju 11 nalazimo Ivana Krstitelja u tamnici. Njegovu snažnu pomazanu službu mnogima u Izraelu grubo je prekinuo kralj Herod. Mnoštvo koje je gorljivo slijedilo Ivana sad je nestalo. "Glas jednoga koji viče u pustinji" utihnuo je. Ivanova javna služba trajala je samo godinu dana. Ali tijekom toga

Zašto svijet mrzi kršćane

Isus je svojim učenicima rekao: "…ja sam vas izabrao i odredio vas da idete i rodite rod…" A onda je dodao ove snažne riječi: "…i da vaš rod ostane" (Iv 15,16). Ove Kristove riječi odnose se na sve Njegove učenike u svakom razdoblju vremena. On nam zapravo govori: "Osigurajte se da vaš rod podnese

Bog vas nije zaboravio

Jeste li ikada upoznali depresiju? Jeste li ikada bili tako zabrinuti i zbunjeni da ste provodili besane noći? Jeste li imali periode kad ste bili tako nisko i tako uznemireni da vas nitko nije mogao utješiti? Jeste li bili tako na dnu da ste osjećali da se predajete i da vam je život u potpunom

Vrijeme je žetve

"A kad vidje mnoštvo naroda, sažali se nad njim, jer bijahu satrveni i zapušteni kao ovce bez pastira. Tada reče svojim učenicima: 'Žetva je velika, a poslenika malo. Zato molite gospodara žetve da pošalje poslenike u žetvu svoju" (Mt 9,36-38). Isus je izjavio: "Polja su zrela i žetva je velika

On ne lomi napuknutu trsku

"Evo Sluge mojega koga podupirem, mog izabranika, miljenika duše moje. Na njega sam svoga duha izlio, da donosi pravo narodima. On ne viče, on ne diže glasa, niti se čuti može po ulicama. On ne lomi napuknutu trsku niti gasi stijenj što tinja. Vjerno on donosi pravdu, ne sustaje i ne malakše dok na

Hodanje u Duhu

"Ako živimo u Duhu, u Duhu i hodajmo" (Gal 5,25). Tu je vrlo jednostavna uputa apostola Pavla. On nam jasno govori: "Ako Duh Sveti živi u vama, onda neka ima puni nadzor nad vašim životom. Sve nas trebao bi voditi Duh." Duh Sveti je poslan da bude naš neprestani nepogrešivi vodič i On obitava u

Snaga opraštanja

Opraštanje nije samo jednokratno djelo, ono je stil života, s namjerom da bismo ušli u svaki blagoslov u Kristu. "A ja vam kažem: Ljubite svoje neprijatelje i molite za one koji vas progone, kako biste postali sinovi svoga Oca nebeskog..." (Mt 5,44-45). Prema Isusu, opraštanje nije stvar odabira

Evanđelje bez zapreka

Djela apostolska završavaju jednom zapanjujućom opaskom. Posljednja dva retka nalaze Pavla u okovima u kućnom pritvoru, gdje ga čuvaju rimski vojnici. Međutim, pročitajte radosnu bilješku kojom je opisana Pavlova situacija: "Pavao ostade pune dvije godine u svom iznajmljenom stanu, gdje je primao

Davanje Bogu potpunog nadzora

Većina čitatelja zna da je Vrhovni sud u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama presudio da Deset zapovijedi ne smije biti izloženo nigdje na sudu. Taj značajan događaj iscrpno je bio pokriven medijima. Ali što znači presuditi? Sud je gdje se provode zakoni. A Deset zapovijedi predstavljaju Božji moralni

Nije svaka kušnja test

Bog se ne raduje u testiranju svoje djece. Biblija govori da Krist suosjeća s nama u svim našim kušnjama, dotaknut osjećajima naših slabosti. U Otkrivenju 2,9 govori crkvi: "Poznam tvoju nevolju i tvoje siromaštvo..." Zapravo govori: "Znam kroz što prolaziš. Možda to ne razumiješ, ali ja znam sve o

Traženje lica Božjeg

U Psalmu 27 David traži Boga u žarkoj molitvi, a u 7. retku preklinje: "Slušaj, o Jahve, glas moga vapaja, milostiv mi budi, usliši me!" Njegova je molitva usmjerena na jednu želju, jednu ambiciju, jednu stvar koja ga je izjedala: "Za jedno molim Jahvu, samo to ja tražim" (Ps 27,4). David svjedoči:

Uzalud sam se trudio

Ovo je poruka za sve koji žive pod teretom obeshrabrenja. Dok promatrate svoj život, očajni ste zbog izjalovljenih očekivanja. Držite da u životu niste mnogo postigli, a kako vrijeme odmiče, vidite da se mnoga obećanja nisu ispunila. Godinama ste molili i molili, ali vjerujete da se stvari koje vam

Njegovo Je Oko na Vrapcima

Čitav svijet sad drhti nad izljevom terora i nesreća koje se događaju širom svijeta. Svaki dan kad se probudimo saznamo za novu katastrofu. Neki promatrači kažu da smo svjedoci početka Trećega svjetskog rata. Prvo, teroristi su digli u zrak vlakove u Španjolskoj, a onda su mase poginule u

Veliki i Posljednji Otpad

Apostol Pavao govori o velikom otpadu koji treba doći na zemlju u posljednjim danima. Što je otpad? To je "odbacivanje jednom vjerovane i navješćivane istine". Jednostavno rečeno, to je otpad od istine Božje. Pavao piše o otpadu koji dolazi: "Molim vas, braćo, za dolazak našega Gospodina Isusa

Molitva u tajnoj klijeti

Imam za vas jedno pitanje: Što narod Božji može činiti u vrijeme predstojećeg suda da bi ganuo srce Gospodnje? Kao nikada ranije, vidimo prirodne katastrofe silnih razmjera: plimne valove, uragane, vatre, poplave, suše. Mislim na pustošenja koja su potresla svijet, a koja su donijeli tsunami, uragan

Kad Ste Prirasli Srcu Božjem

Job pita: "Što je čovjek da ga toliko ti cijeniš, da je srcu tvojem tako prirastao, i svakoga jutra da njega pohodiš i svakoga trena da ga iskušavaš" (Job 7,17-18)? Poslanica Hebrejima 12,1 govori nam da je svijet okružen oblakom svjedoka koji su s Kristom u slavi. Moje pitanje je komu to veliko

The Bountiful Servant

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work…. Now may he who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your

Fulfilling Your Destiny

“In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:11-12, NKJV, my emphasis). We have been predestined to a

God Is Faithful, Even When We Are Not

I know all about the restraining hand of the Lord. He allows his children to go only so far but no further. In my early days of ministry, he restrained me when I was ready to quit during times of awful discouragement. At times, I felt overwhelmed by all the financial responsibilities. I felt like a failure as a husband and father as well. I would get so low about my overwhelming obligations that I thought my faith would shatter completely.

The Power of the Hidden Man

After Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, his listeners sat in awe. Scripture says, “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Matthew 7:28-29, NKJV). The Greek word for authority in this verse means “with mastery, power, liberty; as one in control.” Jesus’ listeners were saying, in essence, “This man knows what he’s talking about.”

Don’t Lose Heart

His answer to your prayer is coming. Our ministry receives letters from many Christians who have somehow lost heart. These are followers of Christ who have truly been saved. They’ve tasted the mercy and goodness of the Lord and experienced joy, peace, hope and gladness of heart. Then something

Jesus Christ, the Only Way Out

In all our trials, we are to cling to the Savior. When Jesus said, “I am the way” (John 14:6, NKJV), he issued a powerful proclamation to his church. Tragically, we have not fully understood the power behind his words here. I believe if the church today truly grasped the simple statement that Jesus

Aggressive Kindness

The Holy Ministry of Reconciliation Most Christians I know are kind, loving, considerate, caring and helpful. I believe very few in the church think of themselves as unkind. I don’t think you can be a true Christian and be unkind. When we think of kind people, our image is of quiet, soft-spoken men

Disappointments Can Be Dangerous

Clinging to God’s Name in Our Anguish Every child of God suffers disappointments. At times we can feel totally defeated, despairing and dead inside because all our hopes, dreams and visions have gone wrong. We may hope for something, seeking God for it and waiting for it expectantly, but we never

The Nearness of God

He is never closer than in our trials I want to share with you two verses from Helen Spurrell’s translation of the original Hebrew text: “When designing pursuers approached me, who are far from thy law; then thou, O Jehovah, wast near, with all thy faithful commandments” (Psalm 119:150-151)

Who Told You You're Unworthy?

Listening to the Cross Instead of the Accuser Who told you that you’re unworthy, no good, useless, unusable to God? Who keeps reminding you that you’re weak, helpless, a total failure? Who told you that you’ll never measure up to God’s standard? We all know where this voice comes from. It’s the

Don’t Waste Your Afflictions

Know that He is Completing a Good Work in You “But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel” (Philippians 1:12, NKJV). In this verse, Paul tells the Christians in Philippi not to worry about all the things they’d

The Redemptive Judgments of God

In Jeremiah 32, the prophet describes a dire scene. Jerusalem was surrounded by Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldean army. Outside the city, the enemy was building large mounts to send their troops over the walls. Any Israelite who looked down on this scene was surely filled with a sense of doom

Confessing Christ

"Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 10:32-33). What does it mean to confess or deny Christ before men? The Greek word

Boldness to Enter God's Presence

“Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith” (Hebrews 10:19–20, 22). There are two sides to Christ’s work at Calvary
