I hope that you celebrated Christ’s resurrection joyfully this past Sunday. Resurrection is at the heart of the Christian life and message. If there is any doubt about the reality of Christianity, the resurrection of Jesus Christ needs to be the focus of attention.

The Apostle Paul’s thorough presentation concerning Christ’s resurrection and the resurrection of all Christians was prompted by some in Corinth who denied that there was any resurrection for anyone. So, the...

CHAPTER 13 Trust His Sovereignty and Sufficiency 

One of the popular metaphors for life these days is “the journey.” When people speak of being on a journey, the emphasis is often on the experiences and the process they are going through rather than their final destination.

The Christian journey certainly includes experience, process, development, and growth. But the final destination is clear and certain. Furthermore, the...

CHAPTER 11 Live by Faith 

Certainly one of the critical moments in our Lord’s earthly life was the time in Gethsemane before His arrest and all the events of His passion.

Despite the presence of the disciples, the Son of God (in a very real sense) was alone with His Father in moments of agony and surrender. The Lord was “troubled and deeply distressed,” and He said that His “soul [was] exceedingly sorrowful,...

CHAPTER 10 Multiplying Yourself 

Have you ever received a boxed product that had a little slip of paper or sticker inside with a name or number on it? I have. The name or number represented the person responsible for the inspection of the item or product sent. In short, that name or number indicated that the item was indeed “send-able.” Someone had inspected the item and authorized that it be sent out.
