The "No Vacancy" Run-Around - #2820
God has poured out the life of His Son Jesus on a cross to cancel the death penalty for your sin and then your Creator has reached out to you offering love that none of us deserves. Jesus says He knocks at the door and if you continue to ignore or reject Him, there comes a day when He stops knocking.

With Your Back To The Sun - #2812
If you wanted to draw that in picture form, you'd put you on the left side of the page and God on the right and you would be walking away from Him, with your back to Him to the source of the love and the peace and the power you desperately need. If you die with your back still to Him, erase God from the picture forever. And that's hell. Unless you can find a way to get rid of your sin and get back to Him, like the space station without the sun, the result is ultimately death.

Circling The Airport - #2801
Listen to the words of God, the only One whose opinion really matters. "It is with your heart that you believe and are justified" (made right with God). And "believe" in the Bible is a total heart commitment, admitting that as a sinner, there is nothing you can contribute to being rescued spiritually. Telling Jesus that He is your only hope because only He paid the penalty for your sin on the cross.

Guarding My Morsel, Missing The Meal - #2830
Whole communities are missing God's outpouring because churches and ministries and leaders are not working together. Again, each one is fighting for their program, their budget, their territory - and God simply turns away and says, "If you only knew what could happen in your town if you could ever get together."

The Cure that Can Kill You - #2712
Our hearts are incurably spiritual. We need a spiritual answer, and we know it. We are looking for something bigger than ourselves, something that can give us significance, that can conquer the darkness inside of us, that can take us to something better someday. Ultimately, we are looking for a Savior who can make us what we could never be otherwise and take us to a heaven we could never go to any other way.

No One To Welcome - #2604
Could it be that the peace that has eluded you for so long is peace that only God's Son can give you? Could it be there has never been peace because there's never been room for Jesus? I know how sad I felt when the person we worked to bring home never came. Imagine how Jesus feels when someone He died for doesn't come?

The Verdict and the Penalty Are Already In - #5917
There's one verdict, and one sentence we don't have to wait for - yours and mine. The verdict and the penalty are already in. Not from a jury, but from the Judge. The Judge we must all face - God Himself. Deep down inside, we know that on the other side of our last heartbeat, which He decides by the way, we'll face our Creator. The Bible gives us a sobering warning about that: "Prepare to meet your God."

Your Visa and Your Passport - #5916
Why are we so bound up in building this kingdom for ourselves in a place where we're just visiting? We are so entangled with earth-stuff that we neglect the things that will matter forever.

One Velcro Friend - #5911
Our sins are very serious business, and they carry a death penalty which Jesus paid for you. I don't know if you've had a lot of relationships, and you hoped each one would be the ultimate harbor for your heart, and it wasn't. Jesus is life's only safe harbor, and you need to be in the safety of His love.

Front Lines Surrender and Front Lines Victory - #5910
The battle looming ahead of you is not the battle that will decide what happens to you. It's the battle inside you. The battle that can be settled today as you quit fighting God and walk into the arms of Jesus, the strongest arms in the world.
