Day 32 – Maybe the Question Isn’t Only ‘Do You Trust God’…?

Read Luke 16: 10-12 Reflect Maybe it’s also “Can God trust you?” Let me explain. We know that being ‘good’ doesn’t get us into heaven, right? Right. Trusting in Jesus as our Saviour who made the sacrifice for our sin is what saves us, not our good works. If you have any doubt about how

Day 29 – Were You A Sucker for Gold Stars?

Read Luke 16:10-12 Reflect Gold stars. You know what I’m talking about… the little stickers that teachers give out to students when they go above and beyond what’s required. I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid I wanted those gold stars. A pass wasn’t good enough. I wanted that shiny goodness that

Day 28 – What is God's Will, Anyway?

Read Gal 5:19-22, Romans 12:2 Reflect Whether you believe God might be out there, or whether you have committed your life to Jesus, you have probably wondered this. “What is God’s will, anyway?” When I hear this question, it is usually in reference to some large future event, to a divine purpose in life, or

Day 16 – You Don’t Have to Be That Good to Get Into Heaven

Read Romans 3:23-26 Reflect I’m always surprised when people tell me they’re waiting to become Christians because they need to get their act together. Or that God must not like them because somehow they don’t measure up. Really? Since when did that become the standard for becoming a Christian or being loved by God? It’s

Day 15 – What If You’re Not Good Enough?

Read Romans 3:23-25 Reflect Good people go to heaven. That seems to be the prevailing view, doesn’t it? Just live a good life, try not to commit a terrible crime, and hopefully God will be merciful and you will get into heaven. Or maybe you want to believe that pretty much everyone makes it to

Day 13 – You Don't Deserve It

Read John 13 Reflect Have you ever been shown love when you felt so undeserving? Or perhaps the opposite, YOU helped someone in need that you felt really didn’t deserve it? In John 13 we witness Jesus’ humble himself and serve His disciples.   Jesus is the Son of God,  yet he humbles Himself as a
