“We know we ought to know more about the Bible—but perhaps you’re like many Christians: It’s so overwhelming you’ve never really gotten into it. The first step is to realize what it is: God’s “love letter” to you. From one end to the other it tells of God’s love for us—a love so great that He sent His Son into the world to redeem us. You wouldn’t ignore a letter from someone who loved you; don’t ignore God’s love letter either.”

“Fearing Queen Jezebel’s rage and convinced the people’s hearts were unchanged, Elijah flees into the desert and concludes he is a failure: “I have had enough, LORD.” How did God answer? First, He provided him with rest and food; Elijah had neglected to take care of himself, and it affected his emotions. Second, God showed Him His glory, reminding Elijah of the greatness of the God he served. Finally, God assured him that He still had work for him to do. When discouragement comes and you wonder if you can go on, remember Elijah—and be encouraged.”

“Life can be hard, and sometimes it leaves us confused, or even angry and bitter. And like Job, you may have told God exactly how you felt. And why not? He already knew your mind and heart, and He doesn’t want us to pretend that everything is all right when it isn’t. He didn’t chastise Job for his honesty; He understood his heartache, just as He understands ours—and He still loved Job, just as He still loves us. But Job didn’t just keep complaining (as we’re prone to do). Instead, he turned toward God in faith, and in time, God gave him comfort and peace. Not all his questions were answered—but he realized that God can be trusted, even when we don’t understand. May this be true of you.”

“Why don’t God’s standards change according to the fashions and whims of the times? One reason is because God is absolutely pure—and these standards are a reflection of His righteous character. And because His character does not change, neither do His moral standards. “I the Lord do not change” (Malachi 3:6). But God has given us these standards for another reason: He loves us, and He wants what is best for us. What happens when an individual or society ignores these basic moral laws? What happens when lying and stealing and immorality and murder become the norm? The result can be summarized in one word: chaos. Thank God that He cares about us so much that He has told us how to live. And ask Him to help you follow His will in everything.”

“In the same way, the New Testament certainly stresses God’s love and mercy. In fact, it gives us the greatest proof that God loves us: Jesus laid down His life for our salvation (1 John 3:16).

“As churning the milk produces butter, and as twisting the nose produces blood, so stirring up anger produces strife. PROVERBS 30:33 Have you ever asked yourself why God takes anger so seriously and urges us to cast it out of our lives? One reason is because of what it does to other people. When we lash out at someone in anger, we hurt them and create conflict with them—and that is wrong. God loves them just as much as He loves us, and when our anger hurts someone, we are harming someone God loves. God also hates our anger because of what it does to us. Anger cuts us off from others; no one likes to be around someone who may explode at any moment. Anger also hurts us by turning us into resentful, bitter, unloving people. Most of all, anger cuts us off from God, because anger makes us preoccupied with our own problems rather than God’s will for our lives. Commit your anger to God and seek His forgiveness. Then ask Him to fill you with His patience and love. “The fruit of the Spirit is...patience” (Galatians 5:22).”

“Is the antichrist alive today? No one can say for sure. But the Bible tells us a very important truth: the spirit of antichrist has often been among us. Satan is always at work to oppose God’s work, and some people deliberately take their stand with Satan, not God. What does all this mean? It means we must be sure of our own commitment to Christ. If our lives are not built on Christ’s truth, we can easily be led astray. Don’t let this happen to you!”
