How can God say he will provide us with an escape in our tests and trials while also saying he will help us endure them?
Don’t limit the word “temptation” to something that lures us into sin. Anything that tries to pull us away from God is a temptation. Anything.
When this life comes to an end, when our frail bodies sputter for the last time, God will raise us from the dead and give us glorious bodies.
Someday soon we get to exchange our crippled and lowly body for a glorious and heavenly one.
If you are Christ’s, you don’t belong here. This is not your home. Your citizenship is in heaven.

God’s enemies will face God’s eternal wrath. So who are these enemies of the cross, and how do I know I am not one of them?
The cross was designed by God to humble us. It reminds us that we need Christ’s blood to rescue us, and his power to strengthen us.

We have a refuge in times of trouble, safety amid life’s storms. Only a fool curses the shelter and runs into the eye of the storm.
