Team Jesus!

For Tuesday, May 20, 2025:

Luke 11:23 NLT, Jesus speaking: “Anyone who isn’t with me opposes me, and anyone who isn’t working with me is actually working against me.”

There are only two teams competing in the game of eternal life – Jesus’ team and the ‘other’ team. Team Jesus is the good guys, while the ‘other’ team is evil. Jesus’ team has declared allegiance to God Almighty, whereas the evil team is playing for Satan.

There is no neutral team. “No opinion” isn’t a valid answer to the question, “Who will you serve?” Jesus takes all believers under his wing. Everyone else is assumed to be in opposition to our creator. If you’re not moving God’s project forward, the dragging of your feet could be holding things back!

If you’re curious, you can flip to the back of the book and see who wins. The created one will never outplay the one who created everything! Today is the accepted day to sign up for the winning team! Your reward will be a glorious eternity in the presence of the Lord!

May God’s blessings cover you as you go about his work today!

Lukewarm?

September 9, 2024 Monday Message:

Revelation 3:15 NLT: “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other!”

Are you FOR Jesus or AGAINST Jesus? Christians should all be FOR Jesus, participating in the kingdom enthusiastically. The Bible says to not take that Good News lightly!

God has no time for coasting Christians, those who have heard the Good News but are doing nothing WITH that news. He wants us to make a firm decision one way or the other. It’s regrettable if you’d choose “no,” but at least he’d know where you stand. And if you’re on fire for Jesus, that’s the best decision ever! But if you’re lukewarm, God isn’t sure what to think.

My example is to think of getting into a swimming pool. Don’t put one toe at a time into the water to check its temperature. Get a running start toward the deep end, jump, pull your knees up, and ker-splash into the water with a “no turning back” attitude!

Jesus already promised us that the water’s fine!
