Christianity Etc › Pray For A Revelation Of God's Love (3) by Btruth(op): 8:23am On Jun 14
Pray for a revelation of God’s love (3)

Sun, 14 Jun 2026

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Romans 8:35

Paul asked: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” And the answer is–nothing! Then he came up with a long list of worst-case scenarios, from trouble to danger and anything in between: “Trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or unclothedness or danger or sword” (NIV).

When Paul wrote “hardship,” he was back in the Mediterranean Sea during a terrible typhoon. “Persecution” pinged his memory of being stoned at Lystra and left for dead. “Trials”: Paul stood trial before Nero himself. He also went without food, was bitten by a poisonous snake, and had the clothes stripped off his back so he could be flogged. This did not happen only once or twice. Five times he received the maximum sentence—forty lashes minus one. Paul’s back was whiplashed and crisscrossed with 195 scars. Hardship has one of two effects: it either hardens or softens our hearts. And it’s that hardening or softening that makes us or breaks us. According to one poll of Londoners, 60 percent of those who survived Germany’s blitzkrieg during World War II remembered it as the happiest time of their lives. It’s the tough times that test our love. But that’s also how it’s proved. The love of Christ wasn’t proved by His miracles—it was proved on a Roman cross. And it has proven to be fail proof. So no matter what trouble, hardship, or persecution you face, this too shall pass. More importantly, Jesus is with you and Jesus is for you. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate you from His love!

Pray for a revelation of God’s love (2)

Sat, 13 Jun 2026

“I pray that you…may have power…to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17-18

Thomas Aquinas was one of the most prolific writers and thinkers of the Middle Ages. His Summa Theologica is one of history’s most exhausting and enduring theologies. But Aquinas never finished it because of something that happened on December 6, 1273, that caused him to quit writing. “All that I have written seems to be like straw,” Aquinas said, “compared to what has now been revealed to me.”

Exactly what was revealed remains a mystery, but that one revelation surpassed all the knowledge he’d acquired. No matter your IQ, that’s what you need. You are not smart enough to reason your way to God. You need “the Spirit of wisdom and revelation” (Ephesians 1:17 NIV). Nothing will change your outlook, or even alter your personality, like a revelation of God’s love. But it’s so diametrically different from the way we give and receive love on a human level. First of all, His love is unconditional. There is nothing you can do to make God love you more or less because He already loves you perfectly, eternally. Even when you don’t reciprocate His love, it doesn’t deter, deflect, or diminish His love. It accentuates it. “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8 NIV). It’s easy to love others when they are at their best. But when they are at their worst? Not so much. But that’s the test of true love. Our love tends to be reactive, but God’s love is proactive. He loves us when we least expect it and least deserve it.

“I pray that you…may…know this love that surpasses knowledge.” Ephesians 3:17-19

In the realm of general relativity, an event horizon is the point of no return. It’s the point at which gravitational pull becomes so great that it’s impossible to escape. The most obvious example is the black hole—a celestial object so massive that light can only enter but never exit its gravitational field.

The escape velocity of a black hole is greater than the speed of light, which is impossible to exceed. So, once you cross its horizon, there is no turning back. God’s love is like that. The Bible says, “God is love.” The implications of that one statement will take all of eternity to unpack. Nothing pulls stronger or longer than God’s love. Love is an event horizon, and once you cross over, you can’t get back. And who would want to? Logic won’t get you to God’s love. His love is beyond logical—it’s theological. The only way to receive the love of God is via revelation. Paul wrote: “I pray that you…may…grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ…that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” The love of God is measureless. It doesn’t fit in a box, not even a box the size of the universe. And if the universe isn’t big enough, God’s love certainly won’t fit within the confines of our human logic. So how do we get it in our hearts and minds? Through a personal revelation! So, the word for you today is: pray for a revelation of God’s love.

Christianity Etc › You Can Pull Down That Stronghold by Btruth(op): 8:56am On Jun 11
You can pull down that stronghold

Thu, 11 Jun 2026

“The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” 2 Corinthians 10:4

Just as Jericho was a stronghold in Canaan, we have strongholds in our lives. Paul wrote: “The weapons of our warfare are…mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God” (vv. 4-5 NKJV). A stronghold is an “argument” or a “high thing” that “exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” It is a conviction, outlook, or belief that attempts to interfere with the truth.

A stronghold is a false premise that denies God’s promise. It “sets itself up against the knowledge of God” (v. 5 NIV). It attempts to magnify the problem and minimise God’s ability to solve it. Does a stronghold have a strong hold on you? Do you speak the language of impossibility? God could never forgive me (the stronghold of guilt). I could never forgive that person (the stronghold of resentment). Bad things always happen to me (the stronghold of self-pity). I have to be in charge (the stronghold of pride). I don’t deserve to be loved (the stronghold of rejection). I’ll never recover (the stronghold of defeat). I must be good, or God will reject me (the stronghold of performance). I’m only as good as I look (the stronghold of appearance). My value equals my possessions (the stronghold of materialism). Many Christians don’t even recognise the strongholds in their lives. But you don’t have to be among them. God has given you the weapons of prayer, Scripture, the Name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, fellowship, etc. And collectively, they have “divine power to demolish strongholds” (v. 4 NIV).

Christianity Etc › Don't Quit; Keep Going! by Btruth(op): 7:04am On Jun 10
Don’t quit; keep going!

Wed, 10 Jun 2026

“Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize.” Philippians 3:13-14

Someone said: “The secret of success is to be like a duck—smooth and unruffled on top, and paddling furiously underneath.” A well-known nineteenth-century violinist illustrated the truth of this. His most memorable concert was marked by “furious paddling under the surface” rather than easy success. The concert was performed with a full orchestra before a packed house in Italy. Those who heard him play say his technique was incredible and his tone fantastic.

Toward the end of the concert, he was astounding his audience with a very difficult composition, when one string on his violin suddenly snapped and hung limply from his instrument. He frowned only briefly, shook his head, and continued to play, improvising beautifully. Then, to everyone’s surprise, including his, a second string broke. Shortly thereafter, a third string snapped. It seemed like a slapstick comedy routine as he stood before the awed crowd with three strings dangling from his Stradivarius violin. But instead of leaving the stage to repair his instrument, he stood firm. He calmly completed the difficult number on the one remaining string—a performance that won him applause, admiration, and enduring fame. Here’s another saying: “It’s when the going gets tough, that the tough get going!” Paul was such a man: “Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead, I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.” All of us who are spiritually mature should think this way too. So don’t quit; keep going!
Christianity Etc › Practice God-confidence Rather Than Self-confidence by Btruth(op): 6:54am On Jun 09
Practice God-confidence rather than self-confidence

Tue, 9 Jun 2026

“It was not I but God who was working through me by his grace.” 1 Corinthians 15:10

Pride promotes self-reliance. It tells us we can indeed do things on our own. In our attempt to walk in self-confidence, we slam the door in God’s face and shut out the work of the Holy Spirit, our Helper.

Paul was educated, sophisticated, and consecrated, yet he humbly declared, “I am the least of all the apostles. In fact, I’m not even worthy to be called an apostle after the way I persecuted God’s church. But whatever I am now, it is all because God poured out His special favour on me—and not without results. For I have worked harder than any of the other apostles; yet it was not I but God who was working through me by His grace” (vv. 9-10 NLT). No matter how much ability you possess, without God, it will only take you so far. Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5 NIV). So the source of our confidence should be God and not ourselves. When the plans of those walking in God-confidence go awry, they are wise enough to subordinate their desires to the sovereign will of God. They quickly remind themselves, “Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails” (Proverbs 19:21 NIV). They are convinced that God has a higher purpose for their lives, and that no man can thwart it. So practice God-confidence rather than self-confidence.
Christianity Etc › God Will Give You Knowledge And Understanding by Btruth(op): 6:22am On Jun 08
God will give you knowledge and understanding

Mon, 8 Jun 2026

“From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:6

The saying “knowledge is power” is true. And it’s even more dynamic in the spiritual realm. The more you know about God, the more confident you’ll be. Knowledge of God’s Word can give clarity to the puzzling issues of life. When a certain religious sect tried to pull Jesus into one of their debates on a particular issue, He replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God” (Matthew 22:29 NLT).

There are some truths you need to settle in your heart and let them bring peace to your spirit. For example, no one else can thwart God’s purpose for your life. “The Lord Almighty has purposed, and who can thwart him? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?” (Isaiah 14:27 NIV). You also need to settle in your mind that no matter what happens, things are working out for your good. Therefore, you can resist anxiety and worry. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 NKJV). Daniel reminds us that God “gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:21-22 NKJV). The “light” you need belongs to God. And you never have to feel insecure regarding any aspect of your knowledge when you know Him, for He knows everything.

Christianity Etc › The Life- Giving Word by Btruth(op): 5:44am On Jun 07
The life-giving Word

Sun, 7 Jun 2026

“The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

Jesus was called “Rabbi” eleven times in the Gospels. But He wasn’t like any other rabbi. Rabbis quoted others, but Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you…” In the gospel of John, He said it twice: “Truly, truly, I say to you…” The reason Jesus wasn’t like any other rabbi was because He was God manifested in the flesh. And Paul says, “Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:2-3 NKJV).

The early church fathers had a favourite saying: “The Gospels are a river in which a gnat can swim, and an elephant can drown.” The Gospels—the record of Christ’s life and teaching—have impacted the world so much that they have been translated into thousands of languages, more than any other book. The second-most-translated book, Don Quixote, has been translated into about 60 languages. To this day, the Bible remains the bestselling book of all time. In the academic world, scholars keep score of how often any articles they write are cited by other scholars. By this year’s secular score, Jesus’ intellectual impact is unprecedented. Why is this? Because when everything else fails, God’s Word works. Jesus explained it this way: “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” If you are a teacher, you know that the number one question in any class is: “Will this be on the exam?” If you want to pass your exams and hear, “Well done!” from the teacher, get into God’s Word each day and get God’s Word into you.

Christianity Etc › Developing A Spiritual Mindset by Btruth(op): 8:14am On Jun 06
Developing a spiritual mindset

Sat, 6 Jun 2026

“Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” Romans 8:5

Muscle memory isn’t stored in your muscles. It’s a procedural memory that is stored in your brain any time you repeat a muscle movement. Whether it’s putting a golf ball or playing a violin, the muscle memory becomes stronger the more it is repeated. Have you heard about the 10,000-hour rule? Psychologists say that’s the amount of time it takes to become an expert at anything.

That’s encouraging because it means anybody can do it, but it’s discouraging because it means there are no shortcuts, no matter how smart or gifted you are. Just like a foreign language, developing a spiritual mindset is a learning curve. Can you imagine being frustrated on the first day of a foreign language class because you aren’t fluent? That’s how we often feel when we aren’t fluent in prayer, or strong in faith, or disciplined in our habits. Psalm 84:7 says we “go from strength to strength” (NIV). You’ll be working on this for the rest of your life, one day at a time. You’ll keep benchmarking. Your faith ceiling becomes your faith floor. And make no mistake about it—those spiritual disciplines accrue compound interest. And they pay off in terms of joy, fulfillment, and power with God. “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace” (Romans 8:5-6 NIV).
