EPHESIANS 5:20“… giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

“With the minutes that remain in our lives, we can lift up our eyes and look on the fields, because, as Jesus said, they’re already ‘white for harvest.’” — Alistair Begg

During Jesus’ ministry on earth, while people answered His call to follow Him, not all became lifelong followers. The Gospel of John tells us of at least one incident when many who had been His disciples “turned back and no longer walked with Him” (John 6:66). Nevertheless, some stood with Him through thick and thin, repenting and seeking His forgiveness on the occasions when they did fall away.

The book of Amos contains a truth that is as unpalatable today as it was in Amos’s time: when God’s people begin to look and act like a culture that is defined by moral perversity, material prosperity, and religious hypocrisy, they will become alienated from their creator God. Persistent, unrepentant disobedience will lead to His judgment (Amos 3:13–15; cf. Rev. 2:12–29). Instead of living in the joy of fellowship with Him, those who profess to be God’s people will experience God turning away from them because of the sin they treasure.

Paul’s appearance before the Sanhedrin in Acts 22 provides a glimpse of the ordinariness of the extraordinary apostle. In this message, Alistair Begg traces the thread that shows how God worked in and through all the details of Paul’s life, including violence, hostility, regrets, and disappointments. Paul’s story reminds us that God continues to work out His purpose for each of us through the good, bad, and ordinary events of our lives.

While Scripture instructs us to cast all our anxieties on the Lord, our lives unfortunately are often marked by anxiousness and worry. God’s Word helpfully addresses this side of the human experience and points us to faith in Christ, which strengthens our inner security and peace. These recommended resources are suggested to help you better understand the root cause of anxiety and depression and point you toward some measure of relief.  

“I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.” (2 Timothy 4:6)
When you read the Pastoral Epistles carefully, you will find that Paul mentions cities that are not mentioned in Acts. The inference is that after he was released from prison in Rome, he revisited Ephesus and also visited a few other places. At the end of that time, he was imprisoned once again, and he then wrote his final letters.

Dear Friend,
Today, I am reading Paul’s letter to Philemon, and I am challenged by his tone, especially as he is writing from prison! He informs Philemon that he is thankful for him and at the same time prayerful and joyful. It is clear that Paul is practicing what he preaches, having encouraged the Thessalonians to “be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances.”
