Friday, June 11, 2021 Twice Born "Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don't be surprised when I say, 'You must be born again'" (John 3:6-7 NLT). Some people say, "I'm a Christian; I'm just not one of those born-agains." But you can't be a Christian without being born again. Jesus said to a religious ruler named Nicodemus, "You must be born again" (John 3:7 NLT). Are you born again? To be born again means to be born from above. It means that you've had a spiritual birth. If you're born once, then you'll die twice. You will ultimately die both physically and spiritually. But if you're born twice, then you'll die once. Your body will die, but your soul—your spirit—will live on. Jesus came to Earth to be born in a manger and die on the cross for our sins, because we're all separated from Him. We've broken His commandments time and time again. Then He rose from the dead. Maybe you're ashamed of certain things you've done and wonder whether God could ever forgive someone like you. The answer is a resounding yes. Not only can He forgive you, but He will forgive you right now. He will give you complete forgiveness.   CONTINUE READING →

10 Reasons God Might Not Be Blessing Your Life   Cindi McMenamin Are you looking around at other believers' lives and feeling "skipped over" when it comes to God's blessings? I've received emails from several people in the last month asking why God isn't blessing their lives? Some of those emails recount all the things they are supposedly doing right and others complained that God wasn't keeping His part of the bargain. We know from Scripture that God is a good God who loves to bless His children (Matt. 7:11). At the same time, God knows our hearts, our capabilities, and what's around the corner for us, so if He choose not to bless in a certain area, that might even be a blessing in itself. Based on three decades of ministering to others as a pastor's wife and Bible teacher, and seeing the blessings of God come and go in my life and in the lives of others, here are 10 Reasons God Might Not Be Blessing Your Life: Photo Credit: Unsplash/Benedict Tahjar   CONTINUE READING →
