We have relentless memories. Our failures hang onto us like an evergreen’s leaves. We grow, and they grow with us. How do we deal with this? What does the Bible say?
All in Bible
If You Hear His Voice
“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness, where your fathers put me to the test and saw my works for forty years. Therefore I was provoked with that generation, and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart; they have not known my ways.’ As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”
Jesus, Better than Moses
Jesus is an apostle, High Priest, faithful, appointed, worthy of more glory, worthy of honor, builder of the house of God, builder of all things, Son, and our hope.
We Need Someone to Help Us
The school of Christ’s suffering has become the nursery for your wounded heart. Where he was hurt, you can be healed. Jesus allowed his flesh to be broken so that when ours breaks his pierced hands can put us back together.
We Rule the World
Nothing is outside of our control because nothing is outside of the control of Christ. He upholds the universe by the word of his power.
The Humanness of Jesus
The book of Hebrews presents to us the Savior of the world. He’s not just a good man, or a good idea, or a great hope for the future. He’s a kingly priest who, through his prophetic word, has proclaimed salvation to our hearts. What are we doing with plugs in our ears?
Community Keeps You from Drifting
No Christian can stand alone. The idea of "lone ranger" Christianity is not found in the Bible. It is a human invention. After all, God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18). God's creative intention requires companionship.
Let's Fight the Drift
I love “lost at sea” stories. In each of these stories, it is vitally important that you know which direction you’re heading and that you stay pointed in that direction. You don’t want to drift off course. Why? Because to do so could cost you your life. You have only so much food and water in reserves. The sun beats down relentlessly. You have no help coming. Sharks are circling, just waiting for you to fall overboard. It’s a perilous situation. To stray could mean to die
