Who Rules Your Life?
“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.’”
Mark 10:21

Ponder This
Repentance and faith are connected. When you turn from sin, you turn to Jesus. This man’s sin was greed; he had to turn from it and toward the Lord Jesus Christ. This man needed a new master. Jesus said, “Come and follow Me.”
Is Jesus Christ the Lord of your life? Only you can give the true answer to that question. This is in your own heart. Romans 10:9 says: “if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Faith is not merely nodding a head to a series of theological facts about Jesus. We must make Jesus the Lord and Master of our lives.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
