  My Heart’s Goal Scripture: Romans 14:17, NLT “ For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ” (Romans 14:17, NLT) It took me a long time to figure out that life does not consist of an abundance of things. Life is in the Spirit. Living for kingdom values, and investing our  time, talent, and treasure  for the kingdom are goals we practice in KingdomNomics. The Spirit searches all things and reveals the deep things of God. Through the Spirit, we discover the secrets of the kingdom. Therefore, our key objective is to  sow  to the Spirit  so we can experience eternal life. “ Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. ” (Galatians 6:8, NLT) Yes, the Spirit will impart his life to us as we live in harmony with him. “ The S...

    How He showed it: He continually put the needs of others above His own comfort, time, and physical rest.   How to live it: Sacrificing doesn't always mean dying for someone; it often means giving your time, energy, resources, or convenience to help someone in need without expecting anything in return. 3. Servant-Minded Love Jesus flipped the world's concept of leadership and greatness upside down. He showed that loving someone means being willing to serve them in humility.   How He showed it: During the Last Supper, He performed the lowly task of washing His disciples' feet, teaching them to do the same for one another (John 13:14–15).   How to live it: Look for practical, behind-the-scenes ways to help family, friends, colleagues, or neighbors without seeking recognition or praise. 4. Forgiving and Patient Love Even while facing betrayal, denial, and torture, Jesus offered forgiveness. His love did not hold grudges or keep a record of wrongs. ...

  Seek, Set, and Let Scripture: Colossians 3:1–3, NLT “ Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. ” (Colossians 3:1–3, NLT) Seeking the things above, and the realities of heaven, requires discipline. It takes discipline to effectively face and overcome diversions and the challenges of living in a broken world where everything we see and feel is in the process of perishing. We are only passing through a world in which we do not have a continuing city. Think in terms of  expanding the kingdom  – of helping people to come to Christ – of helping to fulfill the Great Commission. We are transformed as we renew our minds in the Word of God. That takes time and effort. We need to study, meditate, and allow the peace of Christ to rule ...

  November 1 Introduction 1 Chronicles 13:1–14: Over the next ten days we will read from 1 Chronicles. The books of Chronicles tell the history of the Israelite kings, emphasizing David’s line and the origin of Temple worship in Jerusalem. In today’s reading, King David orders men to bring the Covenant Box (also known as the Ark of the Covenant) to Jerusalem. As it is being moved in a public celebration, the oxen stumble. Uzzah, one of the movers, reaches out to brace the Box and is killed instantly. David becomes afraid and decides to leave the Box in another city outside Jerusalem.    Today's Key Verse: 1 Chronicles 13:8 GNT David and all the people danced with all their might to honor God. They sang and played musical instruments—harps, drums, cymbals, and trumpets.   Read 1  King David consulted with all the officers in command of units of a thousand men and units of a hundred men.  2  Then he announced to all the people of Israel, “If you give you...

  4 Rs: Son Power Seals, Reveals, and Deals Scripture: Acts 17:28, NLT “For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’”  (Acts 17:28, NLT) Once we accept Jesus Christ into our life, Son Power is all encompassing. It affects all aspects of our relationship with God. Relationship Our relationship with God is established when the Holy Spirit seals us at the time we believe and trust in Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior. We are his offspring in the sense we are now children of God, heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. We are in his “bloodline” because of the blood of Christ which pays for our sin. This is a relationship that cannot be broken (as noted by a multitude of passages in the Bible). Revelation The establishment of our relationship with God is just the beginning step. We soon discover through revelation that Son Power will now deal with us for the rest of our life in this world. We live in the Spirit. We are ...

  Introduction James 5:1–20: Today’s reading concludes the letter of James. He reproaches the rich who hoard their wealth and defraud workers, while encouraging suffering Christians to endure patiently and with hope. Until the Lord’s coming, we should pray, tend to the sick, confess our sins to one another, and help bring wandering believers back to the truth. Today’s Key Verse: James 5:16 GNT So then, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you will be healed. The prayer of a good person has a powerful effect. Read 1  And now, you rich people, listen to me! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming upon you!  2  Your riches have rotted away, and your clothes have been eaten by moths.  3  Your gold and silver are covered with rust, and this rust will be a witness against you and will eat up your flesh like fire. You have piled up riches in these last days.  4  You have not paid any wages to those who work in your f...
