Many of us have heard of New Age, but not as many Christians have heard about New Thought. This is a FALSE TEACHING running rampant in the global church, and it's about time we bring this spiritual deception to light. My friend Melissa is joining me in this 2 Part episode to speak on this issue truthfully and lovingly. I pray you don't feel condemned by this, but that you feel called into deeper love and intimacy with God through proper theology!

Jesus invites all of us to come to Him, to take upon His yoke, and in doing so, we will receive rest. I know I am also in need of that kind of spiritual refreshment! But here is the thing... we need to surrender the yoke we are carrying, the heavier burden, for the ways of Christ. Yes, they are different, and sometimes it can be uncomfortable, but it's always easier and lighter!

In Hebrews 10, believers are encouraged and exhorted to continue on in three specific things: drawing near to God, holding fast to hope, and stirring up the church. But how many of us lack confidence in doing these things? I want us to look to the cross and the words found in Hebrews 10, and to be moved in doing these things.

Listen, I know that there are some people in our lives, and in our world, that we classify as hard to love, yet God gives us the mandate as Christians to love our enemies and our neighbors. But in order to do that, we need to know what Biblical love is and receive a redeemed love from God Himself!

Some of us treat prayer as if it were a last resort when it should be the first thing we run to when we face desperation, suffering, and confusion. God wants us to call out to Him, even if it is with just a few words of honest faith!

We will eventually have to walk through the fire, the trials, the suffering, the season of loss or barrenness, and it's so easy from our limited perspective and point of view to believe God is the one burning us. But as we will discuss today, God will not burn His people. He will repurpose the fire and the flames to refine us, to become more resilient, and to be redeemed out of His for His glory!

I see so many Christians living in insecurity, living in anxiety, and living in loneliness, but it doesn't have to be this way. God invites us to be with Him. In a world where we often work, strive, and seek to earn our place at the table, Jesus gives us an invitation to simply arrive.

It seems as though every time we turn on the news, we hear about another pastor in a "moral failure" or caught in sin. Another day, another fallen leader.

We can experience every wonder with Jesus. We can experience safety and refuge with Jesus. We can experience strength and power through Jesus.

The heart is deceptive, our feeling fades, and we do not have a full understanding of how clouded judgment can get. Scripture warns us about this and encourages us to trust in God's heart, God's plans, and God's will and way.

What if the valley had just as much to offer as the mountain? I think that because of certain poetic language in the Bible about the valley, we forsake it and idolize the mountaintop moments alone; my friend Jonathan McReynolds agrees! But God might be calling some of us off of the mountain to meet Him in the valley to develop our character, grow us in wisdom, and bless us with beauty we didn't know we could find there.

I have noticed the unfortunate trend of disunity amongst believers. I think it stems from our lack of unity over Christ Himself!

As believers, we are called to be in the world and not of the world. I know that sometimes I have been left feeling like an outsider because of that.
