Learning to Abide in Christ

Learning to Abide in Christ

Apart From Me Ye Can Do Nothing—John 15.5

Apart from me ye can do nothing.—What a plea and what a call every moment to abide in Christ! We have only to go back to the vine to see how true it is. Look again at that little branch, utterly helpless and fruitless except as it receives sap from the vine, and learn that the full conviction of not being able to do anything apart from Christ is just what you need to teach you to abide in your heavenly Vine. It is this that is the great meaning of the pruning Christ spoke of—all that is self must be brought low, that our confidence may be in Christ alone. “Abide in me”—much fruit! “Apart from me”—nothing! Ought there to be any doubt as to what we shall choose? -Andrew Murray

Swim Against the Christmas Current

Are you a believer in Jesus Christ? If so, then don't worry about fitting in. You won't! This is especial true during the Christmas season. Your view and meaning of Christmas are different than the majority of people. Embrace the true meaning of Christmas and pray that others will see the truth. -JB


“If you want to bow to Him [Christ], you must swim against the currents of this world. If you are going to yield to Him today, you will go contrary to everything in which this world is interested. But it is worth it because He is moving toward a kingdom. Someday He shall reign here. What a privilege it is to bow to Him now! Are you among the number swimming against the current that you may cross to be on the Lord’s side?” -J. Vernon McGee

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. –Jesus (John 17:14)
