Mar 21 - Hebrews 10:23

Let us hold fast to
the confession of our hope
without wavering, for he
who has promised is faithful.
Hebrews 10:23

What is "the confession of YOUR hope"?

For many of us, it's easier to talk about "the confession of OUR hope." "We" believe in God. "We" confess that Jesus was crucified, died, and is risen. "We" acknowledge that the Spirit empowers. That's good! But that's general.

What if someone asked you ... WHY? Why do you believe?

If you can't say more than something like, "I've been a Christian all my life" or "I like going to church," then maybe it's time to take a leap of faith! Maybe it's time to do something bold. Radical! Maybe it’s time to do something that you can't do on your own and only God can accomplish. Maybe it's time to quit being quiet and do something adventurously uncomfortable for the sake of the Gospel.

What if someone asked you ... Why do you believe? Start writing a new chapter! What is "the confession of YOUR hope"?

In Christ's Love,
a guy who gains power
and sees hope and heaven
only -- and whenever –
he surrenders
