The Call to Follow Christ

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will find it” (Matt. 16:24-25).

Be Bold Enough to Have Courage
All great golfers seem to have a defining shot. There have been so many through the years. One of my favorites, however, was Phil Mickelson's second shot from the pine straw of the 13th hole during the final round of the 2010 Masters.

The Power of the Playbook
Because Jesus knew He needed to rely on God’s Word, He was willing to memorize it and use it as a defense against the Enemy. Having Scripture in His mind kept Him strong in the face of temptation and allowed Him to keep His relationship with God perfect (see Psalm 119:9-16). This was all a part of the preparation for executing the ultimate play. Jesus had to follow the playbook.

It’s true that Eve ate the fruit. But curiously, when God came looking for the responsible party, it was Adam he called out to instead of his wife. Evidently, Adam was ultimately responsible. We read in the text, “The LORD God called out to the man and said to him, ‘Where are you?’ ” (Gen 3:9). Notice that by using the name LORD God, the writer reasserted God’s authority that Satan had tried to subvert. But also notice that God didn’t call out, “Adam? Eve? Where are... read more
