The devil loves an unchallenged thought.

Not every thought in my head belongs there. Fear and temptation can lie, and we often suffer the most when we have believed them.

That is why Paul’s command feels so urgent: “take every thought captive to obey Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5).

Captive means that every thought must stand before Jesus.

Fear must answer to His sovereignty, temptation must answer to His cross, and accusations must answer to the empty tomb and explain why they think they can condemn someone Christ has already forgiven, fully and absolutely.

Jesus died for my sin, rose from the grave, set me free, seated me in heavenly places, and now claims authority over my thoughts.

Oh..the devil still whispers, the world keeps shouting and my flesh knows the old road too well.

But Christ gets the final word.

So today, as everyday, I am asking the Holy Spirit to help me recognise the thief before I offer him a room, because every thought must come home to Jesus before it makes a home in me.

It’s not that God’s Word isn’t relevant, or that it's out of date and no longer speaks to our culture. The reason so many object to it, is because they don’t like what It has to say, so choose to make it irrelevant, out of date or no longer inline with todays culture.
How can we claim to be followers of Christ if we are not prepared to follow His Word, in it's eternal, uncompromised context as absolute truth?

Christ’s church is a little bit hospital, a little bit mental ward, and a weekly reunion of sinners who’ve made a mess of their lives.

It’s a place where self-proclaimed righteous people who have it all together will be bored because there’s nothing for them there.

Church is for real sinners who really sin with other real sinners, for here they find the Friend of Sinners, Jesus the Christ.

We live in a society that will tell you a baby in the womb isn't a person, but a man in a dress is a woman! Did we miss something along the way?

Paul never presented the gospel as attractive to the natural man. He preached it as it is.

At the centre is the cross, not as an idea, but as a real sacrifice. “We preach Christ crucified” (1 Corinthians 1:23). Blood was shed. Sin was judged. Christ was offered. “Without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” (Hebrews 9:22).

This is why the gospel offends. It exposes our guilt and removes every claim of self righteousness. It leaves us with nothing but Christ. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

So the gospel is not softened to make it acceptable. It is declared as it is, because that is where its power lies. “The word of the cross… is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).

It is a costly gospel because it cost Christ everything.

And it will never be understood until we see that.
