What is the recipe for living a successful Christian life? We’ve all heard the instructions: Do good. Do what your parents tell you. Follow the rules of the church. Conduct yourself with propriety. Believe the things you are meant to believe.

That is the recipe that has been handed down to us, but often it can feel as though it isn’t quite right. It feels as though there is a missing ingredient in this recipe. Where is the joy we expect to feel in all this? Where is the sense of mission and purpose? We read about it. We hear about it. But too often we don’t experience it.

Am I describing you? Do you feel as though something is missing?

Jesus speaks directly to this at the beginning of his wonderful prayer in John 17. We are sharing a teaching series on this chapter right now on our broadcasts. Jesus tells us what is missing. And what is it? The missing ingredient is assurance of eternal life.

When you truly have a deep, abiding assurance of your salvation in Jesus, you will begin to experience the fullness and power of Christian living which he promised and you envision. If you want to learn more about this, I’d encourage you to look up the message entitled The Great Missing Ingredient here on our website.

While you are on the website, I hope you’ll consider making a donation to support the growing reach of our ministry. As friends of God Centered Life partner with us, it allows us to touch the lives of more and more people around the world.

As you give, I’d like to send you a study guide I wrote, The Place of Greatest Glory, that covers the last half of John’s gospel, including chapter 17. Many have called this the greatest prayer ever prayed after the greatest sermon ever preached. The eight sessions will allow you to dig into the Bible for yourself and engage with the penetrating depth of John’s gospel.

I hope you know my burden for you to grow in your understanding and embrace what God has for you. In a real sense I want us to feel that we are in this together. As we commit our ways to the Lord, and center ourselves in him, we will see him powerfully at work in our lives.

Thank you in advance for considering a gift of support to God Centered Life. We are grateful for you. If there are ways that we can pray for you, please do not hesitate to send us an email at info@godcenteredlife.org.

Resting in Him,
