As we soberly look at the world we live in today, compromise is abounding. In an age of compromise, God doesn’t want His servants conforming to the standard of the world, but lifting the standard to honor Him. 1 Timothy 6:11 (Taylor’s), “O Timothy, you are God’s man. Run from all evil things, and work instead at what is right and good. Learn to trust Him and love others and be patient and gentle. Fight on…
As we head into another amazing year, I believer we will see the greatest harvest of souls, the greatest miracles of God as well as the most outstanding move of the Spirit of God we have ever seen! How exciting to live in such a time as this! It will be equally important to stay within the boundaries of the Word of God and listen intently to our heart within and not violate our conscience….
We have the Creator of the universe living on the inside of us! Colossians 1:27 declares, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” The CP Translation declares, “In them God wanted to exhibit among all races what is a priceless thing this glorious mystery is, the mystery of Christ’s indwelling presence with you all, the basis of…
In 2 Timothy 3:1, we get a clear description of the end times, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemer, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affections, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying…
2 Timothy 1:12 declares, “I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry.” Then in Psalm 75:6-7 we read, “For promotion cometh nether from the east, nor the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Over the last two months we have been discussing the importance of faithfulness in the lives of the believer. Faithfulness is…
In Mark 6:45-50 we find an amazing account of Jesus and his disciples, “And straightway he commanded his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethseda, while he sent away the people. And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. And when evening was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. And he…
In Acts 9:1-19, Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul, had an encounter with Jesus Christ. Saul’s life drastically changed that day as the purpose for his life came into line with the Kingdom of God. Not only did he meet Jesus on the road to Damascus, but for the first time he entered the will of God for his life. Minutes before his conversion, he was a tool in the hand of Satan to…
It is amazing that another year is coming to a close. Yet what a tremendous year it has been in the presence of the Lord. We have seen lives impacted by the Word of God. And the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit is all across this great nation. Lives have been changed and progress has been made. This is all a result of the redemptive work of Christ over two thousand years ago. Isaiah…
I am amazed as of late at the inability of our culture in America to recognize right and wrong. It seems as though men and women are attempting to make up their own rules on how life should be lived. Public opinion or what is politically correct has now become the new standard of human behavior, even if it is contrary to the Word of God. The fact will always remain, “Right is still right and…
Following the plan of God for our lives is the most exciting thing known to man. Without question, God is planning wonderful things for all His children. He delights to bring those things to pass in our lives. Psalm 37:4-5,7 declares, “Delight thyself in the Lord; and He shall give the the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He shall bring it to pass. Rest in the…
