There’s a verse in Isaiah that people like to quote. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”—Isa. 40:31 Tough times comeContinue reading “Standing On Faith”

God Is Not A Slave Driver
He is our Father and Friend We often have a wrong view of who God is. We are raised to have certain views. We are taught in church to have a certain view. We can listen to demons and thoughts that blame God for what we are dealing with in life. Those thoughts that beatContinue reading “God Is Not A Slave Driver”
By Faith…
Faith matters “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”—Heb. 11:1 Translation: Faith is made up of hope for things we do not see and have never seen, but have evidence for. If we rightly divide this verse we first need to understand what “Hope” is. Hope isContinue reading “By Faith…”
Serving God
We were created to serve God “Seek ye first my kingdom and my righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.”–Matt. 6:33 When we read scripture we need to “Rightly divide” it. (2 Timothy 2:15) What does that mean? Well, every word in scripture has meaning. They can often be linked to otherContinue reading “Serving God”
The Power Of The Devil
What the Bible says. I often run into Christians who speak of the devil as though he is powerless and weak. That he is a defeated foe and not a real enemy. It’s almost like they haven’t actually read the Bible. Yes, Christ defeated Satan on the cross. Yes, God is in complete control. But,Continue reading “The Power Of The Devil”
God Will Come Running
When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know thisContinue reading “God Will Come Running”
The Sign of Christ In You
Are you sure you know Him? The sign of Christ in you is not that you work to quit sinning. It’s not that you pretend to be sinless, and go to your church every time the doors are open. The sign is that you confess that Jesus came in the flesh, and confess Him asContinue reading “The Sign of Christ In You”
God Will Establish You
It’s a promise This world is a tough place. It’s supposed to get us to wake up and turn to God, so He can save us and help us. We fall on tough times. We have a spouse who betrays us. We have kids who reject us. We have friends and family who throw usContinue reading “God Will Establish You”
Being Taught By The Spirit
Do you know Him? “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.”—Hosea 4:6 When you read this verse in context, you willContinue reading “Being Taught By The Spirit”
How Do We Forgive?
Forgiveness sets us free. We are called to forgive others. It is one of the hardest things we can be called to do. “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matt. 6:15 We see an example of this in the parable of the servant who owed theContinue reading “How Do We Forgive?”
