The Endurance of Prayer

03/13/2025

A real life of prayer takes endurance. Don’t give up after a few half-hearted efforts. If we want God to meet our needs, it takes effort on our part. Personal confession of all known sin is vital to effective prayer. We need to identify and confess all grudges, resentment, and bitter thoughts. …

Daily Prayers

03/12/2025

I don’t know that I am in any way an authority on prayer. I do know that because of the many things that have happened in my life since becoming a Christian, I have had to learn how to pray to just keep going. Sometimes, when I am alone, I am easily distracted with the list of what I have to do …

What Do You Tie Up?

03/11/2025

There is an interesting story told in the Bible- three times in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke- where Jesus sent His disciples to go and untie and bring to him a young colt for Jesus to ride into Jerusalem. I find it interesting that this colt is tied up, and Jesus said if anyone asks, “Why …

Able to Answer

03/10/2025

No matter who we are or what we have done, God still loves us. He will pardon us by forgiving us of any sin we have confessed and have truly repented of having committed it. Get serious with God about sin, confession, forgiveness and change, and He will then get serious with you about living your …

The Hair is Growing Again

03/06/2025

Now I know this sounds different, but read the rest. It all comes from (familiar to some) an account in the Bible in the book of Judges. It is the story of a supernaturally strong man named Samson, who was to deliver God’s people from oppression by their enemies. As a boy, Samson was set aside to …

The Sand or the Rock

03/03/2025

How you conduct your life is how you will build on future events that will affect your life and even others. Everyone’s life will be tested at times by the trials of life, and how you’ve established the real, deep growth of your past living will show up during these tough places. Nobody can …

God's Mirror

02/27/2025

In this world, truth is becoming more diluted; and we are, if you’ll be honest, seeing a great downgrading affect of our culture. From deception to immorality, society is in big trouble. It’s nothing new. It has happened before, but the key is the way it is happening. The eroding of morality, our …

Don't Give Sin a Humanistic Name

02/26/2025

There is a name to be given to almost any kind of action that is committed. We are now in a day where every problem is a result of some kind of disorder (bio- this or -ism that). We put basically an excuse on many human behaviors when the bottom line is SIN. The sin nature takes on many forms and …

Dwelling Together in Unity

02/25/2025

This statement used to have a more general meaning than it has today. You find the scripture to this in Psalm 133:1 where it says, “Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” When we do this in Christian unity, great things can come from it. But when we do this …

He Does Speak, but Can We Hear?

02/24/2025

God’s ways are not our ways. The Bible tells us this in Isaiah 55:8. So how God decides to do things will be as He knows best. God does speak, but it is rarely as man speaks, because God uses His own methods to do so without man’s help. The Bible again and again tells us this. In 1 Kings 19:12, it …
