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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
