  • If It Concerns Us- It Concerns Him

    Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6). Speaking for myself, I am very hesitant to share everything that is bothering me with other people. In my mind I think, “They probably aren’t interested anyway.” I may consider their situation…

  • Childlike Faith

    And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I…

  • Where The Rain Is

    But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: A land which the Lord thy God careth for:the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the…

  • The Necessity of Trust

    Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Lately, I have been thinking about the meanings of these two words: “believe” and “trust.” As we face various situations in life, these two words come to the forefront in our walk with God. The definition for believe…

  • He Is Not There; He Is Risen

    And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen: remember how he…

  • Our Substitute

    All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all (Isaiah 53:6). Many years ago I remember a man testifying that he had listened to many sermons, but did not become a Christian as a result of…

  • The Life He Has Called Us To

    For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them… (Luke 9:56). Have you ever noticed that Satan’s agenda and God’s agenda for us are polar opposites? Jesus made this evident in John 10:10: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I…

  • New Beginnings

    Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain to you; listen carefully to what I say.” (Acts 2:14) Spring! This is the time of year when the flowers bloom again, the birds come back looking for…

  • Wait On The Lord

    Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord (Psalm 27:14). “Wait!” That is not an easy thing for most of us to do. We have to wait in doctors’ offices. We have to wait at stop lights when we are in a hurry.…

  • Believe The Good Report

    Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isaiah 53:1) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). “Who has believed our report?” Think about reports.…
