Sunday Honor

The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;let the distant shores rejoice.Clouds and thick darkness surround him;righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.Fire goes before himand consumes his foes on every side.His lightning lights up the world;the earth sees and trembles.– Psalm 97:1-4 (NIV)

Pride is Our Undoing

When things are going well in life, we can feel self confident about our success. The risk is that we become filled with pride, losing sight of how God equips and blesses us; forgetting that all we have is because God grants it to us. In 2 Chronicles 26:16-22, King Uziah has had much success. […]

When I feel I am treated unjustly, it seems my first reaction is to strike back, to defend myself. But Peter reminds us, “As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance (1 Peter 1:14, NIV).” While we have the Spirit of God within us as followers […]

Preparing for Battle in Times of Peace

The time to prepare for battle is not when the enemy shows up at your door with a million soldiers—twice what you have in your army. In 2 Chronicles 14:9, “Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and he came to Mareshah.” Asa is King […]

Prayer Journey—God’s Reign

Eternal. Forever. In a world of things that don’t last, you dear God remain. From generation to generation, your reign continues as empires rise and fall.
