Whose Will Will You Follow?

The Spirit of God within us gives us God’s wisdom, not our own wisdom. His word active in our life helps us discern His will versus our will.

So All Goes Well

What is the purpose of God’s Word, His commands? Are they just words on the page, rules for us to follow? Jesus said, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10, NASB).” God wants us to have abundant life. Paul wrote in Romans 15:13, “Now may the God of hope […]

Fruit of the Faithful

Sometimes I think about the apostles of Jesus and what might have happened if they had listened to the scribes and pharisees and not preached about Jesus. Because of their steadfast Spirit, their determination to spread the Good News about Jesus, today we have the New Testament, God’s Word of salvation through Jesus. It because […]

Sunday Honor

The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 (NASB)

God’s Word is Truth

Sometimes it is hard to trust God, to believe His Word is true. When we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders, it is difficult to believe the words of Jesus: “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:29, NASB).” Yet God is faithful. “Know therefore that the LORD […]

In between the telling of the parable and the explanation, Jesus said, “For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be […]

Straw Man Words

God’s Word is full of wisdom and life, yet there are some who twist it for their own selfish gain or even claim certain non-Biblical texts are God’s truth. In the time of the prophet Jeremiah, false prophets were giving what they claimed was a word from the Lord. Through Jeremiah, God calls Israel to […]

Prayer Journey — Where?

Where can I go dear Lord without you? Your words are life giving. Your truth is eternal. Your hope is everlasting. Your Spirit guides me in a world filled with treachery. You are my creator. Each breath I take, each moment of my life is because of you. You have blessed me beyond reason; given […]

Across the Generations

It’s hard to grasp the breadth of God’s reach across the generations. Our life is but a passing vapor, limited by a handful of years in the course of history. Yet God reaches across the generations with His Word. He created us, created communication, to carry His word across time. Take time to tell others […]
