Human beings are instinctively worshipers, but we must make sure we are worshiping the true God. "Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands." - Psalm 115:2-5  Read More

It is amazing that the God of all glory, all power, and all wisdom, who is the sum total of everything that is good, humbles Himself. "The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high,Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth-" Psalm 113:5-8  Read More

To be a God-fearing man or woman may not cause one to be respected in this world, but it is a definite advantage. "The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength." - Proverbs 8:13-14  Read More

Relationships with others are one of life’s greatest blessings. But they are also one of life’s greatest challenges. We definitely need patience.

God created us with a natural tendency to explore and achieve. But we must be careful to put it to good use. "He that diligently seeketh good procureth favour: but he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him." - Proverbs 11:27  Read More

It is true that we need to give up some things to follow Christ. But it is also true that we gain much more than we had before. "Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Many live their lives seeking to do their duties in the bare minimum. That should never be true of us. "And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain." - Matthew 5:41  Read More

In the Old Testament, the temple was a physical building where people would go to offer sacrifices to God. Believers in the New Testament still need to assemble together, but our sacrifice and worship are much more personal. "And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." -2 Corinthians 6:16  Read More

The human body is one of the many marvels of creation. It was designed by God to last, but not forever. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." - 2 Corinthians 5:1  Read More

We often do not appreciate having things said to us repeatedly, but we certainly do need it. "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe." - Philippians 3:1  Read More

As believers, we know that we are as sojourners on earth, and that we often do not fit in at all. That is because we are looking for something better than this world.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless." -2 Peter 3:13-14  Read More

God‘s wisdom is revealed in all of creation and in all of His creatures. Consider the little ant.
