When you are in a difficult situation and it seems that there is nothing you can do, there is always one thing that you should do. "I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth." - Psalm 57:2-3  Read More

We discover very quickly that being saved from our sins does not make us sinless or perfect. When a believer sins, God has made provision for us. "My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." - 1 John 2:1  Read More

God gives us many blessings as we go through life, but we must be careful not to be deceived into thinking that we are the cause of those blessings. "For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?  now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" - 1 Corinthians 4:7  Read More

We usually associate prosperity with financial wealth, but that is certainly not the kind. "And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand." - Genesis 39:2-3  Read More

Sometimes the load that we carry is very heavy, and seems as if it would crush us beneath its weight. But we were never meant to carry that heavy load alone. "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." - Psalm 55:22  Read More

It is a blessing to know that we are loved by God, but it is absolutely astounding to comprehend the depth of His love. "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." - 1 John 3:1  Read More

Our Lord made many shocking statements when He was on Earth, and this is certainly one of them. "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law." - Matthew 10:34-35  Read More

One of the great needs for believers is to be people of discernment, and to be good students of God‘s word. "These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." - Acts 17:11  Read More

We desperately need the grace of God in our lives every day, and there are three very important manifestations of this grace. "Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father." - 1 Thessalonians 1:3  Read More

There is an internal struggle that every believer faces day in and day out against sin. But there is surely victory to be had. "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me." - Romans 7:21  Read More

Fear is natural and healthy when we fear the consequences of dangerous behavior or sin. But sometimes it is easy to be overcome by fear of bad things that could happen in the future. "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me." - Psalm 56:3-4  Read More

Many people spend much of their lives  trying to do religious things to please God and hopefully find a place in heaven. None of them are of any value. "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." - Hebrews 9:26  Read More
