Speaking the Truth in Love
Sometimes, I hear people who are quick to declare their unsubstantiated, personal beliefs and make statements that are for the most part unscriptural! This comes across as deliberately being confrontational and controversial. I’ve heard many defend these statements by saying they are doing so because they’re being bold and unafraid of speaking the truth. But […]
Establishing A New Heart
As a believer, you already have the very life of God right here and now! God preplanned for us to have His life from the beginning of time (Eph. 2:10). Before we were saved, our hearts were established in a belief system based on worldly views, self-effort and performance. But when we accept Jesus, we […]
Practical Partnership in the Kingdom
For our future success, we must realize that we can’t do anything about our past, but we can do something about our future. Paul said: I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. …For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry…. —I Corinthians 3:4-9 Husbandry means management team! If we […]
God’s Righteous Judgment
The Righteous Judgment of God! Nothing causes more emotional pain, mental anguish and instability than the expectation of retribution and impending punishment, especially when it comes to the wrath and judgment of God! Many people believe they have committed some unforgivable sin, invoking God’s anger and impending judgment! Since, therefore, [these His] children share in […]
God’s Restoring Grace
Every person has a divinely implanted destiny and purpose, and we can never really be fully satisfied unless we live out that destiny and purpose through Christ. Ecclesiastes says, He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in men’s hearts and minds [a divinely implanted sense of a purpose working […]
Jesus Changes Everything: And We are Safe and Sound
The validity of the New Testament Gospel message is based upon the crucifixion of Christ, signifying the finished work of the cross. When it comes to interpreting Scripture, we need to have a Christ- centered view. Jesus, and what He accomplished on the cross, CHANGED EVERYTHING! The New Covenant – A Superior Covenant When we […]
Trust God, and Take a Risk with Jesus
One big thing we can all learn is that God is a risk taker. We are going to have to trust the Lord, and that means being willing to take a risk and move out of our comfort zones. There’s always a temptation to play it safe and just maintain what we have. But to […]
Fear Factor
Today, fear seems to be a normal part of life. Every day, people face fears of every kind. It’s as if fear has become man’s ever-present companion. Words that describe our society today are: fearful anxious dreadful fretful apprehensive. We are continually anxious about the soaring crime rate, the failing economy, wars and rumors of […]
It’s So Easy, Even You Can Do It
I was talking to a lady that helped me at our bank. When she heard that I was a preacher, she started talking about how difficult Christian life is! Her whole emphasis was on how only a few of the best Christians will one day make it to heaven! Many people today still think that […]
Live in the Peace that Jesus Promised You
Peace is a vital necessity for abundant life. No man can live the abundant life unless he has peace with God! Jesus said in John 14:27 AMP, “Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let […]
