Isaiah 26:8,9 …the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early… Reader, what is your desire this morning? Here we read that the desire of one’s...

Matthew 21:21,22 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall...

Daniel 6:26,27 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and steadfast forever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He...

Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Jesus Christ is called The Prince of Peace. When peace is spoken of amongst the saints of God, it usually is within the context of our...

The Scriptures tell us that mankind is either being conformed to the image of Jesus or the image of this world system. The question that we must ask ourselves today is, ‘Am I truly growing in grace and in the knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?’ I’ve learned...

What are you believing God for at this present moment? The salvation of a lost spouse or relative? Physical healing? Finances? This side of Glory is filled with episodes of difficulties. The Scriptures tell us that without faith it is impossible to please God. The...

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” Let that truth sink deep down into your heart today. By God’s wonderful design, Jesus Christ was sent into this world to save sinners. We are sinners in need of God’s...

Eternal life is knowing the true and living God. All of Scripture points to Him and encourages us to grow in the knowledge of Him. Apart from its theological and eternal importance, the practical value of knowing Him is the key to confident living in an unpredictable...

All Christians are commanded to be holy. We are not given the option of being “selectively” holy. By that I mean that we “reserve” areas in our lives where we can engage in questionable activity or speech. There is no escaping this call unto holiness3 and purity for...

“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” (Heb 1:14) I was shocked the other day when that “still, small voice” asked me if I was a Sadducee. Remember them? They were the typical wealthy, aristocratic religious...

You remember that Adam and Eve were forbidden to eat or touch the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden. How interesting that man, before the fall, was forbidden to touch that tree, but today because of God’s Lamb, Jesus Christ, man is invited to ‘Come to...

Colossians 1:12,13 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: God tells us through His...

Moses was one of the mightiest vessels of the Lord. He was indeed a man of faith, but he was also a man of fruit. However, like Elijah, he was a man subject to the passions and temptations in life like every one of us. For example, he had a problem with anger, as...

We are ever being taught by God’s Spirit to walk by faith, and not by sight. Faith sees what the natural eye doesn’t. How important it is for us to grasp this key to a steady walk with Jesus. I was reminded of this again when one of the lines sung during a worship...

“All flesh is as grass, and the glory of man as the flower of grass.” “Surely every man at his best state is altogether vanity.” Humanism at its best is folly. When humanism creeps into the church the Body of Christ is weakened, and the glory of God declines to “the...

Isaiah 40:29-31 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with...

This English word “fellowship” is taken from the Greek word “koinonia”. Among other things, it carries the idea of partnership, a sharing of something in common. When the church was formed, fellowship was a very vital ingredient. Now let’s not think that this meant...

Galatians 6:7,8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Each person...

The Bible teaches us about faith. There faith is defined; we might call it a “statement of faith”. It is very important that we know both what we believe and why we believe it. Scripture is given for correct doctrine. Nevertheless, as believers saved by grace through...

If there is one thing that every child of God must understand, it’s the purpose of God in saving us. Without this knowledge of, “Why did Jesus need to die for me?” and “How is that truth to affect my day to day life?”, one’s faith becomes foggy, uncertain. This lack...

We find in a study of the Book of Acts the outpouring of God the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius and his household, who were Gentiles. They became, as the Jewish disciples of Jesus had become on Pentecost, heavenly-equipped for holy living! Jesus foretold of this filling...

This exhortation from the lips of Jesus is found in Mark 11:22. Don’t speed read the passage - read it again prayerfully, slowly. This is God the Son speaking, not only to Peter, but to you and me. No matter what crisis you may be in today, have faith in God. How...

When Ananias was told by the Lord Jesus to go and seek out Saul of Tarsus, it was revealed to him the reason he was to do so was because Saul was a “chosen vessel” for the Lord. He would be called to bear the name of Jesus in the world, and he would also suffer for...

A person who has trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation is “justified” by God. As Spurgeon wonderfully wrote, “God will never accuse me of owing for a debt that has already been paid.” “But the just shall live by his faith.” This concept, first stated in Habakkuk 2:4,...
