Devotions
That’s Heavy, Man
"And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night" (Ex. 13:21). The Glory of God is hard to put into words. But God gives glimpses of it all throughout...
Saved From Wrath
Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. (Rom. 5:9 KJV) There is more! Now that God has accepted us because Jesus sacrificed his life's blood for our justification, we will be kept safe from God's anger towards...
The Problem Is Not With God
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. (John 15:7) Many years ago, when I was pastoring a church, I was praying about a certain thing. I was praying just like everyone else does - leaving it more up...
We Choose What We Look At
"And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way" (Num. 21:4). Israel is a type of the Church. First Corinthians 10:11 tells us that what happened to Israel...

"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." (Deut. 7:8 KJV) Now...
The Prodigal
"And when he came to himself, he said, 'How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more...
Be Clothed with Humility
"And be clothed with humility: for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5). Most believers don't know anything about true humility. If you tell them they're the righteousness of God, they'll fight to keep from believing it. You can give...
Direction In Life
Joshua’s victory went far beyond his own ability. He continued to march onward to conquer every enemy with increased assurance. His successes would not come through human effort alone. He had become thoroughly convinced that he was not limited to his own strength....
Christ Is Alive In Us
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.(John 19:30) When Jesus cried, "It is finished," He was not referring to the whole plan of salvation as being completed. He still had to descend...
