Devotions
Check Your Affections
"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth" (Col. 3:1-2). Separating yourself from the ways of the world doesn't always mean just...
Enduring All Things For Others
Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes that they may also obtain the salvation, which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. (2 Tim. 2:10 KJV) Can we endure all things for the sake of those who have been chosen by God's love, so they, too, may receive...
Release Your Faith
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. (James 5:15)As this dear woman started to speak, I interrupted her, saying, "Wait a minute, sister; don't say a word." I...
Confess, Believe, Receive
"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved" (Rom. 10:9). It's so easy to receive from God. God made it easy. He purchased everything we could ever need and then...

Looking Unto Jesus
"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God" (Heb. 12:2). We need to understand that we all have a different race...
Live the Love Life
"But who so keeps his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abides in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked" (1 John 2:5-6). There is nothing—absolutely nothing—that is more important...
The Standard For Success
Our fall from grace can be seen when our personal ambition reigns supreme in our lives. It becomes apparent when we push to do what we want, regardless of God’s desire for us. This kind of ambition can be very deceptive. It is always driven and directed by goals we...
Faith Won’t Quit
"And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy...
