Devotions
Saving the Lost
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Pet. 3:9). We know that saving the lost is God’s will because it...
I Shall Live and Not Die
I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. (Ps.118:17) Years ago while I was ministering at a youth camp in the Sierra Mountains near Sonora, California, I received an emergency telephone call. The voice on the other end said, “Brother...
Come Out of the Trial Stronger!
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” (1 Tim. 6:12). Someone said, “I thought when a person operated in faith, he wouldn’t have...
When Trouble Comes
We’re all familiar with John 3:16 but are we just as familiar with verse 18? It says, “No one who has faith in God’s Son will be condemned…” (CEV). That means God is not holding past failures against us. We have been acquitted of all past failures! He does not ask...
Don’t Waver in Your Believing
For let not that man [the man who wavers] think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. (James 1:7) The next night, the same thing happened again. This particular woman stood up before the offering was taken and said, “Pastor, I feel that we should...
What You’ve Lost to the Devil Will Be Restored
“Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor thy father and mother (which is the first commandment with a promise)” (Eph. 6:1-2). What is the promise that comes along with honoring your father and mother? It will be with you, and...
Train Your Spirit
“It (grace) has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually-whole) lives in this present world” (Titus 2:12). When an...
God’s Way Is Perfect
Psalm 18:30 (NLT) As for God, his way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. Everything we need to live a successful life we can find in the Bible. God gave us instructions and commandments to...
God’s Will for You is Sweatless Work
“And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15). Jesus restored to you all that Adam lost. One thing that Adam lost was sweatless work. He indeed had to work. But Adam’s work was...
Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing Baby
Yesterday I was driving down the highway and listening to my favorite CD by Chaim David. Chaim David lives in the old city of Jerusalem. Earlier this year I was browsing through some CD’s at the Moriah Bookstore just outside The Temple Mount. In the store they were...
