Step Out of the Boat
“And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter was come down out of the ship, He walked on the water” (Matt. 14:28-29). It’s easy to be so afraid of making...
You Are Loved Unconditionally
There was something very different about the Apostle John. He was the youngest of all of Jesus’ disciples, but a quality lay deep within John that set him apart from all the other disciples. We can see that difference at the Last Supper and again at the foot of the...
Becoming a Star at Work
Some people always seem to make things happen. Others seemingly have to be prodded at every turn. Guess which type is most often tapped for leadership and promotion? When you examine the lives of those who rise to positions of responsibility, you find some common...
The Blood of Jesus Has Power
In Hebrews 12:24 it says, “To Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.” The blood of Jesus is much more powerful than the blood of Abel or that of bulls and goats. Under the new...

Be a Person of Your Word
“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matt. 12:34). You cannot separate yourself from your word, for you are only as good as your word. I heard one minister say, “Sometimes a person’s faith doesn’t work because his...
Salt in Our Speech
“Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one” (Col. 4:6). There is a vast difference between salty speech and speech seasoned with salt. Salty speech is offensive, sarcastic, sharp,...
