Live A Holy Life
"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor. 6:20). Your body is not your own. Therefore what you do with it is not solely up to you. You've been bought with a price. You've been paid for by the...
He Saved Us And Called Us
Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity. (2 Tim. 1:9 NASB) To think that God purposed to save us, call us, and grace us before...
Put Your Faith in the Word First
Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (James 5:14)The same day that I prayed for that woman, about the middle of the afternoon, there was another knock on my...
The Same Price
"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). Who does redemption belong to? It belongs to "whosoever" will call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. It's all through the Bible. God is "not willing that...

Firstborn From the Dead
Who his dear Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all...
Leaving the Pain Behind
"Love is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it - pays no attention to a suffered wrong" (1 Cor. 13:5). Have you ever tried to forgive someone...and found you simply couldn't do it? You've cried about it and prayed about it...
Human Effort
When the Apostle Paul wrote the church at Galatia, he addressed a problem that often arises to challenge the Body of Christ in a variety of ways. Paul urged the young church to correct a doctrinal error to which they had yielded: the mistaken belief that their...
Bring Them To Jesus
"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...
