Working the Word
There is a true story of a young man in a railroad station who was watching an elderly gentleman read the signs up on the wall that were in very small print. The young man was thinking, "How can that man, being as old as he is, read that small print?" Then he...
God Wants to Bless Us
Proverbs 10:22 (NLT) The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 12:11 (NLT) Hard work means prosperity; only fools idle away their time. God wants to bless us and His blessing makes us rich (prosperous) in every area of...
Transportation to Transformation
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 KJV Some believers get the mistaken idea that because God’s grace and not our own willpower is what changes us, they can just...
From the Roots Up
"And Jesus answered and said unto the fig tree, 'No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.' And his disciples heard it...And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots" (Mark 11:14,20). You can't wipe out a weed simply by...

"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving" (Col. 2:6-7). We are well equipped to walk in the blessings of God....
Get Out Your Marching Shoes!
"The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly..." (Rom. 16:20 NKJ). Two keys phrases here are crush and under your feet. In the original Greek, the word translated crush is suntribo (soon-tree'-bo), meaning "to shatter, annihilate, torpedo,...
Love is Unselfish
"Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil" (1 Cor. 13:5 KJV). The essence of love is to be completely unselfishness. To be unselfish means that you always have others in mind...to do them good. Love seeks only...
Limiting God
"Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel" (Ps. 78:41). Can you limit God? The Bible says Israel did. And we have limited Him. We have limited God with our prayer life. John Wesley, founder of Methodism, said, "It seems God is...
