Our Need of Cleansing
"Jesus answered, 'A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean...'" (John 13:10 NIV). During the time I was growing up, my family attended a church that could be called "the guilt center." The unconscious thinking seemed to be,...
Completing Your Faith
"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone..." (James 2:17). According to the Bible, God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. That means you have faith on the inside of you. However, there must be an act that corresponds with what you...
The Father Glorified
"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13). What a striking promise! When we are born into the family of God, the right and privilege to use the Name of Jesus is given to us by the New Birth....

Work Harder Than the World
Proverbs 24:33-34 (NLT) A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—and poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber. A common mistake Christians can make is to think that because we...
Build a Room for Him
… The Spirit Whom He has caused to dwell in us yearns over us and He yearns for the Spirit [to be welcome] with a jealous love.(James 4:5 Amp) It really shouldn’t surprise us that God responds in a special way when we desire not just His gifts, but His presence....
He Answers the Cry of Faith
