Let’s face it, life has its trials. As hard a we may try to avoid it, trouble always lurks right around the corner. We must resist the tendency to fret, tryin to find a cause of it; It’s a by-product of living in a fallen world. Remember, nothing comes into our life apart from the knowledge of God. If, we’re His child, we can rest assured the situation will be used by God for our…

When is the appropriate time to “retire” from the work the Lord has called us to? On the one hand, we must consider that our “secular” career may very well be God’s calling and we should be doing that “secular” work as unto God and not man. We may wisely choose a time to “retire” from that career; but our work on behalf of God’s kingdom, in my opinion, ends on the date printed on our death…

“We Continually encounter hardships. People disappoint us. We disappoint ourselves. But God is consistent and compassionate. We are not alone. He cares. Against all reason, the transcendent God loves us so much that He has committed Himself to us.” Author Unknown What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? he who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He…

Think About ItIf we call ourselves “Christian” and our lives are not noticeably different (for the better) than those who do not, than we are missing out on what God wants to give us, and we are not living jp to our calling as His children. “I therefore, a prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called.”Ephesians 4;1 ESV__________________________________________________

                                                  Think about It When sometuhing we own, (Automobile, household appliance, computer etc.) is not operating correctly, we go to the owner manual to determine what is wrong. We should do the same when or life is falling apart. We should consult the Bible. “For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in…

Think About ItI m one blessed with the ability to sleep well. Most nights, I go to sleep quickly and while I may wake up during the night, I usually go back to sleep easily. I have no explanation for this other than, in my opinion, daily I spend time meditating on God’s word. Scripture tells us to meditate on God’s word “day and night” (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1;1-2). Furthermore, it is God who gives us the…

  Throughout the gospels, Jesus quoted Old Testament scriptures as He spoke to the masses. If Jesus had confidence in Scripture as God’s inspired word, we too should consider the Bible as or guide to life. “For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.” Romans 15:4_________________________________________________

                                        Think About It      Every person who has accepted Jesus as His Savior and given Him control over his life has been indwelled with the person of Jesus through the Hold Spirit. This is the same power that raised Jesus from the grave. Much too often do I fail to exercise that power. “But you shall…
