Choices Determine Consequences
When my son was a little boy, I told him that in this life, we have a free will to make either good or bad choices. That choice will either yield a positive result or a negative result. He repeated my words to me, when as a teenager, he took ownership of a bad choice...
TWO MASTERS
Jesus said, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or he will be devoted to one and despise the other” (Matthew 6:24). Master is defined as a person who possesses authority, ownership, or instructional leadership. Therefore,...
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
The New Oxford American Dictionary defines “prayer” as “a request for help or an expression of thanks addressed to God.” For the Christian, prayer is conversation with God, through Jesus, our Intercessor. Adam and Eve enjoyed face-to-face communication...
WALK ON THE WATER
Do you ever feel as though the storms of life are overwhelming you? I am going through a personal storm with my health. And the Lord graciously reminded me not to focus on my problem but to keep my eyes on Him. Jesus calls us to get out of our boat (a metaphor...
The Narrow Gate
Many people are familiar with this passage in Scripture, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find...
“DID GOD REALLY SAY…”
Satan’s strategy is to create doubt and dispute God’s Word. He does that by mixing lies with just enough truth to muddy the waters and question God’s Word as being reliable, accurate, and inerrant. That deception was birthed in the Garden of Eden. In the beginning,...
OPEN DOORS
Statistically, 35 to 50 percent of Americans, who call themselves Christians, rarely or never read the Bible. That failure to lay a foundation of biblical truths creates open doors to the enemy’s attacks and lies. Only God’s inerrant Word opens doors to blessings and...
Feelings Can Misdirect Us
It is far too easy to make wrong decisions based on what we feel. I can testify that bad results come from bad decisions when generated from a self-will that does not pray and seek God’s direction. I have learned over my 55 years as a Christian that before making a...
I Surrender All
Recently, I was singing, “I Surrender All” when the Holy Spirit gently spoke into my spirit, “Do you really surrender all to Me?” I quickly knew that I do not, but if Jesus could surrender His will to His Father in the Garden for my sake and for yours, I must...
YOUR KINGDOM COME
How many times have you prayed the Lord’s Prayer and said, “Your kingdom come Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10 NKJV). What do those words mean? Simply stated, it is God’s will that His kingdom reign in the hearts of people on earth so they...
TRUST BRINGS PROVISION
God is an amazing provider and sustainer to those who trust and obey Him. For we are called to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. In all our ways we are to acknowledge Him, and He will make our paths straight (Proverbs...
A King’s Disobedience
To obey is better than sacrifice, and to [listen] than the fat of rams (I Samuel 15:22) There are many examples of kings, prophets, priests, disciples, and people in general who disobeyed God and suffered the consequences. For it is disobedience that imprisons and...
