In Spite of Pain

It is difficult to continue to move forward when pain has aggressively invaded our bodies. We know that we have a duty to perform and we would like to perform this duty in good health, however sometimes that is not possible. We work when we are hurting because there may be others depending on us. So, we go on the best we can..

David‘s pain was deep. His son Absalom was chasing him through the wilderness, and wanted to destroy him. He loved his son and wanted nothing more t

The Power of Unbelief

There are consequences for not believing in the power of God. Jesus could do no mighty works in His home town because of their unbelief. It says that He marveled at their unbelief … He did heal a few sick, but what was possible their unbelief would not permit.

Unbelief is not the opposite, Fear is the opposite of Faith Faith involves trust, hope and belief in God’s promises, love and purpose, leading to confidence and definite actions. We ask God to intervene in our lives

Why Church?

The foundational scripture is found in Hebrews 10:25 “Not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together…“

The Church has been instituted for several reasons. We want to solidify our relationship with God, We gather to perpetuate the love for one another and because The Lord inhabits the praises of His saints.

We celebrate the Lord on the Lord’s day, We come together to worship, to be encouraged and learn from God’s Word. Matthew says, "For where two or three gather in m

Weapons of Mass Destruction

We are living in an era of advanced weapontry. Just by the push of a button nations and countries can be destroyed. This is why we must maintain a healthy relationship with world powers to prevent a catastrophic event from happening.

When we are walking with the Lord, He protects us from evil that would come against us. Isaiah 54:17 is a divine promise of protection … “No Weapon formed against us shall prosper”. Whether we are attacked verbally or physically. The attack wi

Fear of the Lord

What does it mean to be in fear of the Lord? Are we to be scared of Him? Do we tremble in His presence? We wonder why we are afraid of the One who loves us so much that He gave His Son to die in our stead.

The fear of the Lord is not meant for us to be afraid, it is a Holy reverence and deep respect for God. Psalm 111:10 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding has all those who do His commandments. His praise endureth forever”.

In the image of God

What does it mean to be in the image of God? It doesn’t mean a physical likeness, it is as though we as humans have spiritual and moral qualities that are a part of us. It is innate, it is inborn. We reflect the image of God through our attributes e.g. the ability to love, having tender hearts and the willingness to help those in need of help without remorse. Use God’s image to comfort others and to give of yourself to better yourself and others.

What a Friend!

Is there a certain someone who you consider a friend? I’m not referring to an acquaintance, I'm talking about someone who you can depend on. Someone that you know if you were in need of something they would come to your aid or make arrangements to help you. We have a friend that sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus, He’ll hear our faintest cry and answer by and by. What a friend we have in Jesus … all our sins and griefs to bear … what a privilege to carry every

Loving Yourself

The love of the world is different from the love that is described in the Bible. Biblical love is selfless and unconditional. The love of the world is selfish and lustful. Jesus said Love one another as I have loved you. Think about this … can we love someone else if we don't love for ourselves? We should treat others how we treat ourselves. When we love ourselves that love is transferred to others. We treat others how we want to be treated. When we send out love we hope t

Loving Your Neighbor

We may think our neighbor is the people that live next door to us or across the street from us, Christ extends that relationship to a wider circumference.

Our neighbor is whoever is in need, whoever we can help, whoever we can serve. This service reaches far beyond our immediate area. It reaches a person standing by the freeway asking for money, it reaches people that are hungry and in pain.

Jesus tells a parable of a Jewish person that had been robbed and beaten and left fo

The Oil of The Holy Spirit

The Oil of The Holy Spirit is not really a substance, it is referring to the Power and Presence of The Holy Spirit. When we allow The Holy Spirit to reign and rule in our lives, we are imbued with the anointing of The Spirit. We will be inspired to evangelize or help in some other ministry to move the church forward. The Holy Spirit is a gift from God, He comes to comfort us, stand by us and to help us in times of need. He illuminates us, He makes us aware of the Holy

The God Ordered Peace

How do we acquire tranquility when everything around us has turned upside down. I pray for nights to be restful and days to be peaceful and our efforts to be filled with fruitfulness. It is easy to say, but difficult to have. When the walls of our lives are crumbling around us and things just don’t seem to work out well, we find ourselves in despair and without peace.

Philippians 4:6-7, can answer our uneasiness. It tells us not to worry about anything,but we should pray. O

Faith

God is outside the realm of the five senses. We cannot sense Him. We must connect with Him through Faith. It says, He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. We don’t accept the worldly view of God, because He stands outside of our demension. He is in the supernatural, and we seek Him supernaturally. Faith is supernatural, it is that which we Hope for, supernaturally, will materialize in the natural. It is the substance of things Hope for … Faith is the foun

Grace

Grace is an unmerited favor from God. It is not giving us what we justly deserve. We are living under Grace in this age because the price has been paid for our sins. God has spared us because of the sacrifice that Jesus gave for us. We were living with the stain of sin on us, but Jesus shedded His blood and made the eternal sacrifice for our sins and caused us to live under Grace.

God’s Love

Can we really understand the depth of God’s Love for us? Can you really see how He watches over us day and night. He cares about us, our problems, our troubles, things that upset us and causes us to cry. He cares so much for us that He gathers our tears in a bottle. God Loves us so much that He sent His Son to die so that we might live. So, I question the Love we have for one another. Can we see our brother or sister alone and destitute without having feelings for th

Thoughts on the Disaster in Texas

It is a tragedy that fell on that Texas community. People were made unalive and some have not been found. There is no way we can ever prepare ourselves for a tragedy like this. We will continue to pray for the families and those that are lost, we pray that they may be found safe.
