To God be the glory

1 Peter 4:11—”If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” We can plainly see […]

The joy of the Lord is your secret and strength

Thessalonians 5:16-18—”Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” The one difference that stands out between a believer and an unbeliever is the peace and joy abiding in the former. Believers follow the Word […]

Whose ways govern your delight – God or man?

Proverbs 16:7-9—”By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the […]

Proud or Lowly – How do you React?

Proverbs 11:2-3—”Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see that with the lowly is wisdom. An honest man’s principles are fixed, therefore his way is plain.” Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s achievements, associations, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.

2 Peter 3:9—”The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Put on the evening news – on one side you have Isis doing their bit governed by a leader with head strong […]

God is good

Psalm 119:68 – “You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.” We sing it loud and clear during worship, “God is good, all the time.” We believe it to be true at that time, otherwise the words won’t escape our lips that easily. But do we still believe that statement after the music has ended? […]

What would you choose?

Proverbs 13:13:  Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. The word spoken of here is God’s word or instruction on how to live life.  If anybody despises the word of God or expresses a strong dislike or hatred, then their end would be destruction.  On the […]

Pray Always

Matthew 26:36:  Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane and saith unto the disciples, sit ye here while I go and pray yonder. Jesus was both human and God.  He prayed always.  Even at the point of death, He had TIME to pray and seek the face of His heavenly Father.  He […]

Being led by the Spirit

Romans 8:14:  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. To everyone who believes in God, He has given the authority to be called as children of God.  We have two masters who will lead us on the earth; one is the devil and the other […]
