Detours

In our journey with God some of the best parts of the pilgrimage are the detours.

The Fruit Of The Spirit and Spiritual Maturity

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." Galatians 5: 22 - 23 NIV Fruit Of The Spirit, a compendium: Affection for others (love);Exuberance about life (joy);Serenity...

Today Is The Tomorrow You Worried About Yesterday

(So) do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34 AMPC Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. God got you through it. Trust Him for tomorrow....

All Accounted For

By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you. 2 Timothy 1:14 In April of 458 BC, as Ezra was getting ready to take a group of exiles from Babylon back to Jerusalem, he “set apart twelve of the leading priests” (Ezra 8:24) and handed...

This Is The Day The Lord Hath Made

Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and consecrated it. Exodus 20:8, 11 NRSV As with all God’s laws, the...

Sold Out For Christ

Like Job, I have examined the evidence that God created the Heavens and the Earth. I have found it to be true. I am so certain that I am betting my life on it.

There Will Be A Test Later

Questions God won't ask: Were you a Calvinist? An Arminian? A Catholic? Orthodox? Evangelical?"Were you a vegetarian?Was your favorite music opera, rap, or rock and roll?Did you live in a fancy house? The one question that is certain to be on the test: “What did you...

The Link Between Faith And Joy

The deeper one’s walk with Christ, the deeper the joy. Let joy be the barometer of faithfulness in Christ. When joy ebbs, look for an area of life that is not wholly set apart for Him. Surrender it.

Twelve Ordinary Men

The proclaiming of the Gospel and the founding of the Church hinged entirely on twelve men whose most outstanding characteristic was their ordinariness (Acts 4:13). Only twelve. And one fell away and was replaced. But think of what Christ did with a dozen ordinary...

Jesus And The Messiah

One encounter with Jesus Christ is enough to change you. Instantly, Forever. Luis Palau Listen to me. It is entirely possible to: grow up around Jesus and miss that He is the Messiah;be really religious and miss that Jesus is the Messiah;hear about Jesus for the very...

Omniscience

Has it ever occurred to you that nothing has ever occurred to our omniscient God? Adrian Rogers [Adapted]

Shabbat Shalom

Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. Deutronomy 5:12-14 NLT We do not rest on the Sabbath so...

Love Made Manifest

God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. This is real love. Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. 1 John 4:9-10 NLT

Orientation

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 Being unhappy is the easy way out.

An Orientation Of The Heart

Daily Bible study, prayer, and practicing of the presence of God, ultimately produces an orientation of the heart to faith. To hope. To love. To truth. To God. This from God’s word: Supplement your basic faith with a generous provision of moral excellence (good...

It Was A Day Like Any Other

My righteousness draws near, My salvation has gone out, and My arms will judge the peoples; the coastlands hope for Me, and for My arm they wait. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth beneath; for the heavens vanish like smoke, the earth will wear...
