“And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.” Acts 12:12 Mothers are called on to do many things in their relationship to their children, but they do nothing greater than pray for their children. Do you […]
The Bible says in I Corinthians 15:51-57, “Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For […]
Many churches are changing. All over the world, churches have fallen into the “success syndrome.” The measure of whether or not they are getting the job done has become little more than keeping score. I am grateful to God for the number of people who attend our church, for the generous giving on the part […]
It is a wonderful thing that God has let us live to see a new year and we praise the Lord for His precious promises. For each new day God gives us, He also gives us the strength and grace we need for that day. “…and as thy days, so shall thy strength be” Deuteronomy […]
All of us have treasures. Children treasure their toys. A special object handed down from one generation to another becomes a family treasure. What are your treasures? What is considered to be of greatest value to you? Shortly after my wife and I were married, our house was burned. Nearly every earthly possession we had […]
The human penman John obeyed God’s command to write, “the things which thou hast seen,” which are the things of the past; and “the things which are,” that is this present age; and then, “the things which shall be hereafter” (Revelation 1:19). When we come to the second and third chapters of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, we are dealing with […]
The Revelation of Jesus Christ can be the most life-changing book in the Bible, but only if you read it and apply it to your life. The Word of God says in Revelation 1:1, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and […]
Our entire faith is anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians must speak about this truth with absolute clarity. The Devil is the author of confusion, and he does everything he can to confuse people about this single event. During this time of year, many people in America get sidetracked by the Easter bunny […]
The book of Ezra records one of the greatest turning points in the work of God for all time. I have several books about the history of military conquests. One of them describes fifteen decisive battles that changed the course of history. As I was looking through that book recently, I thought to myself, “Did […]
In II Timothy 2:2 the Bible says, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” Notice the expression, “faithful men.” Our world is missing faithful men. In this sense, I am not talking about being faithful to your family or […]
