Trusting God Above Circumstances The prophet Elijah prophesied there would be a drought for several years. The Lord then led him to a brook and had the ravens feed him. But when the brook dried up the Lord told him to go to Zarephath of Sidon where He had commanded a widow to care for […]

Consequences and Deliverance Nebuchadnezzar, king and ruler of Babylon, had just set up a golden image and commanded everyone, including his leaders, to bow down and worship it. If not, there would be serious consequences, the fiery furnace. The ruler of this world, Satan, has done much the same thing. He has set up his […]

Is There A Difference? What difference is there between those who call themselves Christians and the rest of the world? When we look at the lives of Christians today, we see little if any difference with the world around us. We see those who call themselves Christians living together without being married. We see the […]

Shrewd For God We’re to use what we’ve been given for the furtherance of God’s Kingdom. This was the heart of the message given by Jesus in the parable of the unjust servant. Jesus said, “Therefore if you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?” […]
