Making Church Your Habit The church habit I’m talking about isn’t a monk or nun sort of thing; rather it’s something that we need to do with frequency. The writer of Hebrews says it’s a necessity. “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage […]

Prayer Helps Whenever you find yourself in times of trial, afflicted and in torment, what you need to know is that you’re never more than a prayer away. We need to come to the realization that on our own we have no power over what happens in our lives. The Apostle Paul said, “We were […]

A Door of Hope When we go through the valleys of life, the Lord doesn’t sit up in heaven saying, “I hope they get through.” God isn’t apathetic to our situation; instead He will guide and protect us. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in […]

Speak What You Eat There’s an old saying, “You are what you eat.” But we also speak what we spiritually eat. Jesus said, “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of […]

What Will You Seek God sent a message of courage to Jeremiah’s scribe, Baruch. He was feeling discouraged saying, “I am overwhelmed with trouble! Haven’t I had enough pain already?

Desiring God’s Presence As believers in Jesus Christ, there is one thing we desire above anything and everything else in our present state of distress, and that is the presence of God. Our prayer would match Isaiah’s, who cried out, “Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble […]

Let the Holy Spirit Move In The problem with the church, and hence believers, is the same thing that Paul saw in the Corinthians church, and that is they were more controlled by the world and their sinful desires than by the Holy Spirit. “You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling […]

A Languishing Soul It’s not easy to wait patiently, especially when it comes to our need to wait upon the Lord. Psalm 119: 81-88 says, “My soul faints for Your salvation, but I hope in Your word. My eyes fail from searching Your word, saying, ‘When will You comfort me?’ … Yet I do not […]

Faith To Hang Tough There will be times when our faith is tested; not only in God, but also in God’s calling and where He has called us carry out His ministry. Consider Abraham’s testimony. “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an […]
