That’s A Good Idea When will we say, “Hey, that’s a good idea,” when it comes to God’s word? Elijah had pronounced a drought upon the land in response to the people’s continued disobedience to God’s commands. To King Ahab Elijah said, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because […]

Contentment Needed Contentment is an elusive commodity. Dissatisfaction has become an American epidemic. It is such dissatisfaction that has led to what ails much of our society today. People are looking for satisfaction or contentment in all the wrong places, and it is this feeding frenzy for more and better that has fueled the advertising […]

God’s Dwelling Place God gave Israel instructions on building the place He was to dwell. But can God really dwell with us?

Recovering God Ever feel like you’re all alone, that no one knows or cares what you’re going through, and that no one’s there to encourage you. Maybe you’ve been sick or in the hospital and no one was there with you. No one called and you began to feel sorry for yourself and your lot […]

God’s Sustaining Grace It seems that many people are going through so much lately. It’s really unbelievable. It ranges from those with a wide variety of illnesses to those whose stress levels have reached so high they’re one tick away from a heart attack.
