Say Thank You David says, “Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” (Psalm 107: 1-2a NKJV) Why are we to say “Thank you” to God? It’s because He delights in our appreciation. David goes on to say, “Then they […]

Let’s Give Thanks for God “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations” (Psalm 100:4-5 NKJV). During Thanksgiving we always tend to list those items we’re thankful for, like […]

God Honors Those Who Honor Him We live in a world and society that continues to assault the basic tenants and moral values of the Christian faith. This has also made its way into today’s church. There are Christians who want God to bless them, yet they’re living counter to God’s word. They’re living lives […]

God is Working It All Out For Good There are some things nobody wants to experience. These range from a painful divorce, a loss of a child or spouse, to the diagnoses of painful and terminal diseases. These are experiences everyone wishes would never happen in their lifetime. But the reality is that relationships are […]

Living a Balanced Life At first what Solomon is saying seems blasphemous. “Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise: why should you destroy yourself?

He was experiencing the fullness of God’s […]

A Refuge in the Storm Life is filled with troubles. Now there’s something nobody ever thought about! But while troubles are a foregone conclusion, we don’t think the same about God being our refuge through them. But that’s exactly what God is, a refuge through the storms of life. You might think of it as […]

God’s Detour Mathematics has proven that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. While this is true in math, it’s far from true in real life, especially in the way God deals with us. Often times the shortest distance is an alternative route. Take for instance these GPS devices; they give driving […]

Getting Out of the Rut One of the Christian’s biggest enemies is coming to the place where everything is predictable, customary, and routine. This is a place where nobody expects God to do anything unusual or out of the ordinary. It’s where miracles are talked about in the past, but they’re not expected in the […]

God Our Stronghold Yesterday we looked at overcoming the Satan’s strongholds in our lives. But reading Psalm 27 it hit me; the best way to overcome Satan’s strongholds is to make the Lord our stronghold. This was what the prophet Nahum found out. “The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; […]
