What a promise we have that the Lord will never leave us or forsake us. It sure is comforting to know that truth. But how many know this?

(Deuteronomy 31:8 NASB)…..”And the LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear, or be dismayed.”

God’s promise is He will never leave us or forsake us. Yet we may sometimes feel hopeless and helpless — like we are facing life all alone. Regardless of the circumstances, or how you feel, remember that …

When we take a moment to look back over our lives – we can see that God has been faithful to us in everything. Oh, it may have been difficult at times, but He is more than faithful to those who are His. I hope that you too can testify to the Lord’s faithfulness. His word declares His faithfulness to you – (Numbers 23:19) (Deuteronomy 32:4) (Psalm 33:4) (Isaiah 41:10) (1 John 1:9) (1 Corinthians 1:3-9) (Philippians 1:6) (2 Timothy 2:13)

His faithfulness does give us a sense of comfort – and great security – but it …

We live in crazy times! One can’t turn on the tv or the radio for news and find a lot of truth coming through the program. It seems that we have been lied to daily by our government politicians and the press. But in all of this mass chaos, One sits on the throne who is both King and Lord. Yes, I am talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. He sits as the only Potentate that there is. There is no other One that we ought to love and serve. However, we are in times where many …

Sin will kill you. If you practice sin, it will pay you by destroying you.

(Romans 6:23)…..For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life …

What is it that you delight in? Is it sports? Is it work? Is it people? Is it some hobby you like? Just what is it that drives your passion? Maybe you can say it is the Lord Himself that delights your soul. I hope that is the case, after all isn’t that the way it is supposed to be?

(Matthew 22:37-38)…..Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment.

(Psalm 37:4)…..Delight yourself also in the LORD, …

Is God happy? I know, what a strange thing to ask. But has that question ever come across your mind? Now, before I go any further, let me say that He is not happy with sin and the havoc it has brought on His creation. At least that is what I think from what I see in His word. But what about when it comes to His gospel or His kingdom, and things like that, do these things make Him happy?

(1 Timothy 1:11)…..according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my …

(Nahum 1:3-8)…..The Lord is slow to anger and great in power,
and will not at all acquit the wicked. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet. ⁴ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts. ⁵ The mountains quake before Him, the hills melt, and the earth heaves at His presence, yes, the world and all who dwell in it. ⁶ Who can stand before His indignation? …

In the New Testament – the gospel never means simply “a book” but rather the message. It is a message which Christ and His apostles proclaimed to the nations, through the authority of Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20).

The following are the different phrases that the gospel is called in the Bible

1. The gospel of God – (Romans 1:1) (1 Thessalonians 2:2,9) (1 Timothy 1:11)
2. The gospel of Christ – (Mark 1:1) (Romans 1:16) (Romans 15:19)(1 Corinthians 9:12,18) (

Before Jesus Christ gave His disciples their Great Commission to preach the gospel and make disciples of all nations, He first revealed Himself in His divine power as a partner with God Himself, the Almighty One. It was the faith of this that enabled the disciples to undertake the work in boldness. They had begun to know Him in that mighty resurrection power which had conquered sin and death; there was nothing to great for Him to command or for them to undertake.

(Matthew 28:18)…..And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, …
