(Romans 2:5-16)…..⁵ But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, ⁶ who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: ⁷ eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; ⁸ but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, ⁹ tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first …

 So amazing is God’s plan of redemption that God knew the right time for Jesus to be born to accomplish His purpose (Galatians 4:4). From the beginning God began to move an ancestral line which would bring about the birth of Jesus Christ, you can read this in (Matthew 1:1-17) (Luke 3:23-38), and the thought and care it took for God to bring us His Son, in His right time, is incredible. This was not something that should have caught anyone by surprise, Moses and the prophets had …

(Mark 6:31)…..And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

One preacher paraphrased this verse by saying “come apart before you come apart.” Jesus is our source and place of rest, so resting should be a turning to God, not a turning away from Him. Rest is something that every part of our body, physically, spiritually, and emotionally needs. As much as our bodies need …

(Colossians 1:9-12)…..⁹ For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; ¹⁰ that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; ¹² giving thanks to the Father who …

(Luke 18:1-8)…..1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 “Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying,’Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 “And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself,’Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 ‘yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge …

(Philippians 3:10-12)…..that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, ¹¹ if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. ¹² Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

Never choose to be a worker! What are you saying Pastor Dan? Never choose to be a worker; but when God …

What makes a church grow? Is it the role of church leadership to put on a show every Sunday, and water down the Scriptures, just to get a church (the body and bride of Christ) to grow? That might be what it takes for the tares (unbelievers), but that is not what it takes for the real believers. When we study the early church we can see that from its inception it was a mighty entity that burst forth from God’s working, God’s will (Acts 2:41) (Acts 4:4) (Acts 5:14) …

(Isaiah 40:31)…..But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

What do you think about this verse of Scripture? When you think about it there is actually a very difficult part to this verse. A certain action that is very hard to do for most, and certainly for myself. That is, to “wait” on the Lord. Yep, how about you? Is that difficult for you? Listen, I …

(Acts 20:24)…..”But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

“None of these things move me.” Those are powerful words from Paul for sure because some believers are tempted to give up on their faith in God whenever the least thing seems to go wrong in their lives. The apostle Paul suffered many things: …
