(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: …

(Mark 4:37-40)…..And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace,be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no …
(Hebrews 11:6)…..6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
A right relationship with God does not happen by accident it requires faith, and a diligence in seeking Him. I preached on seeking the Lord this last Sunday, and even used this verse in the sermon to show God’s expectation that He has of His people to seek Him. Seeking God has been talked about …
Where I live I see a mass of housing being built for people moving into our state. It seems as if everywhere I look a new neighborhood or housing development pops up out of nowhere. However, with all the building going on one has to wonder just what kind of quality people are getting in their new homes. I look at some of those older homes that were built around one hundred years ago and am impressed by the quality of materials and craftsmanship that were used in them, and …
(Hebrews 9:13-14)…..13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
(Hebrews 12:25-29)…..25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if …
(Philippians 3:13)…..13 one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,…..
Are you feeling older? Have you noticed how quickly things get old or outdated? New automobiles become old after driving them off the car lot. Computers become outdated in six months or less. Houses deteriorate and need repair. What’s new today will be old tomorrow. That is true about everything but the gospel. The gospel message is over 2,000 years old, yet it is still just as fresh and …
In today’s “modern” world, we find very few people who want to wait for anything, and instead wanting to do things very quickly. Think for a moment how slow things were 25, 30, 50, even 100 years ago. They were different times and people worked and lived at a much more slower pace, at least that is how it seems. That’s not to imply that the work wasn’t hard, because I’m sure it was, but that life just seemed to move as a slower pace. Where our ancestors took many weeks, …
(2 Timothy 3:14-17)…..14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.…
