“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, end of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)

For intercourse with God, His word and prayer or both indispensable; and in the inner chamber they should not be separated. In His word, God, speaks to me: in prayer, I speak to God. The Word teaches me to know the God to whom I pray: it teaches …

“You are a busy person. You have a lot to do. Why should you spend your time reading the Bible? You don’t have time to do all I need to do as it is.” “You already believe in Jesus Christ, that He’s the Son of God and your Savior. You have already heard the Gospel.”

“Why should you read the Bible?” Please think about the following Scriptures. Then, you will understand why you should read the Bible.

(John 8:31-32 RSV)…..Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If …

It is very possible that the Lord’s return is at hand. I want to point out four major marks that show we are in the last days

1. Mark 1 – perilous times – (1 Timothy 3:1)
2. Mark 2 – a godless world – (1 Timothy 3:2-4)
3. Mark 3 – powerless religion – (1 Timothy 3:5)
4. Mark 4 – corrupt ministers – (1 Timothy 3:6-9)

Perilous times means – difficult – troublesome – trying – uneasy – hard – violent – threatening – and dangerous; Scripture leaves no doubt about what is …

(2 Timothy 3:1-9)…..But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: ² For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, ³ unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, ⁴ traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, ⁵ having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! ⁶ For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with …

This morning we are still looking at (2 Timothy 2:1-2). God is looking for fat men to use. Do you qualify? God wants men who are Faithful, Able, and Teaching. This morning let’s address the “Teaching” attribute that God wants in men. God wants men who can teach His word to others. But first we need to be men who prepare ourselves. Men who do not wait for others to teach them, but study themselves to show themselves approved (2 Timothy 2:15) (1 Timothy 4:13-16). Men we ought to …

This morning we are still looking at (2 Timothy 2:1-2). God is looking for fat men to use. Do you qualify? God wants men who are Faithful, Able, and Teaching. This morning let’s address the “Able” attribute that God wants in men. Men, you who are husbands, fathers, single, really all of us, we need to be able (competent) men of God, able men who can teach others the word of God (Ezra 7:10) (1 Timothy 3:1-13) (2 Timothy 2:24-25). We are to be men of great uprightness and …

God is looking for fat men to use. Do you qualify? God wants men who are Faithful, Able, and Teaching. This morning lets address the faithful attribute that God wants in men. Just as the Lord Himself was faithful – and as Moses was faithful – (Hebrews 3:1-6). Just as Paul himself was counted faithful – (1 Timothy 1:12) (1 Corinthians 7:25). These are men whom the Lord can trust and depend on – (Luke 16:10-12). Men, has the Lord counted you faithful to Himself?

God wants men …

Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson August 3rd,2023 Matthew 1:21 tells us that Mary would give birth to a son, and they would give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.” The name “Jesus” actually means “the Lord saves” or “the Lord is a Savior.” So, when we say “Jesus” we are actually saying “Savior.” The two words are synonyms. The angel told Joseph what to name the son born to his wife Mary — and the reason for that particular name. Jesus: because He will save. We could say, “Savior — because He

(2 Timothy 2:17-21)…..And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort, 18 who have strayed concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection is already past; and they overthrow the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor …

When I mention the word study what comes to mind? Is it school, library, detention, boring, cheating, or to much work? There is a culture today being trained in the art of laziness, cheating, menial effort in academia, in the work force, and it all stems from today’s culture and education that teaches the get it quick mindset, the I don’t have to work at it mindset, the I don’t need to study mindset. The sad thing is this attitude has crept into the body of Christ too where the life …
