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).

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, …

Morning Devotions With Past Dan July 6th, 2020

Have you ever given much thought to what it means to meditate on the Word of God? Is it something we do regularly as Christians? Should it be part of our daily routine? What does it look like to meditate on the Word of God?

(Joshua 1:8)…..”This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will …

Think of the things we feed on, not food, but the things we watch, read, and listen to. The world, the flesh, and the devil want us to feed on those things that don’t glorify Him. God wants us to feed on things that do glorify Him. What will we do?

(Philippians 4:8)…..Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.

We …

Have you ever wondered about the resurrection, what it will be like, and what It will look like? Do thoughts of the resurrection go through your mind? What will our new body look like? Who will we know? These are questions I get asked all the time. But I have noticed something over the years as a Christian and as a pastor. I’ve noticed that people equate resurrection with a destination. You know, resurrection means I’m going to heaven. Although that is partly true, it is not all of what resurrection is. …
