Think about how many ways people are trying to get to heaven these days. Many are relying on their own goodness (which is an impossibility according to what we are told in (Romans 3:10-18). Others are relying on their good works, which are not really good when they are compared to the Holy God, and His standards. There are some who are even relying on a false religion (sometimes the false religion is one that is made up in their own mind). So there are many who following the road that leads to destruction.

(Matthew 7:13-14)…..Enter …

When we look at modern Christian literature in book stores or on line it is easy to be discouraged by what we see. There have been so many books and magazine articles written from a supposedly Christian perspective that tell us how to gain self-esteem, whether that be for others or ourselves. We have been taught by the supposed “experts” on human behavior that low self-esteem is at the root of all our emotional and relational problems. But there is not a single verse in the entire Bible that tells us that we need to build our …

Faith can work in the life of anyone who dares to listen to God’s Word and surrender to His will. But is that who we are? Are we people who will believe God for His promises – even when life and all its difficulties seem to be against us? For God to count us as men or women of faith means we come to a place where we trust Him

There are ordinary people with Extra-Ordinary Faith, such as the people listed in the Scripture’s like…..

• Gideon – (Judges 6:11-17)(Judges 7:1-25) 
• Barak – (Judges 4:6-24)
• Samson –

(Psalm 119:89)…..Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.

Heaven is not running around trying to figure out the will of God. His Word is settled in Heaven. Now that He has given His Word, He will keep it and see that it comes to pass.

(Mark 13:31)…..”Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

(Isaiah 40:8)…..”The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.”

(1 Peter 1:23)…..having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives …

(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.’ 38 “This is the first and great commandment.

What is the most important that anybody can do in their life here on earth? What is the most important command given by God for us to honor and obey? The most important command is to love God with all your being. As with all His commands, God does not give this for His benefit, but for your benefit. Putting God first will bless …

(John 17:17)…..Your word is truth.

The world we live in is either frantically looking for truth or running from it. So what is truth? Where do I find what is absolute truth? Is it found in our educational system? Is it found in our government documents? Is it found in science? Is it found in man? Is it found in _____________________? No, os the answer to everything, even if you put anything in the sentence besides God’s Word.

According to Jesus, the Word of God is truth. Yet many people proclaim quite different messages — all using …

So do you like to pray? Does it help? Does it work? If you answered yes to either of these then prayer is an intimate activity with God that we should be doing every moment we get.

(Isaiah 40:31)…..But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength…..

Too many people think of prayer only as asking God for what they want. But prayer is much more than that. Prayer is communication and communion with Almighty God. Somehow, in the act of prayer, we receive a transfusion of God’s strength. Just think about what Jesus …

Do you like to fight? It seems like there is a lot of it going on today. People are fighting with all sorts of things, diseases, addictions, spouses, employers, government, politicians, policies, etc. There seems to be fighting, complaining, and grumbling wherever anyone looks. I understand the frustrations so many have when the world around them seems to be falling apart one piece at a time. This is certainly seen in all of the encroachments done by are government in regard to our freedoms. People are in the fighting mode because of all that is going on, …
