War Has Been Declared

It certainly is appropriate to describe the life of a Christian as one that is involved in spiritual warfare. “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Tim. 1:18). By becoming a Christian, we chose

When God Rejects Worship

What do you think when you hear the word worship? You might be surprised that not every one will have the same thoughts. The word “worship” literally means, “to kiss toward”. In other words, worship should include actions that show my love and affection to God. While there are those who attempt to worship other

Trusting The Lord

Jesus is not your average man. Yes, He is known as the Son of man. That indicates His humanity. Yet, He is also known as the Son of God. That indicates His Deity (John 5:18). It is correct to identify Jesus as God (John 1:1-3). He is one of three that make up the Godhead

How Far Will You Go With Jesus?

How wonderful and encouraging it is when a person chooses to become a Christian. That person has come to the decision that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Also, that person has decided to change his thinking and his life. He is so confident in his faith that he will verbally acknowledge such

Abraham’s Seed

In the course of history, few men have been esteemed higher than the man named Abraham. The Bible states that he was called the “Friend of God” (James 2:23). That was due to his great faith and obedience, which can easily be seen by reading, “By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out

The Lord Stood With Me

Sometimes fighting the good fight of faith can seem like a lonely war. Considering that the “few” are the ones that are saved, that means that the “many” are not on the side of righteousness (Matt. 7:13-14). In other words, Christians are greatly outnumbered by those in the world. Unless one has the proper perspective

Three Times

I would like to believe that no matter what man does to me, I will not deny that I know Jesus. I imagine that is how Peter must have felt at one time too. However, Jesus knew better. Before His crucifixion, Jesus explained to Simon Peter, “…behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he

Christ, Our Life

I am deeply concerned that some do not understand the dedication that it takes to be a faithful servant of Christ. It is the Lord, Who said, “…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). Self-denial is an absolute necessity for

Risen With Christ

Once an individual obeys the Gospel, he is added by the Lord to His church (Acts 2:47). It is at that point that the man’s life is forever changed. Yes, he enjoys all of the spiritual blessings that are in Christ, but there is more to the life of a child of God (Eph. 1:3).

When God Shuts The Door

At different times, I, and others, have prayed to the Father for “doors” to be opened so that good works can be done. Through His providence, God has done just that over the years. However, we need to realize that the same God Who opens those “doors” is the same God Who can shut “doors”
