When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal. James 3:3 A vital element in learning to walk by faith and obedience is learning to talk by faith and o...
When we judge a brother’s or sister’s sin as so much worse than our own, we are like lepers counting spots. She has more than I do.
When the stakes are high, bow down low.
We're going to have to let truth scream louder to our souls than the lies that have infected us.
The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He is our life.
Our Lord Jesus does not flatter us. He lets us see our cases as they are. His searching eye perceives the bare truth of things. He is the faithful and true witness (Rev. 3:14) who deals with us accord...
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Ps. 19:14)
Life isn't fair. Not from any direction. I live in the inconceivable grace of God every day of my life. That's not fair either.
Life is just a breath. All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives.
Let this matter be settled once and for all. Know that nothing and no one, including you, can sabotage your salvation.
Jesus told him, Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him.’ Matthew 4:10

If we can come up with a God we can fully explain, we have come up with a different God from the Bible’s. We must beware of recreating an image of God that makes us feel better. Of this I’m certain: I...
If my Father says something about me, even if I cannot see it yet, I can rest assured it is so . . . and begin to put on that truth . . . and walk in it. I can no longer blame someone else for how I v...
If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints. (Ps. 52:9)
I will place My residence among you, and I will not reject you. Leviticus 26:11
How terribly we cheat ourselves when we have as much as we want from God. Although many of us have received the gift of salvation, in other ways, we are not unlike some of the Jews Paul encountered. W...
How does God’s apparent ability to drop something out of His mind like dirty clothes through a laundry chute fit into His omniscience, His infinite ability to know all things? I believe that if God’s...
How careful we must be not to think that God is less holy because others seem to get away with irreverence! We are sometimes tempted to measure our respect for God by the lack of respect surrounding u...
