God’s people live on promises and not on explanations. When you trust God’s promises and step out by faith (v. 3), you can be sure that the Lord will give you the directions you need when you need the...
God’s love is unconditional, and salvation is a free gift from God that can only be received by faith and responded to with love.
God’s chosen servants must expect opposition and misunderstanding, because that’s part of what it means to be a leader; and leaders must know how to get alone with God, pour out their hearts, and seek...
God’s call to real worship, to an experience of transformation, is a call to dangerous and costly Christian living.
God wants us to do His will from our hearts (Eph. 6:6). If our heart is wrong toward God, our entire life will be wrong, no matter how successful we may appear to others.
God listens to us, so we listen to others. God forgives us, so we forgive others. Whether we feel like it or not, we act toward others as Jesus would have acted.
God doesn’t want us to ignore the past; the past should be a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.
God doesn’t give his counsel to the curious or the careless; he reveals his will to the concerned and the consecrated. Some believers take the attitude, I’ll ask God what he wants me to do, and if I l...
Faith in God’s promises is the only way to find peace in the midst of trouble. You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You (26:3 NKJV).

You, as a church member, can assist your pastor in the preaching of the Word by praying for him. Never say to your pastor, Well, the least I can do is to pray for you. The most you can do is to pray!...
You may think that you are insignificant in the great plan of God, but you are not. You are tremendously important to God—so much so that Jesus died for you, and the Holy Spirit lives in you. You may...
You feel like quitting, like giving up. You can’t understand why the road doesn’t get easier, why God doesn’t remove the stones and straighten the path. If God did that, you might never get to the top...
Would that life were like the shadow cast by a wall or a tree, says the Talmud, but it is like the shadow of a bird in flight. Trying to clutch the past to our hearts is as futile as trying to embrace...
