Everyone has times when they like to sit back and think about all the things going on around them. Sometimes it's really hard to find the time, but when those times do come along, I find them very refreshing. Recently I had one of those times. I took a cup of hot...
As Christians we need to be in agreement. We must be in agreement with God. We must be in agreement with the Word, and we must be in agreement with each other. In Matthew 18:19, Jesus said, "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything...
Hebrews 10:35 says, "Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward." Confidence is a part of faith. If we have faith, we have confidence. First John 2:28 says, "And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have...
Lazy people get spitting mad when they hear that the only way you can receive from God is to take in the Word of God for yourself. We must take the Word of God, which is Jesus. We must take the Word of God, which is the Messiah. We must take the Word of God, which...
Hebrews 11:1-3 says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not...

Last week I was talking to a man who was really stressed out. He was concerned about his past and worried about his future. Every word out of his mouth was negative. Everything in his life worried him. The bad things worried him because they were bad. And the good...
When we are born again, we are born righteous. We are made righteous and we work toward holiness. Being righteous gives us the right to stand before God. When we get saved (born again), we are entitled to go to God, stand in the presence of the Father in the name...
We need to develop a relationship with God. We must have prayer and study and conversation with Him so we can say the things He says. Anytime you have a poor confession, anytime you say something that is contrary to the Word of God, you are calling God a liar....
"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life" (John 6:63). What keeps our words from being spirit and life like the words Jesus spoke? Would you like to know the answer to that? One...
There are two plans for your life. God has a plan, which is abundant life, and Satan has a plan, which includes defeat. These two plans are diametrically opposed to each other. Notice the contrast in John 10:10 where Jesus said, "The thief does not come except to...
