Wrestling With Weakness
Hebrews chapter 11 contains some of the most faith-stirring words in the entire Bible. Notice what it says these men and women accomplished with their faith: And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and...
The Cool Of The Day
"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day..." (Gen. 3:8 NKJ). The cool of the day is around 4:00 p.m. It is the time when the evening breeze begins to stir. The Hebrew word translated cool in this verse is ruwach...
Stay in His Boat!
"But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee" (Gen. 6:18). The Word of the Lord to you now is: Stay in His boat. Then you won't be washed away by the storm. The storm...
By Thy Words
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned" (Matt. 12:37). Jesus Himself made the above statement. Words are much more important than many people realize. Do you remember Job and his three so-called "friends" who came to...

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Cor. 5:17)When we were born again, we died to our old nature. We died to our diseases. And we rose in the fullness of life, free from our sins...
Take Back What the Devil Has Stolen!
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) Years ago, while I was holding a meeting in Port Arthur, Texas, a Methodist woman came up to me and...
Pride Hinders the Grace of God
Jesus Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. He redeemed us and made us righteous. From that point on we grow in grace. "Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel...
Have a Generous Heart
Philemon 1:6 (NLT) You are generous because of your faith. And I am praying that you will really put your generosity to work, for in so doing you will come to an understanding of all the good things we can do for Christ. In this letter, Paul was asking Philemon to...
