An Act of Courage
"Only be thou strong and very courageous" (Josh. 1:7). Do you know that obeying the Word is an act of courage? It really is, because when you obey the Word and believe God in a situation, you're swimming upstream. You're going against the current of the world....
Rivers in a Dry Land
And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every...
God’s Promises Are Pure
Psalm 12:6 (NLT) The Lord’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. The Bible is full of God’s promises for our lives. Yet it is sad to see that humanity in general doesn’t enjoy the full blessings of God....

"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth" (Gen. 1:28). The...
Rely on the Lord
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord" (Ps. 112:7). Out of our twentieth-century culture there has come a familiar expression, "getting a fix." This term usually refers to taking drugs. Because of his dependency upon...
