Keep Your Eyes on the Light
“You will do well to pay close attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dismal (squalid and dark) place, until the day breaks through the gloom and the Morning Star rises (comes into being) in your hearts” (2 Peter 1:19). Do you know what the most...
Suffering and Reigning
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us. (2 Tim. 2:12 KJV) The word “suffer” here means to stay under or to put up with trials, to have fortitude, and to endure patiently. Jesus endured a lot of uncomfortable...
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...
The God Who Never Changes
“Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:16-17). Every good and perfect gift comes from God, who...

Don’t Blame God
“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. Believe thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwells in me, he does the works” (John 14:9-10). Many of the laws that...
The Grace of Giving
“Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also” (2 Cor. 8:7). How do you give to the Lord? Do you just drop some money in the plate at...
Troubled Thoughts
If we want to experience the plan of God for our lives we must learn to master our thoughts. Far too often, we allow what others think about us to form our perspective instead of what God says. Our thoughts have a direct impact on the way we see ourselves. Proverbs...
Vivé la Difference
“If one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Eccl. 4:12). There’s power in unity. The devil knows that. That’s why he’s continually fighting it. He takes the differences between us,...
