Devotions
A Gift of Honor
“If the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what he does not have” (2 Cor 8:12 NIV). In God’s economy, giving equals receiving. Seeds planted bring a harvest. All of us who’ve studied what...
Jesus, My Savior
“And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 NASB) Jesus is the One who saves us. He is the fulfillment of all the requirements and the provider of...
The Mercy of Healing
The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. (Ps. 103:8) In Psalm 103, we see again that David believed that the mercy of healing was as universal a privilege as the mercy of forgiveness. He calls upon his soul to bless God. He said,...
Walk in Agreement With God
“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). I like walking with God. I want to walk with Him. He’s my heavenly Father. Remember, Adam walked and talked with Him in the cool of the day. That’s the fellowship the first Adam had...
Don’t Give Up
“Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen…, who also were in Christ before me” (Rom. 16:7 NKJ). Three times in this chapter Paul makes mention of his relatives. In this verse it is Andronicus and Junta (most likely a husband-and-wife team in...
Tithing is a Quality Decision
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive...
The Hidden Man
“But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price” (1 Peter 3:4). “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man...
When Tough Times Come
“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied” (Acts 9:31). There are times when life on this earth is hard and...
An Attempt to Intimidate You
When Nehemiah began to restore the walls of Jerusalem, his enemies didn’t sit in silence. In fact, they flew into a rage, mocking and accusing Nehemiah as they tried to hinder the work. They jeered, “…What does this bunch of poor, feeble Jews think they are doing?...
The Fruit vs. The Flesh
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Rom. 8:14 KJV). The Holy Spirit pulls out each one of the fruit of the spirit when the flesh wants to go in the opposite direction. The flesh wants to fight, and the fruit of love...
