FAITH IN GOD

HEBREW 11:6 What is faith in God? Is it the potential to move mountains? Is it the wherewithal to curse a tree and see it dry up right away? Is it to speak something into existence and see it appear immediately? While all these things certainly prove the power of God, faith is also simply … [Read more…]

THE PAINKILLER

2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9. From time to time we feel pain, deep hurt, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Some times we try to deny or suppress such feelings. Pain is the place where we can always meet genuinely with God. He knows where we are, who or what has hurt us, and why. We cannot hide anything from God. It … [Read more…]

COMFORT TO THE SOUL

PSALM 94:19 Anxiety is the body’s natural response to emotional or physical tension. It is a feeling of fear or apprehension about what is to come. The first day at work, going to a job interview, or speaking to a crowd may cause most people to feel fearful and nervous. If your feelings of anxiety are … [Read more…]

NO PLACE

EPHESIANS 4:27 As the Coronavirus restrictions and observance of safety measures persists, we find ourselves experiencing episodes of moodiness and anxiety where we had been calm and corporative. We are beginning to get fed up. When are things going back to normal? Certainly, previous generations have had to deal with serious pressures without falling apart – … [Read more…]

So, out of all His masterpieces throughout all time and creation, what do you suppose He is most proud of? What … [Read more…]

LONELINESS

PSALM 68:4-6 One TV talk show host claims that loneliness is the greatest problem in our society – not poverty, not homelessness, not drugs, not crime, but just plain loneliness, that achy feeling of not being connected closely to someone. Loneliness is what we feel when we are isolated from others. Loneliness often has less to … [Read more…]

OBEDIENCE BRINGS GOD’S BLESSINGS

LUKE 5:5 Jesus had used the boat of Peter to preach to the crowd and He asked him to throw his net for a catch. For any experienced fisherman, it was not the right time to fish, and you can be sure that the activities around the river would have chased the fish from that … [Read more…]

HONOURABLES

ROMANS 12:10B Paul’s second command in Romans 12:10 urges us to compete, in a sense. We are told to outdo one another in showing honour to each other. If each of us acted on this, every person in the body of Christ would always feel deeply appreciated by others. We would be motivated to continue … [Read more…]

ENDLESS LOVE

PSALM 63:3-5 Real love is something we cannot measure. The love God has for us is beyond numbers and cannot be tallied. When God promised to bless Abraham with countless children, He used the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore as a metaphor. These are things people simply cannot count. Paul … [Read more…]
