“Delighting in the Lord”
“The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will […]

“The God of the Impossible” Chuck Swindoll
Genesis 18:1-14; Matthew 19:26 GOD IS FULL of surprises. To use baseball jargon, about the time we expect one “low and inside,” He throws one at us “high and outside.” We expect Him to do one thing, and He does another. We anticipate His movement in this direction, but He goes off in that direction. […]

“Standing in the Gap”
In Ezekiel 22:30, we read of God saying “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” Here we have a picture of an individual standing in the […]
“Doubting God”
Have you ever found yourself questioning or doubting the goodness of God? It is a slick trick that Satan has been using since the beginning of time as we know it. Listen to this – in Genesis 3:1 (NLT) we read, “The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. […]
