The Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 6:20 wrote – “For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which is God’s.” Consider how the Apostle Paul saw himself – Romans 1:1 “Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of […]

“The God Who Knows Us”
There isn’t anything about any one of us that is hidden from God. In Jeremiah 1:4-5 the prophet wrote, “The LORD gave me this message: “I knew you before I set you apart and appointed you as thy prophet to the nations.’” First of all, I urge you to note that it was God who […]
“God Calls Us to Be Holy”
The first five books of the Old Testament are called the Pentateuch and were written by Moses under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. It is interesting to consider the focus of each book. For example – 1. In Genesis we see the ruin of mankind because of sin. 2. In Exodus we see God redeeming His […]
“Giving as an Expression of Worship”
In Corinthians 9:6-15, the Apostle Paul talks about the attitude of giving and the blessings that come to us when we give with the right spirit. I love what Warren Wiersbe has to say based on verses 7-8, “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for […]
“Strength for Each Day”
Life can be very draining. The most ordinary things can weigh us down. Recently, I tried to drop a pair of slacks off at the cleaners at 9:00 AM. They didn’t open until 10:00 AM. I tried two days later only to find the place closed on that day, due to lack of business. I […]
“Fulfilling God’s Purpose for our Lives”
I just saw Rick Warren recently promoting what I believe is a new book he has written entitled, “Why in The World Am I Here?” That is a good question – Why does God save us and invite us into an intimate relationship with Himself? Are we just to mark time until He sends for […]
“The Importance of Obedience”
In John 2:1-12 we read of the first miracle that Jesus accomplished as He was beginning His ministry. He and His disciples were invited to a wedding in Cana of Galilee. Cana was located about eight miles northeast of Nazareth, His hometown. We are told that his mother was also at the wedding. Weddings are […]
“Getting Things into Perspective Through Prayer”
Have you ever noticed that the higher we rise the clearer things below become? That is one of the reasons I have always enjoyed being up on a plane. Things below look so orderly and even peaceful. In Luke 9 we read of Jesus taking Peter, James, and John with Him up on a mountain […]
“Mountaintop Privileges”
In Genesis 8:1 we read “Then God remembered Noah …” I don’t know about you, but I find those words very encouraging. Just as God remembered Noah and his family in the ark, resting upon the floodwaters, He remembers you and me as well. He will never forget us. In verse 5 we read “And […]
“The National Day of Prayer”
On January 25th, 1988, the United States Congress declared the first Thursday of each May to be recognized as a National Day of Prayer. “Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, the joint resolution entitled ‘Joint Resolution to provide for setting aside […]
