Will is the whole man active. I cannot give up my will; I must exercise it. I must will to obey. When God gives a command or a vision of truth, it is never a question of what He will do, but what we will do. To be successful in God’s work is to fall in line with His will and to do it His way. All

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. I once read a news story about a lawsuit in Tennessee. It seems that an evangelist was being sued for $1 million by a woman who claimed the evangelist-healer tried to punch a demon out of her stomach. The punch knocked the lady over onto another woman whose

Persistence is an important factor in prayer. But persistence is a valuable commodity for every area of your Christian life, not just prayer. God blesses those who persist. So whatever you may be facing right now, don’t give up! If you’re ever tempted to give up, just remember the composer Brahms.

God’s Faithfulness:
He never falls asleep on watch. I served in the US Army during Vietnam. I have to admit that even in the midst of a war zone, when it was my turn to stand guard duty there were times when my eyes were so heavy I was tempted to take a quick nap. God is not like

First consider what we should not do. Imagine that you made the trip and paid the price to go to a professional football game. Now, imagine that instead of playing the game, for the entire time the teams just had huddles. That isn’t what you paid for, you want to see some action. But we as a

Do you remember going to the circus. My favorite part of the circus was watching the acrobats. How they flew twisting and turning into the air. It is an amazing sight of beauty. Yet if you notice below the high wire act there is a net. It is not their for looks but is their for protection. That net

If you’ve ever made the journey from Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, you see this immediately. The whole area is desert, and any drop of water that falls on that desert is immediately swallowed up by the volcanic sand and the sparse vegetation. Ezekiel sees the grace of God flowing from the Temple of

The Stage of Life
The world is as a stage,
Humans merely play their part.
They have an appointed entrance
and a time they shall depart.
In life, a person fulfills roles

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Quickly, God was faced with a class action suit for failure to file an environmental impact statement. God was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with the “cease and desist” order for the earthly part. Then God said,
