     | 4,253 views

    The jailer’s decision was not any easy one. But despite the difficulties that lay ahead, he realized that the God who would bring him to those difficulties would also bring him through them.

    Jobs were hard to come by. He was a grown man, with a wife and children to provide for. He had been an OK farmer when they lived in the country — even managed to put away a little money for them to live on after the move to the big city. But he had no marketable skills to speak of. He wasn’t ...read more

    Asaph asks the question - is it worth following God? When you look at life from an eternal perspective, the answer is clear.

    Have you ever found yourself thinking – I wish I had what my non-Christian friends have? I wish I had the freedom they have. I wish I was able to do the things that they do without conscience getting in the way. I wish I could get up to what they get up to without feeling guilty. After all, ...read more

    A look at why Saul was rejected, but David was called a man after Gods own heart even though they both failed. It was because David, trusted God, was humble, and knew how to repent.

He testified concerning him: ’I have found David son of Jesse a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Today I want to compare the lives of two men, Saul and David.
