What Doth The Lord Require Of Thee

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 13, 2021

God has brought a charge against His people, and the charge is the same that He brings to us today. Their religion and their worship had become nothing but emptiness and meaningless rituals. All of it had become unrelated to their character and unrelated to their daily life.

They were deeply religious. They were very faithful in performing the acts of worship, but they were empty and meaningless. They had no affect whatsoever on the character of those who worship and on their daily walk and activities. As we go through this life serving God, we need to be careful not ...read more

Who's The Boss? Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 25, 2008

The way you pray reminds you who is in charge. Before Jesus ever taught us to ask Him for anything, He tells us to recognize the One who is in charge of everything.

Years ago, when we lived in Gulfport, MS, my job was such that I had to spend a lot of time away from home. For 8 years, I averaged 300 days a year on the road. That’s a lot of nights away. Some of those were in field conditions. Some of them were in military billeting. But most of them were ...read more
