Do You Listen From God?

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 16, 2026

The Bible starts with a speaking God. The shapeless, hopeless, dark earth became live, beautiful and fruitful even the Holy God could say, it was good!. When someone responds to God in faith and in obedience supernatural things would happen!. Truly a transformation takes place!

Tempted

Contributed by James Jerpseth on Mar 3, 2001

Having grown up in hte desert, I know how harsh the place is and how tempting the options presented by hte devil really are. On the surface the temptations seem harmless and perhaps even good in the right hands but they all take our attention off God.

I’ve been camping many times in the Anza Berrego wilderness and understand that the desert is a harsh and foreboding place. I know to stay on the trails, look for snakes and take lots of extra water.

Taming The Tongue

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Mar 26, 2001

James informs us of these important truths: 1. The tongue is not easily controlled. 2. I allow God to control my tongue, or it controls me. 3.The tongue can be used for good or evil. 4. What I say is a reflection of who I am.

James says, “No man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness” (James 3:8-9). James includes himself as one having this problem, for he says that “no man can ...read more
