    God is the great weights and measures inspector who weighs men’s hearts and deeds. God expects an even balance and not a false weight.

    Job 31 1I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 2For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? 3Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? 4Doth not he see my ways, and count ...read more

    God has a view of what he expects his children to be. In His view they are a family of priest sent to represent Him in the world.

    You and Me in the world Last week we talked about vision…We tried to see vision via God’s eyes….Which I believe is not limited by the walls of a building or a membership. A church that does not have a vision that extends past the walls or the church property is held back by man made limits and ...read more

    If we expect God to use us to do the work of the kingdom, then we will have to be faithful in proclaiming the truth even in the face of opposition and ridicule.

    STANDING FIRM FOR TRUTH Why is it so difficult to face up to the truth when things aren’t going very well and to take action to make things right? We see this problem in every area of life. One particular outworking of this refusal to face up to the truth and to take proper action is in the ...read more

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

    Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more
