    Satan deals in FEAR, which someone has said was an acronym for: False Evidence Appearing Real!

    Bernstein once was asked which instrument was the most difficult to play. He said, "The second fiddle. I can get plenty of first violinists, but to find someone who can play the second fiddle with enthusiasm--that's a problem."

    In Hebrews 12:1–3. we see various aspects of the race, as they are compared to the faithful life in Christ. Christ calls us to 1) Race Freely (Hebrews 12:1), 2) Race Focused (Hebrews 12:2), and 3) Race to the Finish (Hebrews 12:3)

    In the ancient Isthmian games of Greece, a pedestal stood at the finish line, and on it hung a wreath—the winner’s prize. No one runs a race without some expectation of reward. The reward may be nothing more than a ribbon or a trophy or a wreath of leaves. It may be a prize worth a ...read more

    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

    Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

    We,like Nicodemus, must gaze at that the uplifted Christ if we would be drawn to him and have the promise of "eternal life."

    THE LIFTED UP CHRIST John 3:9-15 We were recently discussing I Corinthians 1:23- “We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks.” Our lesson today may be the beginning of that attitude of Jews in regard to Jesus.

    There is no doubt that the early church needed a wake-up call. So Peter was chosen to get it, and to be the point man for the inclusion of the Gentiles into the church of Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 10:9-23 Intro: It’s amazing how often in Scripture God’s entire plan hangs on one person. 1. Noah chosen to build the ark 2. Abraham called to believe. 3. Joseph tested and approved. 4. Jesus, the perfect sacrifice for sins 5. Now Peter, being challenged to turn from his ...read more

    God has given us everything to face this life with the joy of His presence and promises. Living in Joy comes no more naturally than not murmuring or grumbling. God offers us joy it is up to us to live in joy and peace.

    Our prayers today are so much about ourselves and with time we have lost that much needed touch with God. It has become more of a routine or duty. But it is time we turn to God, seek Him with our whole heart and return to the everlasting spring leaving behind the traditions!

    Call and look unto the Lord We read in Psalm 91:2, I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." (GW) As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, if we were to take a moment to analyze our prayers, we would be surprised to know that most of them are ...read more
