    When Christians fail to follow God's Positioning System in favor of our own, they degrade the witness of Jesus Christ leading in our own lives.

    So many times we try to follow God’s plan, we try to do what God wants us to do, BUT we try to do it in our own timing. And when we do, we rarely accomplish all that God wants us to accomplish.

    FACING OUR JERICHO Over the past three weeks, we have been studying the book of Joshua. We have found truths here that have given us great hope and comfort in the midst of our great pain. We have seen God’s hand at work, not only in the lives of the children of Israel, but we’ve seen His hand ...read more

    Most Americans work and much of their life is controlled by someone else. There certainly is nothing wrong with that. This country could not operate unless people were willing to fill the jobs that are needed.

    Some jobs require a lot from folks who apply for them. It is essential to find qualified people to fill these jobs. Illus: A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. Two men and a woman applied for this job. The day came for the final test to see which person would get ...read more

    Our righteousness comes not from our own efforts, but from the Lord Himself, and we should look forward to His promise of safety, security, and a day when all will be made right with hope and joy.

    We are called not to trust in our own strength or power, but in God.

    THE WIDOW'S MIGHT There is a sly skill that many of us practice to varying degrees. It's called name-dropping. We want to impress others with who we know, because we feel that it reflects positively on us if we move in the right circles. For ex., many years ago, my claim to fame was that I worked ...read more
