     | 849 views

    Nicodemus comes to Jesus under the cloak of evening to ask some very important questions that lead to life. His questions mirror many of our own .

    Today’s passage is a remarkable dialogue between our Lord Jesus and a key leader among the religious higher-ups, who, generally speaking, were very hostile to Jesus. Nicodemus had a different response though to Jesus, he had a different spirit about him. He took his role of spiritual leadership ...read more

     | 3,239 views

    There are souls who seek to explain away what God has done before them, even though they have seen His work with their own eyes. This text reminds us of how Peter dealt with those situations and thus we are encouraged by his actions.

    Don't Walk Away From An Answered Prayer

    We tend to pray for the salvation of someone we know, or for a job, or for the return of the LORD, or some other issue, and He answers it in a way that either we don't expect or like. Let's not forget that God is in charge. His will overrides our ideals.

    I want to share with you an insight that the LORD impressed upon me pertaining to prayer and how the LORD graciously answers our petitions and requests presented before Him. You are probably familiar with the saying that He answers our prayers three ways: Either "Yes", "No", ...read more
