Stand Together
on August 19th, 2024
I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me.

(Revelation 1:12-13)In the Book of Revelation, John describes seeing the Lord standing in the midst of seven golden lampstands. When you read that, you... Read More

Seek Godly Wisdom

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. (James 1:5)Do you know where you get wisdom? From the Word of God.

Taking the Time To Bless
on August 17th, 2024
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. (3 John 1:2-4) The last of John’s short letters provides... Read More

Living in Denial
on August 15th, 2024

(Matthew 26:73-74) Judas betrayed Jesus once, but Simon Peter denied Jesus three times publicly! That statement is not meant to minimize the horrific thing Juda... Read More

How To Start Reading Your Bible
on August 12th, 2024
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)The Bible is alive for you today. If you haven't experienced that, you need to spend time alone with God. As you are hungry to hear His voice, just breathe a simple prayer, “Jesus,...

Counterfeit Teaching
on August 10th, 2024
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. (Hebrews 5:14) We are very susceptible to counterfeit preaching and teaching from the Word of God today. It is amazing to me how large numbers of people embrace churches whose preaching and teaching are a mile wide and an inch deep! There is a lack of ... Read More

Salvation Is Simple
on August 9th, 2024
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answer... Read More

Focus on the Giver
on August 8th, 2024
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. (John 1:6-8) Because He is so gracious, compassionate, and kind, God gave us many gifts to help us grow and mature in our walk with Him. He gave us the local church so we could belong ... Read More

Have You Met Christ?
on August 7th, 2024
But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. (Revelation 21:27) Let me tell you the story of Benson Cameron. Benson was an 80-year-old deacon in my first pastorate. He was half blind (actually, three quarters blind).
