Getting Saved
on May 8th, 2023
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”(John 14:6-7) As a child, I grew up in church and learned to memorize Scripture before I gave my life to Christ. Little did I know that my choice to memorize Scripture would play a major part... Read More

Trust God with Your Finances
on May 7th, 2023
One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. (Proverbs 11:24) Years ago, I pastored a church in Houston. We had a family in our church; they were going through a disastrous financial time. They were upside down financially. His business had failed, and he was having a difficult time. They tried to do all kinds of maneuvering to get out o... Read More

Qualities of a Church
on May 6th, 2023
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

Today, we will continue that list and discuss a few more important qualities to consider when looking for a... Read More

Looking for a Church
on May 5th, 2023
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25) If you are in the process of looking for a church home, there are several things you should consider. We will spend two days covering the qualities of a True Church. Fi...

Jesus Is the Only Way
on May 4th, 2023
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6) Over and over again in Scripture, Jesus describes the exclusive way for us to get to the Father. That way is through Jesus Christ and Jesus alone; there is no other way. Jesus makes this very clear when He says, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father e... Read More

Jesus Wants You
on May 3rd, 2023
In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your righteousness. Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me. Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my refuge. Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me,... Read More

Trust God’s Plan
on May 2nd, 2023
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. (2 Corinthians 1:3-5) ... Read More

Awakenings and Public Prayer
on May 1st, 2023
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. (Acts 2:42) We certainly need a Great Awakening in our country! We have to be willing to do our part to allow God to move in us and through us so that the awakening can spread. We learned that great awakenings start in our quiet times with the Lord. When these private devotions are accompan... Read More

Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off -- for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:38-39) The First Great Awakening occurred at Pentecost.

Fellowship
on April 29th, 2023
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Have you noticed that all of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances are primarily to groups? That is important; don’t miss this fact. In all of my decades of doing ministry and reading the Word, it suddenly jumped out to me that God wants to minister to His children in a group. If there was ever a... Read More

God’s Grace and Mercy
on April 28th, 2023
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:8-10) How would you answer the question, “How do I see God?” Many of us want to blame God for what is happening in the... Read More

How Does God See Me?
on April 27th, 2023
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. (Ephesians 2:13) When you look at wrath and what is to come in the end times, you have to ask yourself, “How does God see me?” When He looks at me, does He see me like those who do not know Christ? Ephesians 2 tells us that “those who do not know Christ are objects of God's wrath.” I will tell you th... Read More
