God Has Descended Into You

Who is a Christian? I will let John G. Lake answer this question for us. “A Christian is not a reformed man. A Christian is a man renewed, remade by the Spirit of God. A Christian is a man indwelt by God, the house of God, the tabernacle of the most high! Man indwelt by […]
Don’t Bargain With God
Posted on June 8, 2016 5 Comments
Do you sometimes find yourself trying to bargain with God to get answers to your prayers? Or, perhaps, trying to find enough good in you to convince yourself God will bless you in spite of your shortcomings? I have. And even now, I find myself from time to time
Faith Made Simple

I want to receive answers to my prayers every time I pray. I know you do, too. So it’s important to understand the principle of faith that governs prayer and see how Jesus makes it possible for us to fulfill it. It’s wonderful to see how He truly supplies every need we have, especially our […]
The Mirror

You probably looked in the mirror this morning. If you liked what you saw, you did nothing. But if you saw some things that did not belong on your face, or were out of place, you had a decision to make. Leave things as they were, or change things for the better. Now, once you […]
You Won!

Feeling discouraged? Think you’ve been defeated? Seems the enemy has the upperhand? Discouragement is a common emotion. But for the child of God, it is always the result of incomplete information. A small misunderstanding can generate unnecessary anxiety. When the Battle of Waterloo was fought two-hundred years ago, the British waited with baited breath for […]
When Being Helpless Is a Good Thing

One day some parents were bringing their infant children to Jesus when His disciples stopped and scolded them for “bothering” Jesus. But Jesus rebuked His disciples, saying, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not […]
When Doing Good Is Sinful
Posted on April 27, 2016 12 Comments
Everybody knows it’s sinful to do forbidden things like cussing, gambling, and committing sexual immoral acts. We understand to do these things breaks God’s heart. That is why, in Luke 15, we find it easy to condemn the younger son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. He lived wildly and did not come […]
Who’s Afraid of Grace?
Posted on April 20, 2016 10 Comments
It boggles my mind. I am struggling to understand. What is it about grace that scares folks? I’ve actually been cautioned by ministers that “even though we know that we are totally forgiven of all our sins, we can not preach that to baby Christians because they will use that knowledge to sin. Grace is […]
Repentance Is Not A Dirty Word
Posted on April 13, 2016 1 Comment
Does the word “repent” evoke a picture of an angry God pointing a condemning finger at you and threatening you with hell if you don’t stop sinning now? Unfortunately, what religion has done is to link this gift from God, the opportunity to repent, so much with sin, wrath, and judgment that when sinners hear […]
Possess God’s Life Now!

What saves a man’s soul? What makes a Christian victorious? Not his decision to start attending church services weekly. Nor his decision to stop doing things he knows do not please the Lord. Not even his efforts to live by the Golden Rule! None of those things is enough. Men are not just bad. They […]
