He Will Complete It
“He Who started a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.” When God gives us a dream or a vision, what do we do with it? When God speaks to us in various ways through out our lives and gives us direction, how do we handle it? The problem I want…

Absence or Presence
“But you shall receive power!” There are times in our lives when we are on the mountain ,and there’s times when were in the Valley. There’s times when we’re soaring high, and times when we’re laying in the pit. Life is full of ups and downs, and ins and outs. There are times when we feel full of God’s…

Sheepfold is the Church
“I am the door: if anyone enters through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” John chapter 10 is the parable of the good shepherd. In this parable Jesus talks about the sheep fold, which I believe is the present day church. The church is the imperfect representation of…

The Kingdom!
The “Kingdom of Heaven” is much more than people think. I believe that the kingdom and the church are two different entities. The church of Jesus is the imperfect representation of the “Kingdom of Heaven” on this earth. The church is where He is ushering in the Kingdom that will be completed at His second…

Wiser than Enemies
“Thy commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever mine.” Some people think they are smarter than anyone else. Some people will constantly tell you what to do, and then, if you don’t do it, they get furious with you. Some will break relationships with you because you’re just not smart enough…

Do They Know Jesus?
Jesus ask, “who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “some say John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, but still others, Jeremiah one of the prophets.” The problem with most of us today is that when we hear someone say ,” they must all be told about Jesus,” we automatically…

He Who Believes
“He who believes in the Has Eternal Life: but He Who Does Not Obey the Son Shall Not See Life, but the Wrath of God Abides on Him.” The love of God is crucial in our lives. We know so many scriptures about His love, but if we concentrate on just His love, we’ll miss a…

What Are You Devoted To?
“But we will devote ourselves to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.” The early disciples devoted themselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. I wonder how many of us have the same kind of lifestyle? We get so caught up sometimes in programs and things that draw people into the…

Discontinued
“Come to me all that are burdened and heavy ladened and I will refresh you.” Today I start back on my secular job at a local college. I went online to check student rosters for the day and something very interesting flashed on the screen, “Discontinued due to inactivity.” It is, of course, the beginning…

Our Knowledge Redefines
“These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion.” We read in the word of God that, “in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” What if we believe this to a point but only as far as it suits us, or, justifies what we want?…
