The first 18 verses of Psalm 139 is one of my favorite passages of Scripture. It reveals just how intimately God knows and cares for each of His creation. Even in the womb God knew and formed us. God even knows the words we are going to speak before we speak them. God is everywhere… Continue reading Psalm 139

God’s Recurring Theme
God is Sovereign over Heaven and earth. He has not lost any authority or ability or efficacy of will. The enemy lies suggesting he has authority and that he is comparable to God. An eastern religion actually accepted this lie that Satan and God, Yen and Yang, are locked in an equal struggle neither able… Continue reading God’s Recurring Theme
Disaster Deserved
“Jesus answered, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them—do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem?” (Luke 13:2, 4) Disaster is not earned or… Continue reading Disaster Deserved
The Day of Adversity
"Consider the work of God: who can make straight what he has made crooked? In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him." Ec 7:13-14 "Shall we indeed accept… Continue reading The Day of Adversity
Accepting the Word
Most religions have professional clergy that facilitate the requirements of the religion to the common people. In Judaism the priest offered the sacrifices that covered sins. The eastern religions have priests that serve a similar role. In some Christian sects a priest is necessary to absolve sins and administer sacraments. However, the Bible teaches that… Continue reading Accepting the Word
Interview With a Believer
This is an interview with a believer who is typical, rather than ordinary, as no Believers life will be ordinary due to the supernatural influence of the Almighty God. I put brackets around my questions to distinguish them from the responses. [Your story is somewhat unique in that you never seemed to go through a… Continue reading Interview With a Believer
The Sovereignty of God Over Salvation
"These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, 'Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans; but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.' " (Matt. 10:5-6). In "The Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer the author points out that all… Continue reading The Sovereignty of God Over Salvation
Glorify God in Your Trials
We all sometimes wonder why God allows trials to come into the lives of Christians such as death of loved ones, poor health, loss of jobs or positions, or unhappy family situations. We understand that we are just passing through this life and Heaven is our ultimate destination but why cannot this life be at… Continue reading Glorify God in Your Trials
The Just Shall Live By Faith
In Zephaniah 1:12 a pronouncement is given upon those who are settled in complacency, who say in their heart, "The Lord will not do good, nor will he do evil". This is an appropriate scripture for today as people, even those who believe in God, become complacent looking at and caught up in the world… Continue reading The Just Shall Live By Faith
Keep The Faith
From my youth I knew God, having a child's faith that there was a God in heaven who had made the world and everything in it. From that time God has drawn me closer to him and given me more revelation of Him, mostly through His word, the Bible, but all proceeding from His Holy… Continue reading Keep The Faith
Don’t Boast of Victory if You Haven’t Won the War
In the news and other media outlets, we are fed a daily dose of victorious boasts by radical Islamists and other unbelievers against Christians. Moreover, current and future "victories" in the political arena by anti-Bible activists on social issues against religious liberties are loudly trumpeted. These bullying tactics remind me of a premature boasting by… Continue reading Don’t Boast of Victory if You Haven’t Won the War
God’s Care Sovereign and Particular
To fear God, and to stand in awe of his justice; to trust and depend on him in all conditions; to submit patiently to his will under all afflictions; to pray to him for the supply of our wants, for the relief of our sufferings, for protection and defense; to love and praise him for… Continue reading God’s Care Sovereign and Particular
