Greetings, Psalm 46:1-2 (NKJV) declares, “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. [2] Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.” Did you see that? God is very PRESENT in times of trouble. When darkness […]

Greetings, Have the odds ever seemed to be stacked against you? At times, does it seem there’s no way possible for you to succeed? While David was being pursued by Saul and his mighty army, David never forgot who his Protector was. When the Ziphites betrayed David by reporting his hiding place to King Saul,

Greetings, Today, I’m worshiping with Sipho Ngwenya and “Ebenezer.” https://youtu.be/klUgD0jhrQQ I love this song and its beautiful harmony, for which Gospel music in South Africa is noted. But, let me explain that they often use the “call and response” style of music. The words of this exuberant song come from: 1 Samuel 7:12 (NKJV) –

Greetings, What happens when God doesn’t do things the way you expected? How do you respond when you pray for a miracle, a healing, or a promotion—and it doesn’t come? Think about this scripture: Hebrews 11:39 (NKJV) – “And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise.” When that

Greetings, How do we know that God is on our side? Why can we be certain that He is for us? It’s because we’ve made it through so many difficulties that we should never have survived! People think if God’s favor is upon your life, you’ll never experience any suffering or difficulty. But that’s not

Greetings, In this season, we need for God to finish turning our hearts back to Him. I don’t believe He is responsible for this horrible virus; but I do believe He can use it to get our attention! For many years, secularism and atheism have become much more dominant in our society. Prayer and value-based

Greetings, Have these many new distresses robbed your peace of mind? Have events caused you to become worried or fearful? You know, worry kills. And scripture tells us that fear has torment. In this pandemic crisis, depression has been taking its toll. Doctors are concerned about the spike in drug abuse; the dramatic increase in

Greetings, Do you find yourself living from crisis to crisis? If so, perhaps there is a reason. Great awakenings and revivals have often been preceded by dire need and adversity. That was true with Israel, our nation and indeed, the world. Notice this verse in the Book of Psalms: Psalm 119:67 (NKJV) – “Before I

Greetings, All of God’s Word applies to each of us on our journey; but have you noticed how He can cause certain passages to come alive? Psalm 139:1 (NKJV) – “O LORD, You have searched me and known me.” Psalm 139:16 (NKJV) – “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book

Greetings, There’s no doubt about it—before this COVID-19 crisis, the passion of many believers had waned and they had become lukewarm. The average Christian was attending church only 1.7 times a month … and slipping. On average, Christians have only been giving 2.5% of their income to God, rather than the tithe. Only 32% of
