Greetings, It’s impossible to overemphasize the influence a family altar could have upon the members of your family. If parents truly knew Christ and were intimately acquainted with His love and beauty, they would have no greater desire than for their children to personally know Him as they do.  The best way to ensure that this happens is to introduce them to the Lord at a very young age. Listen to Paul’s […]

Greetings, Have you ever tried to do something that was very easy to do, but someone keeps getting in your way by trying to tell you what to do? I wonder how often we get in God’s way by repeatedly telling Him how we think it should be done? So, God patiently waits until we grow tired of trying to fix things ourselves. He stands back and does nothing until

Greetings, Zechariah 1:3 (NKJV) – “Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the LORD of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts.” Israel was in big trouble! They had turned away from God and their glorious future and had been reduced to slavery under the Babylonians and the Medo-Persians.  As the philosopher

Greetings, Question: if we humans would sincerely seek to please God, would such things as racism, hate, envy, cruelty, violence, war, selfishness and other problems even exist?  Think about this: if two people, beginning miles apart, will lift up Christ and draw near to Him, it’s much like moving from the two bottom corners of a triangle toward the apex. Even if they begin miles apart,

Greetings, Have you ever wanted God to guide and show you the correct path when you’re making an important decision? Life is filled with so many options and choices, it’s easy to take the wrong path. Unfortunately, that can keep us from moving forward on life’s journey. But notice what God has promised to those who seek His direction: Isaiah 42:16 (NKJV) – “I will bring the blind by a way they did not

Greetings, Sometimes the enemy rejoices too soon. It’s much like the last few seconds of the Super Bowl and your team is trailing by 5 points, while the opposing team has already begun to celebrate.  But wait….! Suddenly, out of nowhere, a pass comes sailing across the field to a receiver who is waiting, all by himself. Touch down!!  There is no flag on the

Greetings, I often meet people who want to know more about intimate worship. Since this type of worship precedes transformation, it should become an earnest, sincere desire of every believer.    One of the best ways to enter into God’s Presence is not to speak or sing about Him, but directly to Him. David said that we should enter into His gates with thanksgiving, which would be an

Greetings,  Has God ever surprised you with an unexpected blessing? Isaiah 41:17-18 (NKJV) – “The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, Their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them. [18] I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make

Greetings, In times of great concern and uncertainty, is it even rational for a believer not to have some degree of fear? Is it wise to refuse to cower before our enemy or suffer a panic attack like those in the world? Some would argue that it is foolhardy not to be afraid. Listen to what God has to say: Isaiah 41:10 (NKJV) – “FEAR NOT, for I

Greetings, King Sennacherib sent a threatening letter to Hezekiah, king of Judah. Have you ever felt as though the enemy was sending you a ‘warning letter’? He loves to frighten us so that we will submit to his plans to destroy our faith. But notice what Hezekiah did with his letter from the enemy: Isaiah 37:14-15, 17 (NKJV) – “And Hezekiah received the letter from the
