One of the most remarkable aspects of God’s creation of man is that He made man in His own image. We are of the God kind. God’s will gave us a will. Without a will we would not be made in His image. For it is God which worketh in you both to will andContinueContinue reading “What will you will?”

Are you Thirsty?
There is something about water that attracts us. The beauty of large bodies of still water, the sound of rushing water in a creek or brook, or the mesmerizing sight of the ocean’s waves as they run to the shore cause most of us to stop, gaze, listen and ponder. Water is fundamental to lifeContinueContinue reading “Are you Thirsty?”
Which side of the cross are you living on?
Get on the right side of the cross! Until we fully understand the “new creation,” we will miss out on the riches of righteousness by faith, and our inheritance in Christ. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13) God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power,ContinueContinue reading “Which side of the cross are you living on?”
The Power Of Love
Every human need is met in God’s love. Redemption is an act of His love. The new creation is an act of His love. Healing is an act of Love. Our authority over the enemy is an act of Love. Grace for every need is His love. The Truth that sets us free is Love.ContinueContinue reading “The Power Of Love”
Mental Health
It seems painfully obvious that there is an epidemic of mental distress in our society. The pressures of the world can overwhelm the senses and captivate the thought life. Can we expect mental health in the world in which we live? How can we define mental health? Perfect peace comes to mind. Peace is definedContinueContinue reading “Mental Health”
Better than Vitamins
”strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power” (Col. 1:11) In Colossians 1:9-11, Paul prays for the Colossian believers and desires at one point that they be ‘strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power.’ When you look at some of these words in the Greek, it really is amazing what Paul wasContinueContinue reading “Better than Vitamins”
This is Solid Truth
I like the following passage because it is so rich with descriptive language and liberating truth. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing ofContinueContinue reading “This is Solid Truth”
Which ‘it is finished’ do you prefer?
The saying ‘it is finished’ appears twice in the New Testament. The first appearance is the declaration of Jesus referring to the fulfillment of the Law, the destruction of the power of sin, sickness and the power of the devil, and the opening of the door for God to live in men. When Jesus thereforeContinueContinue reading “Which ‘it is finished’ do you prefer?”
Healing in Redemption
Our redemption was accomplished two thousand years ago and all of the benefits of that redemption became available at that time for all who believe. We have been freed from the power of sin and all of its manifestations, including sickness. We can find God’s heart to see His people healed in many scriptures inContinueContinue reading “Healing in Redemption”
Is the Bible God’s Word?
There is a growing movement in some Christian circles to establish the Bible as fallible and only an imperfect guide to knowing God and Jesus. The reasons are clear. The Bible gets in the way of the Jesus or Father they have imagined. Nevertheless, Jesus had complete confidence and faith in the Old Testament andContinueContinue reading “Is the Bible God’s Word?”
