Friendships
At my age it would be easier for me to live an isolated life — just me, myself, and I. But the truth is: I’m a friendly person. I like to make and keep friends, because as the Bible says, friends sharpen each other (Proverbs 27:17). In order to keep friends, we need to stay…
Thankfulness
I give thanks to God today as my way of letting Him know that I trust Him and love Him supremely. We trust His perfect plan for our lives, and we know without a doubt that He is working all things for our good. Last year again has been an interesting year to say the…
Supernatural Circumcision
Under the Old Covenant, the Lord required physical circumcision. “From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised on the eighth day after his birth“ ~~ Genesis 17:12. Under God’s New Covenant with us, the Apostle Paul wrote “When you came to Christ, you were ‘circumcised,’ but not by a physical…
The Anchor for our Lives
Is your life anchored firmly in Christ? Remember these hymns? “My anchor holds and grips the solid Rock. This Rock is Jesus, yes, He’s the One. This Rock is Jesus, the only One. Be very sure. Be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid Rock.” “We have an anchor that keeps the soul…
God’s Precious Promise
“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the LORD, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” ~~ Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified). GOD has a definite and wonderful plan for you! He’s not clueless about you. You’re not a…
Who is Jesus Christ?
Jesus and Christ have separate meanings. Christ is the preexisting second person of the trinity, God the Son. The word “Christ” used in the Bible places emphasis upon His Deity and Eternal Godhead. “Jesus” signifies His humanity. We pray, in the Name of Jesus as we recognize Him as the perfect sacrifice for sin, sickness,…
It’s Such a Joy to Do the Will of God
Jesus taught: “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work” ~~ John 4:34. The greatest joy in life is to do what God created and called us to do. And every chapter of our lives is unique and crucial in God’s overall plan. Kathy and…
So What’s the Problem?
What people read in the Bible vs. what they experience in their present lives is often drastically different. They might ask, “Is there a breakthrough coming?” Or “What about the ‘Heroes of the Faith’ we read about in Hebrews 11? They did not receive in this life what they believed for. What gives?” The Bible…
More on “The Faith of Christ”
This is part two of a message by my friend Rev. John Fair. Since we Christians have the “Faith of Christ; and we know that “no one can come to Father God unless the Lord draws Him by His Spirit,” after receiving salvation what is important is that we “Trust in, Cling to, and Rely…
Longing For Heaven?
So many Christians think that the whole thing about “receiving Jesus as your Savior” is so that when you die, you go to Heaven. And sure, that’s a part of it, because Jesus did say that He is preparing our home for us for when we die to be with Him in Heaven. But the…
Replacement, Not Improvement
Pastor John Fair says that “Jesus didn’t come to earth to simply improve our lives…. He came to replace our lives. We are an entirely new creation in Christ. Christianity is a life-exchange. We give Him our lives so He might live His life through us. Now His miracle life on the inside of us…
Be Grateful
We Christians are so blessed. We have access to the Word of God. God’s Holy Spirit lives within us. The Heavenly Father has deemed us to be righteous and has adopted us into His family. And we know that every promise of God to us is true! Even the Apostle Paul says “And my God…
The Valley of Decision
Are you in the “valley of decision” today? Have you been asking God “What should I do? Where should I look for work? What will the next chapter of my life look like? What is my purpose in life?” So many questions — so many seeking answers and wanting God’s best for their lives. Matthew…
The Fourth Quarter
ORU’s former business professor Dr Henry Migliore wrote a book on living in the 4th quarter of our lives. Games are won or lost depending upon our drive to succeed after middle age. Many of us are in this 4th quarter of life. Yet inside we feel like we are still young and have all the…
When God Shuffles the Deck
Recently God has been busy shuffling my card deck (or so it would seem). For a long time, I couldn’t figure out what He was up to, but I figured, “Hey, He’s God! He knows what He’s doing, so I’ll just continue to trust Him.” (I’ve seen what happens when I try to do my…
