Having God’s Word is a blessing we too often take for granted. The Bible is the greatest book that has ever been written, for while it was penned by the hands of men, God is its true Author. Its contents come directly from the mind of God 2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) 16 All Scripture is […]
In Acts 13 David received a great compliment. God says that David was a man after His own heart (Acts 13:21-22). Wouldn’t it be wonderful to receive such a compliment? The truth is, it is within our power. We can be the kind of Christians that are men and women after God’s own heart. In […]
I once heard of a young man who had a lifelong dream to play for Iowa’s college football team. He received a scholarship to the college, but he was then diagnosed with cancer and was told that it is highly unlikely that he would ever put on a uniform for the football team. Being a […]

While teenagers can be extremely thoughtful and caring, they can also be willful and rebellious. Well-behaved teenagers are extremely impressive, but a teenager on a rampage can be difficult to handle. One thing […]
We have seen this week that our homes are under satanic attack. The devil knows that if he can wreck our homes by destroying our families, ruining our marriages, and corrupting our children, he is going to hurt the cause of Christ and cause many souls to be lost. Sadly, he has won battles in […]

Proverbs 12:4 (ESV) 4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband… Proverbs 18:22 (ESV) 22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. Husbands, you should love and respect your wives, and treat them like the crown […]
