The Goodness of God (God Is Good)

by Don Wright

In Psalm 118, the Psalmist makes a simple yet profound statement. Psalm 118:1 (ESV) 1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! These words are repeated in ver. 29 of the same Psalm, and then again in Psalms 106:1.  Similar words are found in Psalm 100. Psalm […]

New Testament Worship (Communion)

by Don Wright

In Acts 20, we read of the church at Troas assembling to worship God on the first day of the week. Acts 20:7 (ESV) 7 On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his […]

New Testament Worship (Giving)

by Don Wright

Giving to God is an act of worship.   It is a part of what we are commanded to do when worshiping God on the first day of the week.  Listen to the instructions that Paul gave to the saints at Corinth. 1 Corinthians 16:2 (ESV) 2 On the first day of every week, each of […]

New Testament Worship (Studying)

by Don Wright

Do you realize how blessed we are to have the written Word of God?  I know you probably do, but, as we discovered in last week’s blogs, it is easy to take it for granted.  To be able to study God’s Word almost whenever we want makes spiritual growth very attainable.  In fact, with such […]

New Testament Worship (Praying)

by Don Wright

Of all of the creation of God, only man can worship.  Sadly, throughout the history of mankind, only a few have decided to do so.  Instead, the majority of mankind has turned to other things to worship.  Concerning man, Paul once said, “they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served […]

New Testament Worship (Singing)

by Don Wright

To worship God is to pay homage to Him.  God certainly deserves our respect and adoration through worship, and He desires that we do so because He created us.  Jesus said, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father […]

Things We Take for Granted

by Don Wright

It is very easy to take things for granted.  The truth is, most people take many things for granted.  We often take our physical possessions for granted because we are so used to having them.  Things such as food, clothes, and shelter.  We must learn not to take even these things of temporal value for […]

Things We Take for Granted

by Don Wright

The body of Christ is too often taken for granted.  We should be thankful for it every day. Colossians 3:15 (ESV) 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. The church is a part of God’s eternal purpose. Ephesians 3:10–11 […]

Things We Take for Granted

by Don Wright

Let’s think about something else we take for granted too often.  In this case, it is not a thing but a person.  We too often take the Holy Spirit for granted. A lot of love is shown to the Father and the Son, but the Holy Spirit is often overlooked.  In your prayers, I am […]
