What is most important in your life? As Christians, it should not take us that long to answer this question. Our immediate response should be God. Doing God’s will and pleasing Him should be at the top of our priority list. That was first on the list of our Savior, and we should strive to […]
What are you doing for Christ and His cause? I have often pointed out that the religion of our Lord is a doing religion, and there are many passages to back up that sentiment. James 1:22 (ESV) 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James’ teaching on doing in […]
Knowledge is power. That is what they say in the world of academia. However, we can say the same thing spiritually. The knowledge of God’s Word is a great tool in the hands of a Christian. How well do you know God and His Word? The more you learn from God’s Word, the more equipped […]
Sin is repulsive. It was sin that made it necessary for God to go to extreme measures to redeem mankind. God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3) The conquering of sin, however, required more than the manifestation of God’s Son in the flesh. Jesus […]
What a great benefit it is to have God’s Word. When we consider not only the advantage we have due to it (Romans 3:1-2) but also the huge sacrifices that so many made through the years so that we might have access to it, we should be very protective of it. Paul was. Philippians 1:15-17 […]

When it comes to greatness, majesty, glory, and power, there is no one like God. He stands apart from everyone and everything. 1 Samuel 2:2 (ESV) 2 “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Who besides God could have created the heavens […]
Christianity is a call to stewardship. As Christians, we are all stewards of God. A steward watches over and cares for the property and/or household of another. The fact that God has placed us in this role shows the trust and confidence He has in us. The question is what kind of stewards are we? […]
There are some things that God simply will not tolerate—pride is one of those things. James 4:6 (ESV) 6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Haughty eyes are one of the seven things that Solomon said God hates (Proverbs 6:17), and we should […]
Everyone is a servant. Paul said, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” We are all either servants of sin or obedience. To be a servant of sin is to be under […]
