It’s Always the Same Answer!
Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” One of the symptoms of the sin that plagues the human race is that God has to command us to do things that are so obviously wonderful…

Powerful Words
Mark 4:39 “Peace! Be still!” Jesus’ words have awesome power for they come from the mouth of an awesome God. We see evidence of this in the verse above from the account of Jesus in a boat with his disciples on the Sea of Galilee during a violent storm. The disciples feared for their lives…

Glorious Commands
Philippians 4:6 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” 1 John 5:3 “And his commandments are not burdensome.” How do you view the commands of God?

Revelation 12:10-11 “And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, ‘Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the…

Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” How careful we should be to pay close attention to the individual words of the Bible. They aren’t there for filler. God, in His infinite wisdom, has said the things He has said to us in the…

Matthew 25:21 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’” The one emotional condition that, above all, is the opposite of what God would have for His followers is depression. It’s closely…

Threats and Taunts
2 Kings 19:11-13 “Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered? Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar? Where is the…

The Future: What’s Your View?
Isaiah 40:31 “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” How one views the future has everything to do with how they will face today. If we are worried about tomorrow, it will certainly steal…

A Glorious Persuasion
Romans 8:38-39 “For I am sure that . . . things present nor things to come . . . will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Although the verses above contain a whole list of things that Paul tells us he was sure would not separate…
