As Christians, it is guaranteed that we will face many challenges as we walk with Christ. This is a turbulent era for the human race at large. Changes in governments, natural disasters, age-old conflicts, and debilitating diseases are bringing heartache to so many. Our natural response to such difficulties is...

During times of war, nations often reserve the right to summon young men into military service. It is difficult to imagine that someone would respond by saying, “I would rather not go, if that’s okay with you.” Although people do defer for various reasons, the call to military service is...

The words “be holy” are found thirty-nine times in the Scriptures. The first occurrence is in Exodus 22:31 when God said, “Ye shall be holy men unto me.” I can hear His voice saying this to me. He speaks so beautifully. I can hear the compassion in His voice, and...

God wants intimacy in prayer. He doesn’t want us praying out of religious duty. That is not prayer. There has never been a true work of God without an assembly that really grasps the subject of prayer. People will not be added to the Church daily, and there will never...

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus healed people. As believers, we have to make up our minds. Are we part of that crowd who believe that God does not heal today? If that were true, then why does the Bible say He changes not (Malachi 3:6)? Why does it say He is...

Heaven is an absolute. Thank God, the only death for the believer is physical death (2 Corinthians 5:8). Hell is also absolute. What motivates us in the love of God are these absolutes. Don't deviate from the absolutes. Let's enjoy the rich blessings we have. Every Word of God is...
