“And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM” Exodus 3:14.” Present tense, right now and eternally: His existence is absolute, what He has done in the past He will do right now, and what He does right now He will do in the future! The names and titles by which He identifies Himself, […]
Distress, a close relative of pain, anxiety, and grief, are among Satan’s “big guns” in his attack on Christians. It is on the opposite end of the spectrum from joy and gladness! Jesus wants His followers to be joyful, telling us, “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, […]
The Bible clearly shows us that God delights in His people speaking to one another about Him and His goodness (see Malachi 3:16). And not only within the four walls of the church, but to the people in the world around us: “Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His name; Make known His […]

And Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God” (Mark 10:14). Yes “The glory of young […]

Robbing us of health and vitality is another of his key targets. Some physical afflictions are directly attributable to […]
Continuing to focus on water we read in Revelation 21:6 “…I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.” Nothing can compare to clear cool water to quench the thirst of a hot laborer or a weary traveler! Other liquids may appeal to the taste buds, but they […]
Water is essential to life, being a necessity to every living organism. Water is a very fitting symbol of the Holy Spirit, as well as of the word of God. Water is cleansing, refreshing, life-giving, and life sustaining. Appropriately Jesus used water as a picture when He spoke of the Holy Spirit in John 7:37-39, […]
