Undivided Love

Undivided Love

In 1 John 4:19, the beloved Apostle wrote, “We love Him because He first loved us.” The first and foremost thing that God desires from us is that we love Him in return for His love for us. In Deuteronomy 6:5, He said to His people, “you shall love the Lord your God with all […]

Angels of Vengeance

Angels of Vengeance

The Apostle Paul writes in 2 Thessalonians of that future day when Jesus will be revealed from heaven, giving rest to those who have fought “the good fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12), and to render the vengeance of judgment “on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the […]

Ministering Angels

Ministering Angels

Elijah had just witnessed a great victory in a contest where he, the prophet of God, versed the 450 prophets of Baal; he then eradicated the prophets of Baal, enraging Jezebel, who threatened his life. Despondent, discouraged, and probably depressed, Elijah flees fearing for his life, sits down under a tree, and asks God to […]

Waiting On The Lord

Waiting On The Lord

  Have you ever wondered how we are to wait on God? What does He mean when He says we should wait on Him? Let’s look at a couple of scripture verses to help us understand this: first, and I believe foremost, is Isaiah 40:31, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they […]

Diligence

Diligence

Diligence is a key and primary ingredient in both seeking and serving God. To be diligent and function in diligence is to put forth constant careful effort, preserving in hard work with steady effort, painstakingly. Half-heartedness is not acceptable with God. Jeremiah 29:13 tells us that we will find God when we search for Him with […]

How Great Is God

How Great Is God

The word great is so great that it takes at least eight adjectives to describe it, adjectives such as noble, wonderful, absolute, and five others. We catch a glimpse of the greatness of God in Psalm 8:3-4, as the Psalmist speaks to Him saying, “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The […]

Better… (Part 6)

Better… (Part 6)

The basis for this meditation comes from 1 Corinthians 15:53-58. Living in a broken world, we must reconcile ourselves to the fact that “it is appointed for men to die once…” (Hebrews 9:27). Death is so cruel, so cold, and appears to be so permanent; even having been redeemed from the curse of sin and death our […]

Better… (Part 5)

Better… (Part 5)

Proverbs 14:2 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death”, and the same words are repeated in 16:25. The truth is that the fallen nature of man drives him through darkness, and by deception makes him think he is on the right way, while all the time his […]

Better… (Part 4)

Better… (Part 4)

In Ephesians 5:18 we read, “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” We do not sanction the use of intoxicants because of their mind altering, physical controlling power, the devastating actions they promote, and Biblical considerations, period. While wine appears to be the most tolerable […]

Better… (Part 3)

Better… (Part 3)

In what is probably the most well-known “faith” chapter in the Bible, Hebrews 11, we are given a glimpse into the life of Abraham when God called him to leave his homeland to go to another country. By faith he began his journey even though he did not know where he was going, simply following […]
