And who of you by worrying and being anxious can add one unit of measure (cubit) to his stature or to the span of his life?  Matthew 26: 27 AMPC Do not fret, (worry) or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite request), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.  Philippians 4:6  AMPC A lot of Christians are fa...  Read More

The Bible (primarily the New Testament) gives us the reasons for fasting and they are: (1) To minister to the Lord. (2) To lay hands on ministers to send them forth. (3) To draw close to God in perilous times. Although the New Testament does not tell us "to fast", it certainly does not mean that we should not.There are not iron clad rules in the Bible regarding fasting and that is because the need...  Read More

So many people would have a hard time saying that this past year was a great year. That makes me so proud that I am a man of faith, and I don’t have to judge what is good or bad by the situations and circumstances that we have had to deal with. It has been a great year because our Heavenly Father never changes, regardless of how difficult the times are.  Also, His Word hasn’t changed and WILL WORK...  Read More

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  2 Corinthians 5:21 Many Christians think to become righteous they have to work hard to achieve it. And then they feel bad when they do wrong. They don’t realize that by doing these things, they are not seeking God’s righteousness, but are trying to establish their OWN righteousness by their law...  Read More

But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.  Romans 4:5 What does the average Christian think about when they think of righteousness? Is it something you do or something you are? Is it right doing or right being? The Bible tells us that after Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross, God imputes righteousness not to those who strive to...  Read More

And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  Hebrews 10:17This verse is certainly good news to here. God sees our sins- past, present and future, and says, “Your sins I will remember no more.” The Greek implies that God is saying, “Your sins I will by no means ever remember.”  Some may think that God must have lowered His standards. But He hasn’t. He is still perfectly holy. He DID howe...  Read More

This I recall to my mind, therefore have, I hope. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are NEW every morning; great is Thy FAITHFULNESS.  Lamentations 3:21-23 God is faithful. He’s full of compassion. His mercies are new every morning. As a believer, you know that is true. But simply knowing it is not enough. For it to have an impact on your ...  Read More

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  Genesis 1:26 It’s important that we understand that when God made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. For us to have an idea of the kind ...  Read More

For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7 Try to picture David when he was a shepherd boy. Many who knew him before the battle with Goliath would very likely have seen just an ordinary youth, one who lived at home with his parents and siblings, enjoyed the outdoors and loved music. But where others saw a typical t...  Read More

For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.  1 Corinthians 2:2 We see here in this scripture the Apostle Paul saying that he determined to know nothing among them except “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” In other words, Paul, who wrote two thirds of the New Testament, had his mind full of Jesus and His finished work.  Friends, God wants you mind full of t...  Read More

…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; Romans 4:17b Many times, when we look at ourselves, we do not see what we can become. But when God looks at us, He does see what we can become by His grace. When Jesus first saw Simon, He changed his name to “Peter,” which means “rock.” But did Peter immediately become someone with the characteristics of...  Read More

But He answered and said, “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 In Genesis 2:7, the Bible tells us that God breathed into man and he became a living being. In 2 Timothy 3:16, we are told that all Scripture is God breathed. This means that when you read the Bible or listen to God’s Word ministered, you are taking in th...  Read More
