I am so thankful that we have been “called to liberty.” Galatians 5:13. We are not called to bondage, but to the glorious liberty which Christ promises. Not only are we called to liberty, but we are exhorted to “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke …
I am so thankful for the many promises that God has “something better” for His faithful people. “God having provided some better thing for us…” “But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly…” “And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews …
It is always nice to have an advocate—someone who will speak up on your behalf. In some situations, though, it is not just nice to have an intercessor; it is essential. I am so thankful that this is exactly what Jesus is for us today. We find beautiful promises throughout Scripture: “We have an advocate with the Father, Jesus …
As Joshua faced the promised land, the Lord gave him a solemn charge and promise: “Be strong and of a good courage. . . . This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then …
One of Jesus’ most famous promises is this precious assurance of answered prayer: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” Luke 11:9. Just prior to this special promise, Jesus gives the parable of the friend coming at midnight asking for loaves of bread. The midnight friend proved …
I was recently blessed with the beautiful thought found in Titus 3:4, 5: “But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.” According to His great mercy …
One of Scripture’s greatest promises is combined with an equally amazing commission: “And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5:18. We have been reconciled to God by Jesus’ life, death and resurrection so that we can reconcile others to Him. What …
A fascinating verse of Scripture is Matthew 11:12, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.” How does the Kingdom of Heaven suffer violence and how do the violent take it by force? Certainly, we desire to be part of Jesus’ Kingdom, so we need …
Have you ever been so utterly exhausted that you felt like you could not keep your eyes open another moment or take another step? I am sure that all of us have been so weary that rest was the only thing on our mind. Jesus understands our need, not only for physical rest, but even more for the spiritual rest …
We live in a time when families are under attack like never before. It seems that the biblical family unit as God designed it in Eden is rarely modeled today. This, of course, is just as the Bible predicted: “And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of …
