THE FUTURE IS AS BRIGHT AS THE PROMISES OF GOD!

Happy New Year! Just want to share this devotion from Oswald Chambers. Hope it blesses you like it blesses me.

"You shall not go out with haste...for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard" (Isaiah 52:12).

Security from Yesterday. "...God requires an account of what is past (Ecclesiastes 3:15). At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise when we remember our… Continue

God's FREE GIFT...

Gloria Gaither said... “Right from the beginning God’s love has reached out for us, and from the beginning man has refused to understand. But love went on reaching, offering itself. And still today, after two thousand years, patiently, lovingly, Christ is reaching out to us today. He is reaching, longing to share with us...the very being of God. His love still is longing ... His love still is reaching ... right past the shackles of my mind. And the Word of the Father became Mary’s little Son.… Continue

In my weakness...

When we face a problem we have two choices: focus on the problem or fix our eyes on God. If we opt for the first, the problem seems to grow bigger. If we look to God, we will see God's presence and goodness -- and this opens doors to discover a solution. Despair and disappointment can become opportunities to move closer to God and feel God's power. (Shaji George (Kerala, India)

The Lord told Paul... "My Grace is sufficient...I work best in your weakness. One of my favorite thoughts… Continue

JOHN 1:4-5... (4) In Him was life; and the life was the Light of man. (5) And the Light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The Night is the Absence of All Light. The Day is the Presence of All Light when God is Present. The Darkness is not merely 'illuminated' but the Darkness 'Shines' Where God is, Light is produced enough to chase away darkness as far as the eye can see, and far beyond man's concepts or horizons. May we not let our minds..., or our feelings limit the measure of God's working, revelation, or Life! (Leonard Ravenhill)

And we are now God's light here on earth. A day should never go by… Continue

For God so loved the world HE GAVE...

In Luke's account of Jesus' birth, we read about an angel who announced, "Do not be afraid." I, like the shepherds, would certainly need this reassurance. "I am here with good news," the angel continued. Not only is this good news, it's the best news ever. My Savior was born! Even if I were the only person on the face ...of the earth, God loved me enough to give me my own Savior. (The Upper Room) And with that began the greatest story ever told. Our Lord was born in a manger in Bethlehem, lived… Continue

The world needs a Holy Revival

Acts 1:8 says... "“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

“TODAY...we need a revival of Holy living. Why do we have to hang a sign outside of our church that we are Fundamental and Biblical? Because without a sign, no one could identify us! When I passed through a town that a few days before had been torn apart by a tornado, I assure you, I had not to be told… Continue

Christmas Blues

The Holidays have, perhaps, come too soon for some of you. Has it been a tough year? Have there been huge losses? I am sure we can all find something to be thankful for, but gratitude is a matter of the heart.

Habakkuk had a rough year. He could not eat. He was not in a festive mood. The bible says he trembled, his lips quivered. He was afraid. A war was about to happen, and we know that war brings a lot of grief and sorrow. In many ways, nobody really wins a war. There are losses… Continue
