There are times when God commands us to move forward in faith so that He can execute His will for us. Exodus 14:13-15 KJV (13)  And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no ...

 Luke 18:1-8 KJV (1)  And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; (2)  Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: (3)  And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. ...

Hebrews 11:6 KJV But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. The Christian pathway is one of walking by faith.  As we follow God’s leading, He rewards our faith, and we also grow to trust Him.  There are many ...

We don’t always pay attention to what we pray for.  Too often, we can get caught up in prayers of repetition (which Jesus warned us about in Matthew 6:7), or we don’t actually think through the implications of what we are asking for in our prayers.   “Lord, please grant me more patience…” How do you suppose one gets more ...

Philippians 4:6-7 (6)  Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. (7)  And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.   At the beginning of October, I began a prayer ...

Exodus 16:14-18 KJV (14)  And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. (15)  And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, ...

Does it seem like we spend more time complaining and wanting to return to bad situations with which we are familiar, rather than overcoming the necessary trials that are on our path? Exodus 14:10-12 KJV (10)  And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and ...

Yesterday, I read an advice column in Slate where someone asks about whether they should return their tithe or pay their debt. Unfortunately, the answer given to the poor truth seeker was way off the mark.  And the comments that followed were not any more helpful.  It is a shame that Debbie did not have a better place to ask questions ...

We often look at witnessing as being an activity that is primarily beneficial to the recipient of the witnessing endeavor.  It is, after all, their salvation that is at stake.  But, there is an oft ignored benefit to the one who is doing the witnessing -- and it is a significant one. One of the reasons that God has commissioned us to ...

God has many ways to speak to us.  In both the Old and New Testament, we have examples of God speaking directly to one or more people, speaking through prophets, speaking through angels (usually to prophets), and occasionally even speaking through animals. Sometimes He speaks audibly to us, sometimes on the inside, as with the ...

The Bible is our treasure map that leads us to Salvation.  It is not, in and of itself, Salvation, but it points the way to Jesus Christ, who is our only Salvation. As Jesus pointed out to the Pharisees, they thought they had inherent salvation because they had the Scriptures, but they were ignoring the fact that the Bible was pointing them ...

One of the big tests for religion, particularly Christianity, is the ability to prove that God exists. As interesting as it seems, the Bible does not ''prove'' the existence of God -- rather, it assumes it.  Genesis starts of with ''In the beginning, God...'' and it provides no explanation or apology for God's existence. There are many who ...

Many people have learned via religion that God answers us in three ways: Yes No Maybe We are often taught that God sometimes says ''Yes'', sometimes ''No'', and sometimes ''Maybe'', and we interpret anything that isn't a ''Yes'' as one of the other two, using some unknown criteria. The fact is that this is not Biblical.  When God doesn't ...
