Picture a deer in the wilderness, searching for water because it is very thirsty. It is panting for lack of water. Searching for the smallest drop of moisture to help satisfy its thirst. Are you looking for God in the same way? Are you searching for Him? Are you like that deer? Are you seeking […]
There are many “gods” which we can put first in our lives. Priorities reveal our “gods.” Have you thought about bowing at the end of an exercise? Do you realize you are giving homage to other “gods?” Be careful to whom or what you worship. God’s word says, (NASB) Exodus 20:3 “You shall have no […]
When did you last watch the sun rise? The early morning sky is dark, then… then the first light of the day slowly, oh so slowly, begins to show shapes and then colors. The light grows, oh so slowly, silently. And if there are any clouds in the sky – they become faintly pink, it […]
For many countries today, the government is a safety net for their citizens. As believers in Christ we have a greater Caregiver… His name is Jesus.

Exodus 18:2-4 Jethro, Moses’s father-in-law, heard about what God did for Moses and the people of Israel by […]
For the followers of Christ it takes united effort amongst believers and faith in the living God for victories. It is not a one time deal. It is multiple times of working together to win battles. For example consider a Sunday morning church service. The sermon must have a topic decided upon, organized, written and […]
How do you react in difficult and unexpected circumstances? You have no control over the circumstances and yet you must deal with the situation. Do you argue and quarrel with people which also have no power to change the circumstances? Are you testing the living God with a grumbling and quarrelsome attitude? The sons of […]
