Angels – Ministers of God
It is a wondrous thought that angels attend and minister to our needs as Christians. I like to think that there is one who has my needs at heart, and who protects me from evil and harm.
In Thy Faithfulness
Do we believe that God’s judgments are right? That is essential if we will understand this morning’s verse. It will help us to appreciate the faithfulness of God. But how is God’s faithfulness expressed through affliction? We need to contemplate the power of this truth in order to see affliction in true perspective.
Do I Value the Church?
Jesus died to purchase the Church. His blood redeemed the soul of every believing, faithful person. This was God’s plan and design, created for His glory. Christ values the Church highly. Do you?

Take Off Your Shoes

At the dedication of the temple, He came in a cloud. In our story here, He came in a burning bush that was not consumed.
Prayer Is Warfare
Just one faithful man on his knees, in his closet, interceding before God for his church or his community can have amazing power with God. Such a man is taking the battle to the level where it should be fought.
