“Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” John 6:67-68

A Living Source

Encouragement Emails Notice
Notice: This is to inform you that there will be a pause in the sending out of these weekly messages of encouragement.
Morally Correct or Redeemed
The spiritual wholeness that Christ requires of those who are redeemed is more than just morality. Jesus is seeking a changed heart. That results in a changed spirit, a new attitude.
Is Marriage for Life?
Some people decide that they are tired of their companion and get a divorce so they can marry someone they like better. Jesus said…
The Chains of Sin
I have discovered that men can be free even when they are bound. I went to prison for Bible studies and found men who were free in spirit. . . .
Jesus is Coming
Jesus is coming back. Are you ready to meet Him? You can be, if you follow the example of the five wise virgins…
Servanthood
Do you want to wave a sceptre? How about learning first to use a hoe. Do you really want to serve? Learn obedience first by the things you suffer.
Children are God’s Reward
How committed are you to raising your children for God? Are you more committed to their spiritual success than to their financial or academic success?
Not So, Lord
Have you ever said NO to God? Peter had always thought it would be wrong to do what God told him to do. How would you have responded?
Profession Without Obedience
Do you profess to know Christ, but continue to walk in sin? Are you engaged in the work of the Lord when you know you are a hypocrite?
Praise Comes From Joy
Worship is beholding God in His splendor and majesty, and proclaiming our love and admiration for Him with a living and expectant joy.
First Things First
If people only knew the joy and fulfillment the new birth brings, more would be lined up to experience it. Salvation is a free gift for all.
Don’t Tempt God
I would rather die of hunger than do anything to please the devil. I would rather face the scoffers than to go against God’s will. We will never grow spiritually if we ignore God’s will for our lives.
Rebels by Nature
Our tendency is to seek out the forbidden. If a mother tells her child not to play with the sewing machine, what will happen when leaves the room?
Finding Freedom from Fear
When we fear something or someone we often lose our ability to think objectively and with caution. The thing that is causing us fear begins to control us.
The Sin of Rebellion
A great sin of our day is the idea that, “No one can tell me what to do; I will be the master of my own life and destiny.”
Temptations: Part Three
Resist the devil, and cast your temptation before the Lord. You are serving a mighty God who will help you. God wants to bring you to glory …
Temptations: Part Two
God never tempts any person to sin. He may allow us to be tempted to make us stronger but not because He wants us to fall into sin.
Temptations: Part One
Temptation is something a Christian faces daily. Most don’t like that. But let’s consider temptation in a positive light.
Satan: Our Greatest Enemy
We often get into trouble when we expose the devil. He has the power to express his displeasure by increasing attacks and temptations toward us. But he must be exposed…
Restitution — Part 3
We cannot have peace until we clear our conscience. Even if we have wronged others and they know nothing of it, return and make restitution.
Restitution – Part 2
In the Law of Moses, restitution was applied to both non-deliberate and deliberate acts against others. How different our society would be today if we still applied these principles to our daily lives!
Restitution – Part 1
Many professing Christians have failed to deal honestly with the principle of restitution. It is imperative that we look at this principle and then look inward to determine whether or not we have met the criteria of this principle.
Fear GOD not Men
What does the fear of man look like? Brother James lists three ways fear of man traps us and gives three antidotes to overcome fear of man…
Lukewarm Churches
Lukewarmness is more repulsive to Christ than spiritual coldness. His words in verse 16 express His nauseating reaction to lukewarmness in the church.
Loaded with daily benefits
“O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: because His mercy endures forever.” This invitation to thank God reminds us that He is good. He possesses everlasting mercy and is kind.
In Defense of Marriage
The institution of marriage is taking a beating at the hands of an ungodly society. It’s time we stand up, as many others have, in defense of marriage as God designed it from the beginning.
