Elijah was just sitting at Sinai “feeling sorry for himself“.  The man of God who had just defeated the prophets of baal was sitting in the shadow of Sinai pouting.  Discouragement is the number one tool of satan against God’s people.  He knows if he can get you discouraged he can defeat you.  Listen, God [...]

There is a ruthless, cruel underworld system that wars against you. The crime bosses are but amateurs compared to this syndicate, ruled by the Master of Deception. He’s called the “destroyer,” “liar,” “accuser,” “tempter,” and “prince.” Satan is indescribably wicked, brilliantly stupid, and hideously beautiful. If he can’t convince you that he does not exist, [...]

There was a sign in a business that said, “We are not what we think we are; what we think — we are.” What are you allowing into your mind that is thereby controlling your heart, your actions, and your words? God made you so that you can’t think two thoughts at one time. If [...]

For the first time in history, man is afraid of what he knows. His head and his hands have outrun his heart, and we are being faced with things for which we have no answers — the plague of AIDS, the tinderbox in the Middle East, the outbreaks of famine, the irregular weather disturbances, and [...]

Webster says love is an affectionate feeling one has toward another.  The Bible says God is love.  I believe the Bible.  The truth is you cannot know love unless you know God.  God’s love is unconditional, unchangable, inseparable, and sacrificial.  I love the old song “Jesus loves me”.  The word tells us to Love God [...]

There’s a story about the devil auctioning off his tools. He had a high price on pride, laziness, arrogance, hate, envy, and jealousy. But there was one tool that had a sign under it, “Not For Sale.” Someone said, “What is that tool, and why isn’t it for sale?” “Well,” he said, “I can’t afford [...]

I read this little devotional written by Adrian Rogers and wanted to share it with you today.   May God use it to work in your life.
The Lord Jesus said, “Moreover if thy brother trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault” (Matthew 18:15). You say, “He’s the one that did wrong. If he wants [...]

The other day I was stopped at a red light and noticed the person in the car next to me was just singing at the top of her lungs, shaking her head, and really getting after it.  Was really a great show (lol).  When she glanced my way, she sheepishly smiled and stopped singing.  You [...]

Paul said God promised to supply all our NEED according to His riches in glory (Phil 4:19).  David said “delight thyself also in the Lord and He shall give thee the DESIRES of thine heart” (Ps 37:4).    In the 23rd Psalm we are told “the Lord is my shepherd I shall not WANT”.  Three words: NEED, [...]

Some people wonder if it is worth it all, if their life is of any value, or if their work is in vain.  Don’t wonder my friend - You are important, your work, is important, and you are of such value to God that He has given His angels a charge to watch over you.  [...]
