"To the Angel of the church in Thyatira write..." (Rev. 2:18a) Thyatira is known today as the modern city of Akhisar, a city in the province of Asia on the boundary of Lydia and Mysia. It apparently had no illustrious history, but coinage suggests that it was a...
"Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 NKJV) Many of the recent devotional publications through the Nugget have been focussing on the central themes of troubled times, trials, dealing with problems, going through life's valleys, etc. All...
When I was a kid, I am ashamed to say that I wasn't a very good gift receiver. When I saw the Christmas gifts under the tree, and I would become so curious as to what was in those packages and bags! Would it be the Barbie doll I had asked for? Or what about the boots?...
Last week, in Wilderness Instructions, Part 10, we learned that the veil in the wilderness is there to remind us of the atrocity of sin and the holiness of God. It helps us understand how incapable we are of working our way into God’s grace, and it helps us remember...

One of the things I look forward to the most about Christmas is the Christmas Carols. The Christmas season just isn’t complete without renditions of "Silent Night", "God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen", and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear". But not all Christmas songs focus...
It is nearing Pentecost. Wouldn't it be nice this year to experience the type of Pentecost that was experienced by the early church just after Jesus' Resurrection? Last week, In TRUE DOCTRINE, Part 1, we saw that it was the unity in the church, the same unity that...
Last week, in VICTORY IN TROUBLES, Part 1, we saw that no matter what we're going through, God has already made a way out, and in the end, we will thank Him for what we've going through. Our job is to trust blindly! But here in lies the problem, doesn't it? How do we...
