Last time we talked about forgiveness and the Lord's expectations of us in this matter. Today we move on into an area that challenges all Christians everywhere, and that is temptation. We are all tempted, as was Jesus Christ Himself, but God does make a way for us to...
Today we come to the end of our series on The Lord's Prayer. This will be our surrender to our King. We will denounce any praise that comes our way as we point to the one true God as the author of all good things and deserving of any and all honor and glory and...
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (Psalm 23:2-3) I have often heard the question put forth as to the mechanism of God's guiding...
