"Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." (Matt 25:40 NKJV) I have always wanted to do something big in my life. Since I was a boy watching those old television cowboys rescuing people on a runaway...
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him." (James 1:5) For a not-too-techie type person such as myself, computer lingo sounds like a foreign language most of the time. It even took...
The death penalty operated for certain crimes under the law of Moses. No reprieves, no mitigating circumstances, no getting off because of a past good record. You break, you pay, and saying sorry did not. God has not changed. God never changes, ‘with him there is no...
While I was talking with someone the other day, she mentioned something going on in her life. I asked if she’d prayed about it. She replied no, she didn’t think God was concerned about something like that…..she prays about the important things but not anything as...

In last week's lesson on the gates of Jerusalem, we saw that trials and tribulations will come in every Christian's walk, yet we will never be tried beyond what we can bear with God at our side. God gives us the time we need to learn to trust Him and lean explicitly...
Dealing with grief is perhaps one of the hardest things that we, as humans, must do. Grief may be rooted in a death or illness, or it may be rooted in a loss, such as the loss of support, the loss of a spouse through divorce, the loss of a job, or even the feelings of...
Last week, in The Wilderness Experience, Part 4, we discovered that when Jesus refused to jump off the pinnacle of the temple, He left us with the ultimate example in trust. We don’t need outward signs of God’s power. We need to know the miracle worker, and we need...
'My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you' (Gal. 4:19). One of God's mysterious plans is to have his Son, Jesus Christ, formed in the hearts of all who believe in him. "To them God willed to make known what are the riches of...
