THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN (CHANGES LIVES)

Micah 4 “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” (v. 2 ESV) Many have climbed mountains, just for the sake of accomplishing what they believe is a great

IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO JUST BELIEVE

Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 1:5-7, 2:3-6 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22 It is not enough to just believe in Jesus.  Practically all my life I’ve seen signs along the roadsides that say “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”, which I never truly understood at first.  Some

HAVE YOU SURRENDERED ALL AND BEEN SET FREE?

Matthew 6:19, 16:24-27; John 8:36 “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36 (ESV) I have a feral cat that starved when it was quite young, perhaps even the mother did while carrying it in the womb.  The cat believes it MUST eat every time it comes in the

A TIME OF REFRESHING

Hosea 6:1-3 “Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. (v. 3 ESV) Sometimes when working on my computer, I’ll find certain things don’t work right or as

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF YOURSELF AS BEING LIKE JOB?

Job 1:1-12 “And the LORD said to Satan, ‘Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?’” (v. 8) Have you ever considered yourself to be as Job was; as he was viewed by God? Job

DO WE BELIEVE WHAT WE PROFESS?

Hebrews 11:1, 10:23-25,35-39; John 14:1-3; 2 Corinthians 5:1 “Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Heb. 10:23 (NIV) In a movie called “Heaven Is for Real”, an eight-year-old boy almost dies during an emergency surgery: he sees himself being operated on from above; then goes to heaven,

BARGAIN-HUNTER BELIEVER

Luke 14:25-33; Rom. 12:1, 2 “Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple.  For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?” (vs. 27-28 ESV) Many professing Christians have at least started

WHEN GOD CALLS YOU

Exodus 3:1-12; Jonah 1:1-12; 2 Corinthians 5:9-11 “So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” 

WAITING FOR THE PROMISE

1 Thess. 4:3a, 5:24; Eph. 5:18 “And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”  Luke 24:49 (BSB) The thought of the disciples waiting to see the promise of the Holy Spirit had me thinking today.  There

A. S. K!

Luke 11:9 “Ask, and it will be given to you; Seek, and you will find; Knock, and it will be opened to you.” Perhaps you have, (I’m a little slow at times) but have you ever noticed in this verse and in the use of the word “ASK” that this fits so well with what
