The Right Friends Make A World of Difference

Proverbs 27:17 (KJB) Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

God desires for each of us to encourage and sharpen our friends.  Doing so does not mean that we choose to enter a debate or engage in a war of words with them.

God desires that ...

Arrayed in Fine Linen

Revelation 19:8 (KJB) And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Clean, white, crisp, and fresh.

What You Care About Matters

Jude 22 (KJB) And of some have compassion, making a difference.

Many people in this world want to make a difference.

What separates genuinely godly and compassionate people apart from the cares of others is the caliber of concerns they have and the changes they desire to make.

A person can be passionate about good and moral causes.  He or she can pursue a lifelong-dream of saving exotic animals whose species is about to die out of ...

Out of His Mouth

Sincerely Seeking His Will

John 15:7 (KJB) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Did you know that for a child of God his natural obedience to things of God are directly tied to receiving answers to prayer?  This verse says just that.  If, is an important word, for it lays out God’s condition for His spiritual children receiving answered prayer.

“If ye abide ...

At Your Wits End Is God

At Your Wits End Is God

Proverbs 1:7 (KJB) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

A “know-it-all” in this world knows nothing about the wisdom and understanding of God.  Instead, he or she knows about things of this world which often stand in opposition to the will and way of God.  This is foolish living.

On the other hand, a spiritually humble person is ready and willing to learn of God.  ...
