The God-Man Among the People
In a time not so long ago when compared to eternity, in a land not so far away there was and is GOD. He desires to be among His people, and He sent His Son, born of a virgin, to live and to die for the sins of humanity. His name? You know it. It …
I am Not Ashamed
"Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and …

To Trust or to Defy the Living God

The king of Assyria sends his messenger to the wall with a threatening message, …
It Is In God’s Hands
I sometimes get to thinking that I have no fear in my life. When I do that something happens; a sickness in the family, a tragedy, a storm; you get the idea; is sent my way, and fear is present. It has occurred to me that when I am walking with the LORD in communion …
Confidence and a Place of Refuge
"In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and His children shall have a place of refuge. The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death." Proverbs 14:26-27 (KJB) I will let a sage of the past comment on these verses. Matthew Henry has written, "In these …
Will God Give Us Revival Again?
Psalms 84 and 85 are songs written for the sons of Korah. Now unless you are familiar with their story the Psalms for them will not mean too much to you. You will find their story in Numbers 16. Let me suggest that you go and read that, then the Psalms for the sons of …
