Do you ever look up at the sky and wonder, “Will today be the day that Jesus comes back?” Do you ever look up at the sky and pray that today will be the day that Jesus comes back? One day it will be “that day.” Oh, what will that be like? His return will be sudden and unexpected. People did not know the flood was…

Think of the things in your life that tend to “run out.” The gas in your car is always running out. The supplies in your house of food, paper goods and cleaning products are always running out. What about your energy level? Running out? What about your patience level? Running out? The reality is that even your days on this earth are running out. David described our days as…
“So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” People keep asking you that question, don’t they? Including me! Well, I’m only going to ask you one more time: Young man, what do YOU want to be? You may be thinking about being a firefighter, but I have something for you that will save more people from an eternal fire. …

“So, what do you want to be when you grow up?” Some kids know what they want to be and some kids are still thinking about it. Young man, what do YOU want to be? You may be thinking about being an engineer, but I have something for you that has been tried and tested and proven to work every time. I…
Can you imagine anyone accusing God of lying, let alone “making God a liar”? That’s exactly what the apostle John claimed we can do. “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us” (1 John 1:10). The reason that making a claim that “we have not sinned” makes God “a liar” is because…
How much do you give to the Lord? I know! That’s a personal question! And it’s absolutely none of my business! Who would you say was the biggest giver in the Bible? Several suggestions could be made in answer to that question. One finalist on that list of the biggest givers would certainly be the brethren in Macedonia. Paul describes “the riches of their liberality,” in that they…
