Is it possible that you could love your spouse more than you do? What about your children? Is it possible that you could love your Christian brethren more than you do? Even the ones who are not so lovable? Is it possible that you could love the elders, deacons, teachers, workers, preachers, etc. at your local congregation more than you do? What…

The Bible says that Satan is a crafty, subtle and cunning being, who can transform “himself into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:3, 14; cf. Gen. 3:1). So, it should be “no wonder” that his “deceitful workers” and “ministers” are able to transform themselves, as well, “into ministers of righteousness” (2 Cor. 11:13-15). They can do things that make them look…
Have you ever said, “I will never do that,” and then you end up doing it after all? Perhaps as a child you said, “When I am a parent, I will never do that” or “never say that,” and then when you became a parent you ended up doing it or saying it after all? Some might do it with a career…

King David promised faithfulness to the Lord as the king of Israel. The resolute determination which he expressed to God in Psalm 101 should be the resolute determination of every king and president today, every church leader, every parent, and in reality, every Christian. “I will sing of mercy (lovingkindness, steadfast love) and justice…I will sing praises.” “I will behave wisely in…
As we read through the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we often imagine what it must have been like to be there when all of those events were transpiring. What would it have been like to see that water transformed into grape juice? To see that man infirmed for 38 years to stand up, pick up his bed and walk? …
Isn’t the human brain amazing? For men, they can stick all sorts of sports statistics, fishing stories and football schedules in their heads (but they can’t seem to remember a simple date). For ladies, they can recall with ease every outfit that other ladies have worn to church for the last six months, their child’s “firsts” and every dumb argument their spouse…
