Why should God have to lead us through troubles and allow the pressure to be so hard and constant? In the first place, it shows His all-sufficient strength and grace much better than if we were exempt from pressure and trial. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may…
“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.” ((Psalm 20:7)) What is your most treasured possession? What do you have that you are most proud about? Is there something about yourself that you boast about (maybe not verbally, but with your attitude)? The psalmist…
You are to have but one goal in your life, and that is to know Jesus Christ personally, powerfully, passionately, and preeminently. Everything else will flow out of that. You say, “But wait a minute. I’ve got other things to do! I’ve got a job. I’ve got to rest. I’ve got to have recreation. I’ve…
Most people in our society have an amusement-park mentality. They spend much of their time and money on entertainment, wanting to enjoy life and avoid problems whenever possible.

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. ” ((Isa 6:1)) In the morass of spiritual darkness around me, a light shines. This light is the glory of God. When He shines, darkness scatters and flees. When He shines, darkness has lost its power and influence…
