The Spirit Of Truth

As we open the Bible to read or study, the Spirit of Truth is with us to guide us into all truth (John 16:13). Just before Jesus went to the cross, He told His followers that "the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you" (John 14:26). The Father gave the Spirit to teach us from the Word. ~David McCasland (John 14:15-27)

Called to speak of Your dear Son;

In God There's Hope In Hopeless Situations

No Fine Print Here

The Lord wants us to understand His plan and purpose clearly, so that we may love, obey, and cling to Him--for He is our "life and the length of [our] days" (Deut 30:20). There is no fine print in God's communication with us. ~David McCasland
(Deuteronomy 30)

God Sees Everything

We can rest knowing that "the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him" (2 Chron. 16:9). Others see what we do, but God sees why we do it. ~Jennifer Benson Schuldt
(Matthew 6:18)

The Key To Loving Others

When John tells us that we "ought to love one another," he calls us the "beloved" (I John 4:11). Once you embrace how wonderfully loved you are by God, it will be much easier to be the loving person God calls you to be--even toward those who don't show you love. ~Joe Stowell
(I John 3:1-2)

What Die To Yourself Really Means

There are few Christians today who know what it means to die to self, and even fewer who have experienced it. This is another one of the reasons why there is such a lack of power in many of our churches today. Most Christians are not willing to die to self. To be truly dead to self...to walk with Christ on the road in obedience to Gods will, to be united with Him in the fellowship of his sufferings, and death...you must be willing to give up all claims to your life. Every day of your life you must be willing to deny self, to take up your cross and follow Jesus! ~Morris Cerullo (Galatians 2:20) *Photo by pippalou at morguefile.com.

On This Independence Day

On this Independence Day we need to declare our independence from every manner of bondage. We need to declare our independence from fear. We need to declare our dependence on the Lord God Almighty.
