Courageous

by

Courageous She loved the peacefulness of the country as she sat under the tree. As she sat in the shade of the tree, she could look for hours at the beauty that God had placed all around her. She could stare for hours at the miraculous gift He had given her and all of His people. Often He had brought her to that tree, and each time He would lead others to her. They came with the problems that each day brought to them, and she helped them settle the disputes with the advice that God lead her to speak. …

Nothing Compares Job 38 38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars …

FEAR!!!

by

FEAR!!! He could hear his heart beating louder than the voices and the footsteps. As he crouched in hiding behind the cabinet, he was sure they could hear every beat. But with each beat, the soldiers continued to move, and soon he could hear their voices no more. He quickly rose, and found his way quietly to the door, stepping as lightly as he could as he made his way out of the village and into the protection of the land surrounding it.. Touma did not plan on still being in the village as the soldiers arrived, but the Lord’s …

Mouth Confession; Heart Belie

by

Mouth Confession; Heart Belief If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9) There must be confession with the mouth. Have I made it? Have I openly avowed my faith in Jesus as the Savior whom God has raised from the dead, and have I done it in God’s way! Let me honestly answer this question. There must also be belief with the heart. Do I sincerely believe in the risen Lord Jesus? Do I trust in Him as …

Christ’s Compassion Toward Frail Sinners

by

Christ’s Compassion Toward Frail Sinners Let us take comfort in the thought that the Lord Jesus does not cast off his believing people because of failures and imperfections. He knows what they are. He takes them, as the husband takes the wife, with all their blemishes and defects, and once joined to Him by faith, will never leave them. He is a merciful and compassionate High Priest. He knew what they were before conversion – wicked, guilty, and defiled; yet He loved them. He knows what they will be after conversion – weak, erring, and frail; yet He loves them. …

His Voice Dr. Mike Murphy

by

His Voice Dr. Mike Murphy They were filled with grief as they left. They had known him for years, but the man they now saw was a shell of his former self. Behind the sores that covered his skin, was a man broken by all this life had recently brought his way. Many a man had claimed to lose everything, but before them stood a man who they thought had lost it all. Within minutes, he had watched as all his wealth was destroyed in front of him, and all his servants had now abandoned him. If that news was …

“I will praise thee, O Lord.” Psalm 9:1

by

“I will praise thee, O Lord.” Psalm 9:1 Praise should always follow answered prayer; as the mist of earth’s gratitude rises when the sun of heaven’s love warms the ground. Hath the Lord been gracious to thee, and inclined his ear to the voice of thy supplication? Then praise him as long as thou livest. Let the ripe fruit drop upon the fertile soil from which it drew its life. Deny not a song to him who hath answered thy prayer and given thee the desire of thy heart. To be silent over God’s mercies is to incur the guilt …

A Field For The Harvest

by

A Field For The Harvest Dr. Mike Murphy “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” How many times during each of our lives have we heard these words? Despite how often you have heard these words, how many of you know where these words come from? We all know these as words of encouragement, words that tell us the benefit of diligence and hard work. Most who know a little about these words, will attribute them to Benjamin Franklin, and his publication of Poor Richard’s Almanac. In the 1735 version of the almanac, most …

42–Heaven and Earth Will Shake

by

Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven (ASV, 1901). God has shaken the earth on numerous occasions in response to the sins of mankind and His desire to clear the way for the nation Israel to pass into the promise land. Beside the book of Revelation’s discussion of the tremendous judgments on the earth, and Heaven, God foretold these things through both Lord Jesus and the prophet Isaiah. Some of the characteristics of His judgment on what …
