And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.

The Holy Spirit is conforming us to Christ’s image. As we cooperate with Him, He will help us become more patient Colossians 3:12-14 (KJV) 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. On any given day, we may encounter frustrating people and situations. We may feel like …

d this world, and its universe, is a matter of knowing God in Christ, which, of course, means knowing Christ. Every aspect and detail of God’s will and God’s way and God’s end is a matter of knowing the Lord Jesus. All progress, as all life, rests upon that – knowing Him. The Christian life here is meant to be one of continuous growth and development and progress, but that only takes place as we come to know more, and still more, of the meaning of the Lord Jesus. This progress will not stop when we leave this world, and …

It actually means that he went north into the southern region of Israel. He left …

In our culture, we’re quick to cast off what’s broken. But thankfully, God doesn’t think that way. BY CARYN RIVADENEIRA On this day, all answers point to yes. My kids are out of luck, although I don’t need their help (as I did the day I curb-picked my dresser with the terrific spindles). No, this tiny half-moon end table—dulled wood with great legs—that I’m saving from a landfill can be snagged off the curb with one quick pop of the trunk and a swift sweep of my arm. “No one even saw,” I tell the kids as I shut my …

Behold one of the great Physician’s mightiest arts: he has power to forgive sin! While here he lived below, before the ransom had been paid, before the blood had been literally sprinkled on the mercy-seat, he had power to forgive sin.

He has boundless power now that he has finished transgression and made an end of sin. If ye doubt it, see him rising from the dead! behold him in …

Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.” 3 But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give …

Mary of Magdala was the victim of a fearful evil. She was possessed by not one devil only, but seven. These dreadful inmates caused much pain and pollution to the poor frame in which they had found a lodging. Hers was a hopeless, horrible case. She could not help herself, neither could any human succour avail. But Jesus passed that way, and unsought, and probably even resisted by the poor demoniac, he uttered the word of power, and Mary of Magdala became a trophy of the healing power of Jesus. All the seven demons left her, left her never to …

“…then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.” -Matthew 26:56 Grown men are only able to act as though they are not afraid. It has been said that courage is managing your fear. In the movies, when the brave, leading man is close to danger, he appears as though nothing can move him. However, fear can bring out some rather unpredictable behavior, even among those who are seemingly fearless. If you care in any way about your welfare and safety, you will be fearful at some point in your life. Fear, at times, can be a good thing. It is …
