Feet of Clay


Many of God’s people live their lives being limited by others in what they can do for our Lord and King. As well, many people feel ill-equipped and question their ability or worthiness to be used of God. We find in God’s word that everyone who belongs to God is prepared and equipped to serve

Standing With God


Turning Your Own Way The love of God is not dependent upon who we are but who He is. We are incapable of earning God’s affection. Isaiah, the prophet to the nation of Israel, said: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on

Are You Good Enough?


Jesus was a great teacher… a prophet, healer and friend. These character qualities alone would qualify Jesus as a saint but would not allow Him to be received by God. Jesus was a man who was:  “…despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces

Are You A Shut-In?


  “The Lord shut him in.” (Gen 7:16b) When we prepare for the night most of us check our doors to ensure they are locked and secure. We secure our homes because we want to feel safe from danger and harm from the evil workers. The truth is that locks on our doors are only a deterrent

Looking For Loopholes


The Original Answer Book Reading the Bible is the first step in understanding God and His work in your life. Many of life’s questions can be answered as we read the word of God. Apostle Paul told Timothy:  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for

Furnish Your Soul


Search the Scriptures What is the purpose of the Holy Scripture? Was it left behind as a road map to finding riches and health? Was God’s motivation for His Spirit speaking through men to give a code of living that would bring His blessings? Why did God leave a record of Himself to the world?

Broken Bows


Free from the Darkness of the Evil One The Psalmist, speaking of God’s power over the enemies of Israel, states that He destroyed their weapons of war. He said this in the city of Jerusalem, and in the presence of God in His tabernacle: “There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and
