One Sunday night, a church in Atlanta was honoring one of its senior pastors who had been retired many years. He was 92 at that time and some wondered why the church even bothered to ask the old gentleman to preach at that age. . . .

You may ask God today for something you want, but thank Him when you receive ALL that you need.

1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

Why doesn’t the Holy Spirit come upon us more often?

This is a great question that I think a good many Christians ask when attempting to grow in their Christian faith.

Other relevant questions include:
Why don’t I feel closer to God?
What am I doing that is holding me back?
Why isn’t my church growing?

This Scripture is from one of my favorite passages that I had to memorize in Seminary; I hope you enjoy it:

“. . . the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for . . .” – Romans 8:26…

A Poem
I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due. . . .

This is for MEN only – women do not read…

Sometimes we get in trouble because we don’t fully read instructions when assembling a toy or attempting do-it-yourself repairs around the house. I know my wife has told me . . .

Sometimes it’s hard to do good. But…

⁷Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. ⁸The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. ⁹Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

The Lord is my Shepherd = That’s Relationship!
I shall not want = That’s Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures = That’s Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters = That’s Refreshment!

Lately I’ve spoken at length of sin. But let’s discuss briefly what sin does and doesn’t do to us:

Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? – Romans 8:35
