Worship fundamentally involves scripture, God’s word. Concepts of the Bible are woven into our prayers whether out loud or when we communicate with the Lord in our hearts. Songs written by God fearing men and women as they are led by the Spirit incorporate scripture, many times verses are actually quoted within the lyrics of the music.

These days, it is so easy to become totally overwhelmed with what we read, see and hear about the condition our world is in. Jesus is coming and we are going to be in His very presence, in heaven soon.

You can run but you cannot hide. When we ask God to provide us with wisdom and directions for our lives, we should listen and obey. Not turn our backs on what we know.

My heart goes out to those who are the farmers and ranchers who invest their lives to meet the financial needs of their families while providing food for our country. There are many spiritual applications for farming and ranching.

One very important item near the top on our list should always be to “enter His courts with praise”. Our ‘instruction manual’, the Bible, is very clear about us praising God.

As we look into God’s word, we will look at His comments about the Truth and things that are False. By definition “Truth is what corresponds to the way things actually are.” And truth is one of the basic foundational principles of life. Telling a lie is the opposite of the truth. Falsehood is a misrepresentation of truth.

You have probably already heard the acronym for GRACE. God’s riches at Christ’s expense. Think about that for a few moments.

The Bible tells us that we should walk by faith. In order to even begin a relationship with God we must believe that He is. Have faith in something that we cannot see.

As we think about the concept of Patriotism, what does that mean to you? And more importantly, what does it mean from God's perspective? What does His word say about this nation, our leaders, our responsibility to our country and the politicians?

It has been said that “into every life a little rain must fall”.  True statement, bad weather WILL come AND God will provide strength, safety and His peace until the storm passes by!
