The day that the ark came to Jerusalem was a day of celebration. God’s presence had symbolically come to the national capitol, a marvelous reminder of God’s special relationship with His people.

To Timothy, the command was clear: hold fast to the gospel! Cling to the message of Christ, and don’t let go! He was to keep the deposit of faith that was entrusted to him, not veering from faithfulness one iota. The command hasn’t changed for us, for the need is just as great. We need […]

At the close of his letter, Paul’s appeals to Timothy were urgent. He was to fight the good fight of faith, guarding the gospel that was entrusted to him. He was to flee those things, follow hard after Jesus, holding fast to Him and help the church do the same. So are we! Apple: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/preach-the-word/id1449859151?mt=2 […]

It has been often said, “One life will soon be past – only what is done for Christ will last.” Do we do the things we do for us, or for Jesus? Do we follow Him as our King, just like the mighty men who followed David? Or…do we (like Saul) focus on ourselves, to […]

The topic of riches can be controversial in churches because of the abundance of abuse among the ‘pastors’ that practice greed. Yet the Bible provides clear instruction on the subject. Wealth can either be a danger or a blessing. It all depends if the person with the wealth submits him/herself to the Lord.
