Living by Faith: Humility and God's Justice

Humility, poverty of spirit, and acknowledging our total dependence on God are of the utmost importance. God responds to those who are humble.

The Wrath of God

Love motivates the two intrinsic parts of God's holy character—goodness and severity, as He seeks to rescue humanity from the consequences of sin.

God's Sovereignty and the Church's Condition (Part One)

How involved in man's affairs is God? Is He merely reactive, or does He actively participate—even cause events and circumstances, particularly in the church?

The Signs of God (Part Two)

Correct actions become a sign—a witness—even without any preaching, which is why God's words are symbolically bound to the hand rather than the tongue.

Ask, Seek, Knock

When we are searching for a solution to a problem, we should actively expend effort to resolve the difficulty. Jesus gives three different forms of seeking.

Chronicles: Answered Prayer

The thesis of Chronicles seems to be that when God's people seek Him in repentance and humility, God comes to their aid; if not, they fail.

Prayer and Persistence

Persistence in prayer does not mean an incessant pestering God into action. God always looks at our petitions from the vantage-point of His purpose.

Leadership and the Covenants (Part Eleven)

As God sanctified Noah, saving him from the flood, we must trust God to sanctify us, protecting us from the holocaust of fire which will burn this earth.

Unity and Unleavened Bread

As members of Christ's body, we must function for the good of the whole body, not competing with other parts. We must continually function as a son of God.

Asa

Asa left a few things undone, losing steam in his later years and playing it safe. Idolatry was so ingrained in the land that Asa grew weary in well-doing.

What Are You Going To Do About It?

Activism is not the godly response to social ills. We must call out to God regarding our nation and our brethren as they are impacted by evil doers.

Acts (Part Twelve)

Paul and Barnabas developed the church in the cosmopolitan city of Antioch, the location from where the term 'Christian' originated.

Shrugging Off Scoffers (Part Two)

Any prophetic speculation, accurate or not, is useless unless it is promotes diligence in living godly lives, eagerly preparing for the return of Christ.

Matthew (Part Twenty)
