VERSE:

VERSE: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. -- Psalm 91:2 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Psalm+91:2&translation=kjv THOUGHT: "In God we trust." That's the phrase written on much of the money in the United States. It's a great reminder. The financial climate ebbs and flows, always vulnerable to instability in the world. Only God is our refuge and… Continue

A CLEAN MIND

A CLEAN MIND Ephesians 5:5 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+5:5 Dear Father, Holy God, You have warned me that I can be sure of this: that no fornicator or impure person, or one who is covetous (idolatrous!) has any inheritance in the kingdom that belongs to you and Christ.

A CLEAN MOUTH Ephesians 5:3-4 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Ephesians+5:3-4 Dear Father, Keep me from talking about or thinking about illicit sex and pornography and covetousness, since you require that your holy people avoid referring to these things. Keep me from filthy stories, silly or flippant talk, and any other kind of conversation not fitting for one who follows you. Instead, let my mouth be filled w… Continue

Consider Your Ways

Consider Your Ways Pastor Paula White When something bad happens to us, we are often quick to ask, "Why me, God?" Or, when something good happens to someone else, we may ask, "Why not me, God?" In God's Word, we are instructed to ask questions of ourselves about ourselves when things aren't going as we'd planned or desired. Haggai 1:5 - 6, tells us to "consider your ways" to find the root of many problems: Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, and bri… Continue

Where Do You Stand?

Where Do You Stand? Bishop Donald Hilliard "nor standeth in the way of sinners..." Psalm 1:1 Where do you stand? What is your belief system? Have you looked at it, truly examined your beliefs and your actions? If so, are they aligned? Who you stand with often suggests where you stand, not just physically, but emotionally, philosophically, and yes, spiritually. If you stand with those who do not believe in one husband and one wife long enough, just like the odor of cigarette smoke, the chances ar… Continue

The Accountability Of Passion

The Accountability Of Passion Lisa Birch I got sucked into reality TV recently about a popular entertainment industry mogul. He talked about how he hadn't slept for days because of the projects he was so heavily involved with. On this particular mission he set out to deliver new and different work and he went at it full force. He surrounded himself with top talent, fine tuned the good stuff, got rid of the bad, learned new techniques, stretched his skill set, and practiced to near perfection. H… Continue

VERSE:

VERSE: Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. -- Psalm 34:21 http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Psalm+34:21&translation=kjv THOUGHT: God has promised a closing time, a reckoning where human power and influence cannot buy out the truth and where each person will have to face up to what he or she has done. Evil will overtake those who have been partners with evil. Those that hate good people, righteous people, will be condemned in their own hate… Continue

By the way he lived and the way he died - in his flesh - he rendered ineffective the law of commandments given as "decrees." He lived a life unto you that went beyond obeying commands. He yielded himself in truly loving obedience from the heart. Thank you that he d… Continue

To Gossip Or Not To Gossip

To Gossip Or Not To Gossip Cindy Beall Gossip. I imagine we've all done it at some point in our lives. The word gossip as a noun means a person who habitually reveals personal or sensational facts about others; a rumor or report of an intimate nature. As a verb it means to relate gossip. Not the most positive of definitions, I'd say. And we can't forget what Paul says in Ephesians 4:29, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up acco… Continue
