Believe the Word Accept the Word

It is not possible to read your Bible day and night. Even if you could make it through one twenty-four-hour day period, that would be all you could handle.

The Toughest Test

Examine Trial

God tests His children to know what is in their hearts. The greatest tests come not in great adversities, but in great prosperity.

Prosperity fails to provide this motivation for ...

The Skillful Worker

Skillful Excellent Worker

The Lord has called each of us to be excellent in what we do. Those whom God used in the kingdom were skilled and exemplified excellence in their field.

The Price of Following Lord Jesus-II

Away from the World Out of the World

In today's reading, we have a conversation that has shocked many people; it shocked me when I first read it!

God’s Word Saves Us

Believe the Word Accept the Word

The Israelites most of the time did not know what to make out of God’s commands. But they kept on obeying them even when they did not understand them fully. They did not rationalize or debate God’s Word. They did not set up a committee to check the feasibility of obeying God’s Word – They simply obeyed instructions from God. ...
