We are accountable to the next generation for sharing with them those items we have been given. We cannot live for the moment because there will always be another generation.

The perspective of God upon the mount in Exodus differed according to each groups placement in their distance of worship to him. Those on the outskirts saw him as a devouring fire. Those at the intermediate stage saw him as heavenly and was in fellowship with him. However, Moses, who was the closest, was granted revelation. He had things shared with him no other group had.

There was basically two prayer requests of hell in the story of the rich man and Lazarus. First, there was the request for mercy. Second, there was the request for a man to be sent with a testimony or a Word from God. Regardless, in both cases, these request were readily available while both the rich man and Lazarus existed on the earth. Benefit from what is available now so you will not be reques...

When the crowd during Pentecost understood that they were responsible for the crucifix of Jesus, they wanted to know what they could do. The first word out of Peter's mouth was to repent. Our initial and daily repentance is a vital part of our Christian lives.

Almost every ancient city was built near or on a body of water. This was vitally important when under siege because a city could last for several days as long as they had a water supply. Jerusalem had no water supply except what was provided by a meager aqueduct system. Nevertheless, there was a river which made glad the city of God. God was as a place of broad rivers to them. He was in the midst...

The vicious cycle of worship for Israel is that they fell in and out of relationship with God. The Old Testament law recommended severing any relationship that lead the people away from worshipping God. However, when the prodigal returns to his father's house, more importantly he returned to his father... a relationship. As a result he received several things from the outflow of that relationship.

Any distance away from God is too far.

God cares for the sparrow, he is concerned about the grass, and he tends to the lilies. He does these things very intentionally. However, how much more does he look, care, and tend to us. His fingerprints are on our lives. We are one-of-a-kind to God.

We may be acquainted with a move of God. But we must get back to the place where rivers of living water burst forth from our being.

God is not a million miles away. Each of us can have a face to face experience with God.

Most of the Israelites were not allowed into His rest, Canaan, because they majored on praise and minored on worship. They tested, proved, and saw his work but they did not know his ways -manners, habits, of course of life, or of moral character. There are some places that worship will take you that praise never will be able to.

Spotlight Service: This service provides a place for men feeling out the ministry to function in the pulpit. Anything we start in life, we do so with the end result in view. We must consider from the beginning if the reward of finishing is worth the trouble along the way. There is no greater decision of commitment than a commitment to God.

Spotlight Service: This service provides a place for men feeling out the ministry to function in the pulpit. Other people or preconceived notions of other people can serve as hinderances to our own calling in God. We must find what God wants us to do in the body and grow comfortable with that.

Job was told he would come forth "as gold". There is an alloy called "Corinthian Brass" that this refers to. It shimmers almost like gold but has a better durability. As a matter of fact, the heat of the furnace affects this alloy's brilliance just as our testings affect ours. Those things in our lives are just making us "as gold".

Just as a person's vitals can identify clinical deterioration the lack of worship can indicate poor health in a believer. Being that we serve what we worship, a changed object of worship is a changed allegiance in our service. Worship has been greatly attacked from the beginning of time because it will be the vice of the anti-Christ. The anti-Christ will attempt to be revered above God. Therefore,...

Without a strong remembrance the Israelites would seek aid and answers from the house of Egypt, namely Pharaoh. Yet this would prove as it had in the past to be a fruitless effort. The strength of Pharaoh was to sit still according to Isaiah. God is a very present help and Pharaoh is a procrastinator. His plea is tomorrow. But the tragedy, if you will strength, of tomorrow is that it robs us of wh...

Commonly we have been exposed to something good on the surface that has a negative or self-serving purpose as an undercurrent. However, what if some of the bad and negative items in our lives God was using to bring us to a juncture in the road for an entirely different purpose? Follow Saul as he sought to remedy a problem which left him in a chief seat, with choice meat, and a new anointing.

Father's Day - Sometimes being a man isn't enough. Furthermore, being there isn't enough. Times necessitate being a man, there, and ready. Ready to act, ready to engage, and ready to be involved.

This is a practical study that illustrates the importance midwives play in new births. Learning from the physical plane, we make our application on the spiritual plane.

Many times our prayers are not for ourselves but for someone else. Our personal prayer time and prayers are important not just for self benefit but for others. They could be somebody's miracle.

There are a few musts of the gospel: 1. It must be preached 2. It must be received (obeyed) 3. It must be stood on If these are followed, it will save you.
