Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons (1 Corinthians 12:4-6, NASB1995). The Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4:1 that we should walk in a manner worthy of our calling. Do we know […]

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20, ESV). Those who believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior are citizens of heaven, but none of us are naturalized citizens. We were born again. My parents were citizens of heaven, but their profession of faith did not provide

We know that we are children of God and that the world around us is under the control of the evil one (1 John 5:19, NLT). First John 5:19 reads as a wake-up call about the reality of Satan. The entire world is under the control of the evil one. The word that the Apostle
All of a sudden there was a bump. It was a hard bump! (Pastor Grant, as quoted on ABC Nightly News.) Before every mission trip, I ask others to pray for myself and my team members for safety and Spirit-filled ministry. As we left on our recent trip to the Philippines, I was looking forward
Psalm 139 is a presence of God Psalm. In difficult moments, we might ask, “Where are you, God?” Psalm 139 answers this question: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there

In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15, ESV). All Bible scholars worth their salt know about Flavius Josephus (or just Josephus), the Jewish
I am constantly hounded by those who slander me, and many are boldly attacking me (v. 2, NLT). Psalm 56 is the slander Psalm—when others are saying untruths and stretching our words for harm. King David says . . . They are always twisting what I say; they spend their days plotting to harm me

Believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don’t believe me (John 10:38, NLT). During the last days of His ministry, Jesus confronted skepticism about His teaching by telling the Jewish leaders to believe in His miraculous works. Doubt is a demonic stronghold afflicting our culture today. And seeing a

“Куда могу уйти от Твоего Духа? Куда могу убежать от Твоего присутствия?”(Псалтирь 138:7 НРП) Библия учит о вездесущем существовании Бога. Он присутствует везде. Но спрашивали ли мы когда-нибудь: “Где Ты, Бог, когда я нуждаюсь в Тебе?” Может, это и не так, но ответ находится рядом с нами! Мы не можем уйти от Божьего присутствия, даже
Study to show thyself approved (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV). I’m a fan of the accuracy of Biblical translation. The New Testament, written mostly in Greek, has been translated into over 900 English translations. And the translations on my computer, sixty of them, pretty much all say the same thing. Great job, Bible translators! Though scholars
