Mark 11:17 17Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves’.” It would be great if every time we prayed, the answers came quickly. Thank God for immediate results, but what do we […]

Your Answer Is In His Word
Proverbs 4:20–22 20My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. 21Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart;22for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. God has given us a sure way to receive the […]
The Lord Is Your Refuge
Psalm 91:1–2 1He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.” Every day, we are bombarded with news of conflicts, natural disasters, diseases and new […]

“The Temple of the Holy Spirit”
. . . only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you —Genesis 41:40 I am accountable to God for the way I control my body under His authority. Paul said he did not “set aside the grace of God”— make it ineffective (Galatians 2:21). The grace of God is absolute and […]
Discovering Divine Design

The Method of Missions
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations . . . —Matthew 28:19 Jesus Christ did not say, “Go and save souls” (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but He said, “Go . . . make disciples of all the nations . . . .” Yet you cannot make disciples […]
