Thought For Today: “Fillability” “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18) Going back to the Greek language, this passage in Ephesians is written in the passive voice, which means that being filled with the Holy Spirit isn’t something we can do; rather it … Read more

Thought for Today: “Fixed” God wants us to fix our hearts squarely upon Him and quit allowing the circumstances that arise in our lives to blow us out of the water. David wasn’t one of those fair weathered believers that when things don’t go their way they get blown away. The seed was planted deep … Read more

Thought for Today: “Get Up And Move” We have to stop being comfortable where we are as Christians and as a church and move to where God wants us to be.

Thought For Today: “What Fuel Are You Using?” Whatever type of fuel that we put into our cars determines not only the car’s performance but also whether we end up arriving at our destination or broken down on the side of the road because the wrong type of fuel was put in. The same goes … Read more

Thought for Today: “Who’s Searching Us” There is a truism that says, “It’s better to be searched by God than by man.” And this is usually because God is both gracious and merciful, human beings not so much.

Thought for Today: “What The Church Needs” I remember that song from Dionne Warwick, “What the World Needs Now.” And the song goes on to answer is “Love, sweet love.

Thought for Today: “What is Faithfulness?” Faithfulness isn’t about how much you do, but rather it’s about how much God has you.

Thought For Today: “God’s Kingdom Has Come” Jesus said, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.” (Mark 1:15a) Jesus didn’t say that the Kingdom of God was about to come; instead, He said that it had come. In other words, a Kingdom is wherever the King is! Jesus is the … Read more

Thought for Today: “Safe In God” To his dismay, David had mistakenly trusted in his prosperity, but then came the reality that only in God can we trust, only in God can we be safe. David had come through a harrowing sickness that just about took his life where all he had come to trust … Read more

Thought For Today: “Judging God’s Grace” Judging people based upon their past is to judge that God’s grace isn’t sufficient for their present and future.

Thought for Today: “Hang In There” Are any of you at this point like King David? “Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled… My soul also is greatly troubled. I am weary with my groaning; all night I make my bed swim. I … Read more

Thought For Today: “The World’s Only Hope” We are living in a world that is going downhill fast. It’s full of trouble and confusion. The problem is that it’s been trying to deal with and solve the problems that have existed from the very beginning in and with our own understanding. The only problem with … Read more

Thought For Today: “God Gave It All” God gave His Son, Jesus, for sinners. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) God gave His Word, the Bible, for direction. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is … Read more

Thought for Today: “A Cleansing is Needed” As the Protestant church is getting further and further away from the truth of God’s word, accepting instead the norms and morals of our society, it is becoming more and more obvious that a thorough cleansing is needed. But how is this cleaning to be accomplished? It’s not … Read more

Thought for Today: “Heart Over Mind” It’s not what you know; rather it’s what you believe! Knowing the holiness of God, the children of Israel asked Moses to mediate between them and God.

Thought For Today: “Quality over Quantity” With God it’s all about quality, not quantity! “The Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples.” (Deuteronomy 7:7) The church and Christians are tempted to look at … Read more

Thought for Today: “You Can’t Saw Sawdust” You can’t saw sawdust; it’s already been sawed. You can’t change the past, so quit dwelling on it. Instead start dwelling upon Christ and the future He has for your life. The Apostle Paul had a past, one that he couldn’t change. In his zealousness for the Law … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Promised Presence” God promised that He would not discipline the children of Israel forever in their deportation and captivity to the Babylonians; not because of anything they did, but rather God was going to do it for His holy name’s sake, a name that they had defiled (Ezekiel 36:21-23). In the … Read more
