Thought for Today: “Let the Holy Spirit Flow” In Revelation chapter 22, something expanded my understanding of the Holy Spirit and the power to live this life for Jesus, to be His disciples. “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of … Read more

Thought for Today: “Heart Over Mind” It’s not what you know; it’s what you believe! Knowing the holiness of God, the children of Israel asked Moses to act as a mediator between them and God. They promised to do everything that God told Moses. And the Lord said, “They are right in all that they … Read more

Thanksgiving Thought: “An Attitude of Gratitude for Thanksgiving” George Washington’s 1782 Thanksgiving Proclamation emphasizes our nation’s dependence on the Lord God by crediting all victories and successes to Him. Our forefathers and founding fathers trusted the Bible, knowing its author was God. So, no matter what hardships they faced—some really tough stuff—they maintained an attitude … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Few the Faithful” God never leaves Himself without a witness on the earth. They are called “The Remnant.” While the word can mean leftovers or worthless scraps, God gives this title great value when it refers to those who believe in Jesus Christ and those who remain faithful during difficult times. … Read more

Thought For Today: “Deliverance: It’s Not Always From” When we think of God’s deliverance, we think of the great Exodus, where, through 10 plagues, God delivered the Jews from their Egyptian captivity.

Thanksgiving Thought: “A Thankful Heart for Thanksgiving” While “thanksgiving” may be on many people’s lips, in truth, it’s far from their hearts.

Thought For Today: “Don’t Lose Heart” When we feel abandoned and completely alone, remember that the Lord will never leave or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6, Hebrews 13:5).

Thought For Today: “Giving Thanks During Tough Times” When things don’t always go as planned, we can still be thankful, knowing that God is in control and will bring everything together for His good and glory. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the … Read more

Thought for Today: “Possessing the Promises” Are we truly taking possession of God’s promises? I’ve been studying how the tribes of Israel inherited the Promised Land. When it came to Ephraim, even though they received some of the best land, they didn’t fully take possession of it. It says, “They did not drive out the … Read more

Thought For Today: “A Heart Set on Fire” While we say we’d like to be, or even better, we want to be set on fire by God, the truth is that we fear it. And that’s natural. Just like when we smell smoke, see flames, and feel the heat of fire, there’s something inside that … Read more

Thought For Today: “Secret to God’s Promises” Behind God’s promises lies the foundation of our obedience. God gives His commandments, which, by the way, aren’t suggestions. They’re found in His word so we can live our lives to the fullest. And while God’s commandments may sometimes seem unfair and unreasonable, God always knows what’s best. … Read more

Thought for Today: “Surrounded by God’s Grace” God surrounds us with His grace when we extend His grace to others.

Thought for Today: “Entrust Yourself to God’s Care” “For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless, I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.” (2 Timothy 1:12) The Apostle Paul was telling his … Read more

Thought For Today: “A Grace Upgrade” When we understand God’s grace and properly apply it, our lives will experience a significant upgrade. Observe how the Bible describes this upgrade. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should … Read more

Thought For Today: “The Wounds of God’s Discipline” All of us carry wounds from our past. Not just the wounds of betrayal and abuse, but the wounds of love. Wounds that we want to forget, but wounds that are needed. These are wounds that God allows and even inflicts to remind us about His love … Read more

Thought For Today: “Wrongly Focused” We live in a nation that is growing spiritually darker by the minute. Wickedness is increasing. Perversions are multiplying. Morals are disappearing. And the nation is opposing the Bible along with Christians who hold to its truth. It’s hard to imagine how things could possibly get much worse. But it … Read more

Thought For Today: “Forgiveness is Unconditional” Forgiveness isn’t, “I’ll forgive you if…” Whenever we attach a condition to forgiveness it really isn’t forgiveness. Real forgiveness is unconditional, that is, forgiveness doesn’t place any conditions on the other person to forgive them. Forgiveness is never something that is earned. Nor is forgiveness something that others or … Read more

Thought for Today: “Forgiveness Freely Given” Jesus paid for our forgiveness with His life, and He offers the gift of forgiveness freely to all who come to the cross and believe. But the Lord doesn’t want us to take this gift of forgiveness and use it upon ourselves exclusively. Instead, He wants us to take … Read more

We … Read more

Thought For Today: “Church Attendance is a Blessing” With the advent of the COVID pandemic, a shift took place in our gathering together as a family of believers.
