We have all come to a crossroad in life where it is necessary to make a decision to go one way or the other. Some people seek the will of the Lord in the matter, while others make hasty decisions only to regret it later. Consider this: Proverbs 14:15–16 (ESV) — 15 The simple believes […]

We live in a day when judgment is made regarding the success by the size of accomplishment albeit in numbers, income, or accomplishments.

The security of the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ is described in a variety of ways, but none so strong as a fortress as found in Romans 8:34. Romans 8:34 (ESV) — 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand […]
