Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-2). I recently read a book entitled… well, I’ll just show you the cover… What’s The […]

Psalm 92 has a simple success formula for living life. Worship! This Psalm describes life with God… But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon (v. 12, NLT). Also, Psalm 92 depicts life without God… Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be

It is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent (Philippians 1:9-10, ESV). The evil spirits of this age specialize in confusion and distraction. Guaranteed, if you have something important to do today, even knowing that you have a task assigned by

As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach good news!” (Romans 10:15, ESV) During a recent trip to the Philippines, I was talking to Pastor Philip Lim, and he said, “Yeah, the village that we visited was 11 river crossings away.” In

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth (vv. 1-2, NASB1995). My son-in-law has what they now call “long-haul COVID” – or persistent symptoms that linger long after the initial infection. In his case, he’s had a headache almost constantly for nine months after

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13, ESV). The Greek word for hope can also be translated as “expectation.” All of us will grieve. Paul writes to the brothers and sisters in Thessalonica that when
And the very hairs on your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30, ESV). I was recently listening to a speaker who said that God told him, “If it is important to you, then it is important to Me.” I haven’t been able to get this thought from my mind. It has ignited my prayers. If
