What God requires He will supply. -Bro. Canter This morning in class, we had a discussion about the first Passover. Bro. Canter told us that there were at the very least one million Israelites at that time, and possibly up to three or four million. In His mercy, God had provided a means of escapingContinue reading “Always Enough”

Overwhelmed with my Creator
The crashing waves and the boisterous winds of this life can easily overwhelm the weary pilgrim. This morning in choir devotions, I began to listen as prayer request after prayer request was lifted up to the Lord. Lost loved ones, illnesses, discouragement, family situations. As the list grew, I felt myself become increasingly distressed. ThereContinue reading “Overwhelmed with my Creator”

The Simple Complexity of the Gospel
We’ve turned salvation into just a prayer. -Phil Moreino The Gospel. It’s the good news. It’s a six letter word that changes everything. It’s salvation and justification. Sanctification. Grace. Mercy. Consecration. Hope. Love. Life.

Bleeding Hearts and Bloody Hands

His parents aren’t mentioned. We aren’t told if he was an educated man or not. WasContinue reading “Bleeding Hearts and Bloody Hands”
Walking in Victory
“Walk.” A simple enough concept. One foot in front of the other. One step at a time. Easy. But not for this man. No, he’d never experienced that before. Lame from birth, walking had never been an option for him. He understood the process. He’d watched others walk all his life. In fact, sitting inContinue reading “Walking in Victory”
Dining with the King
So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet. 2 Samuel 9:13 Picture this with me. You’re a visitor at the royal court, dining in the royal hall. As dinner approaches you excitedly head for the dining room to await the arrival ofContinue reading “Dining with the King”
