What is prayer? As a child I learned prayer as ACTS = adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. So it should not all be just asking God for something. And it is not a one-way conversation with God to where we do all the talking, and he does all the listening, and to where it is all...
“’Can a man hide himself in hiding places so I do not see him?’ declares the Lord. ‘Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?’ declares the Lord.” (Jeremiah 23:24 NASB1995)
The land is full of adulterers. Their course is evil, and their might is not right. Prophet and priest and pastor are...
Loneliness and longing,
Feeling not belonging,
Fit not in the picture,
Wond’ring ‘bout the future?
Needing much endurance
And much of assurance
God is fully sovereign
O’er to Him belonging?
News brings much confusion,
With it much illusion.
Who then to be trusted?
Not those who’re corrupted...
Don’t trust in princes who rule in the world.
Don’t put your confidence in any earl.
Don’t make reliance on flesh what you do.
Test what you hear to be sure it is true.
Liars, deceivers, abound everywhere.
Many are trapped by them, caught unaware.
Think who they’re following is the right...
“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.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your keeper;
The Lord...
“Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised;
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are...
“Come, let us worship and bow down,
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.
Today, if you would hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
When your...
“And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it...
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that...
“Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous...
“But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is...
Walk by faith, and not by sight.
Let not your faith take a flight.
Walk with Jesus every day,
Doing all that He doth say.
Follow Jesus where He leads.
Daily on His Word do feed.
Be His witness, share the truth
With all living so uncouth.
Share the gospel with, as well,
Those who seem are...
“Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation...
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this...
Your will for us is to do what You say,
To bow before You and to kneel and pray,
To open our hearts to receive from You
Whatever You planned now for us to do.
Your will, O Lord, is my true heart’s desire,
To know what of me that You now require,
To follow You, Lord, now in all Your ways,
To...
“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
3 Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5 Who...
“Give me your heart, my son,
And let your eyes delight in my ways.
For a harlot is a deep pit
And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.
Surely she lurks as a robber,
And increases the faithless among men.” (Proverbs 23:26-28 NASB1995)
So many people today who have professed faith in Jesus...
Devoted to Christ, I will be on this earth,
So thankful to Him that He gave me new birth.
Surrendered to Him to now walk in His ways,
To follow His lead now throughout all my days.
Forgiven of sins, I now walk in His love,
As He gives me comfort from Heaven above.
I talk about Him and His...
