Your attitude matters. It can determine whether or not you receive a blessing from God. We see this when Jesus visited Nazareth. Although He had performed many miracles in neighboring towns, the people of Nazareth criticized and belittled Jesus. Because of their lack of respect and honor, they missed out on the mighty works God wanted to do for them…

The Spirit Of Honor

Everyone on earth has sinned and deserves eternal separation from God. We all face a gaping chasm we are unable to bridge on our own—the chasm between a holy God and a sinful human. In the Old Testament, two goats and a “fit man” were needed to provide temporary forgiveness of sin. What was the role of the fit man? What does the fit man mean to us today? When you understand the fit man, your life changes forever…

Cross Fit

Our attitudes and actions spring from our thoughts. Every good or bad thing we do started as a thought in our minds. Just as one unchecked evil thought led King David to become a liar, an adulterer, and a murderer, one unchecked evil thought can lead us on a path to destruction. How is your thought life? What kinds of thoughts fill your mind? Changing how you think could change your entire life…

Beware Of The Traveler

Jesus said there is a real place called heaven. Heaven is taught repeatedly throughout the Bible. Yes, we are blessed and victorious here on earth, but this life isn’t all there is. There’s a place where all sorrow, sickness, and death ends and we live in a city whose builder and maker is God. Have you lost sight of heaven while focusing on the things of earth? Does the thought of heaven cause you to rejoice? Are you building your life more on the temporary than the eternal?

Come Up Here

Elkanah was an ordinary man used by God in extraordinary ways. His name meant, “God-possessed,” and he was totally committed to God. Because he was God-possessed, his family experienced miracles, his church was revived, and his nation turned back to God. What could happen if you totally surrendered to God? How would your family change if you were God-possessed? God can use one ordinary person to bring extraordinary change…

A God-Possessed Generation

Whether we recognize it or not, spiritual warfare is being waged all around us. The Lord has declared war against the powers of darkness. We know victory is assured, but we may not realize God expects each of us to do our part to win the battle. Idleness is not an option. Neutrality is not an option. Everyone must choose a side. Have you made your choice? What are you doing to advance the kingdom of God? Are you a spectator or a warrior?

When God Declares War

Sometimes we think we’re waiting on the Lord when He’s actually waiting on us. When we face problems, trials, or adversity, God already has a plan in place to bring victory out of that situation. But His plan involves action on our part. God used Shamgar, a farmer with an ox goad, to bring a mighty victory. He wants to use you in the same way—right now, just like you are, and right where you are. What do you have that God can use? Are you being obedient to God’s direction in your life? Are you waiting for God to do something when it’s actually you who needs to take action?

Three Success Secrets Of Shamgar

You may have heard someone say that salvation is the greatest miracle of all. Yet sometimes we take God’s gift of salvation for granted. It becomes common to us instead of exciting or amazing. In Acts 10:15, God says what God has cleansed must not be called common. When God cleanses a heart from sin, it is a supernatural miracle. After salvation, His grace continues to fill our lives with abundant blessing. Has His blessing become common to us? Or are we still filled with awe and amazement at what He has done in our lives?
