'Quiet Time' from Kasia Kedzia
 

Two Steps Forward and One Step Back
Often times in a given situation we know what the right thing to do is and we do it, but the question is why. I recently began to recognize the difference between doing the right thing because I intellectually know it is the right thing to do versus doing the right thing out of a deep desire to please and know God. When… [read more]

When Jesus Speaks To His Disciples He is Clear And Specific
In Luke Chapter 22 at verse 7, Jesus asks Peter and John to go and prepare the Passover Meal. Jesus is aware of all that is going on, and the meeting place is to be kept as secret as possible. Jesus has to have one last evening with His disciples, and until the teaching has been given, nothing and no-one will be allowed… [read more]

In the World But Not of It
It is not easy being in a fallen, corrupt world, especially as believers.  Temptations are everywhere, persecution is on the increase, and those who hate Jesus continue to multiply.  Even Lot, who was not the most shining Christian example, testified to just how oppressing and tormenting it was to be around the… [read more]

Knowing And Growing
Pure objectivity in growing is practically impossible, even for the deeply converted Christian. All that is spoken, written, or thought is passed through the prism and filter of personal experience, shaped within a fallen world, inherited from one generation to another, and ruled by an invisible entity. All is shaded, colored,… [read more]

Lessons Learned in the Dry Place—Part 3 of 4
 God is Sovereign—what does that mean?  When someone says that “God is sovereign”, what do you think of?  Do you think of someone who is able to do what he wills and wishes without the interference of anyone?  I think that is a good definition of the word.  In my dry place, this… [read more]

Where in the world do you see God?
That question was asked in the Studylight forums this past week. It is a very thought provoking question. What declares God in this world? David tells us that His handiwork declares Him in Psalm 19. Isaiah reminds us that we are his handiwork in chapter 64. Paul talks about the testimony of the world and the universe… [read more]

Galatians: Paul accepted by the apostles
I find this passage fascinating. It details Paul's Christian walk after he'd been preaching the gospel for about 17 years. 'Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me. I went up because of a revelation and set before them (though privately before those l… [read more]

Are You “…being transformed into His likeness…”? 2 Corinthians 3:18
       The seriousness of this attempt and the effort needed to achieve it is indicated by several scriptures. “Those who belong to Jesus Christ have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.” Gal. 5:24 “I have been crucified with Christ, and I… [read more]

There Is No Substitute
It's December. The air is colder. The rain is coming much too frequently. The wind is much too brisk. This is not golf weather. What does a person, whose only weekly distraction is golf, do with himself when he cannot play golf? When I figure that out I'll let you know. No, seriously, I have no idea. There are… [read more]

'Today's Little Lift' from Jim Bullington
 

The Root of the Trees (Luke 3.9)
To say that John the baptizer was different might be a contender for the greatest understatement of all time. Today’s message will explore some of the things that distinguished John from other biblical messengers. In addition, we will suggest some practical reasons for these differences as well as make an application… [read more]
