    Speak All the Words of Life

    Many signs and wonders were being done by the apostles, and people were bringing their sick and afflicted to the apostles for healing, but the high priest and the Sadducees were filled with jealousy, so they arrested the apostles and they put them in public prison. Acts 5:19-21 ESV “But during...

    Faithful in Christ Jesus

    Ephesians 1:1-2 ESV “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” As we read through this passage of Scripture today I want us to pay close...

    According to The Will of God

    Romans 8:26-27 ESV “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the...

    I Appeal to You, my Brothers and Sisters

    Romans 12:1 ESV “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” “Worship” is a word that is loosely used within most gatherings of what is called “church.” At least here in...

    To All Who Obey Him

    Hebrews 5:7-9 ESV “In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made...

    Adopted as His Children

    Ephesians 1:1-2 ESV “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Who are the saints? They are those of us who are set apart by (or for) God to...

    But for the Will of God

    1 Peter 4:1-2 ESV “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.” This is very...

    I Delight to Do Your Will

    I read in the Scriptures: “In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: I delight to do your will, O my...

    According to the Purpose of His Will

    Ephesians 1:11-14 ESV “In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard...

    Oh Father I ask, Please make my trees fruitful, May I add to Your garden, Let them be useful. Oh Father I ask, Please guide my pen, May my words point to You, In Your direction. Oh Father I ask, Please use my hands, As extensions of You, They’re Yours to command. Oh Father I ask, Lift my...

    The Mystery of His Will

    Ephesians 1:1-2 ESV “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” The teachings here are addressed to the saints, specifically to those who are in...

    Self-Will Versus The Will Of God In Christ

    I believe that using the word free, as in free will, is a misnomer. I would suggest that there is self-will and God's Will. Exercising self-will, which I am convinced by decades of experience that all Christians slip into occasionally and drift to "the left hand or the right", need the...

    The Glory that is to Be Revealed

    Our Present Sufferings Romans 8:18 ESV “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” While we still live on this earth in flesh bodies we will have sickness, sadness, and suffering of all kinds. Some of it will be...

    To Do Your Will

    Hebrews 10:4-10 ESV For it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken...

    Our Daily Practice

    A Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1 ESV “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” This appeal here is much stronger than just a mere request. Thus, it is not simply a...

    Hymn: Have Thine Own Way, Lord

    The Lord Jesus put this on my heart to sing this evening in a prayer to the Lord. It would be a good prayer for us who believe in Jesus to pray to him right now. Have Thine Own Way, Lord Words by Adelaide A. Pollard, 1907 Music by George C. Stebbins, 1907 Have Thine own way, Lord! Have...
