Philippians 1:5 I thank my God in all my remembrance of you … because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.   That verse was read to us on Sunday morning. Every verse is powerful in itself. But, in this instance, the who and the why and the where of the reading was powerful too.   It was read to us as part of our mission’s conference.…

In a sermon about fifty years ago, A.W. Tozer described people in a striking way. He spoke of men and women in these four categories – Those who are great and good (great as in an influential leader and good as in noble and honorable personally) Those who are neither great nor good (nobody counts them as famous and nobody counts them as good either) Those who are great…

We had a great church picnic yesterday, filled with love, joy, worship, fun, and bad rainy weather. The sermon was all about the Return of Christ as the hope of the church. Here are the four Scriptures from the sermon. Use them for your meditation this week.   Titus 2:11–14 [11] For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, [12] training us to…

  The Christian life is about drawing near to God. We are saved into fellowship with God, friendship with God, into wonderful communion with Him. To draw near to God is your greatest good. Do you  think about life like that? What if you did? Have you forgotten your reason for living? The chief end of man? What if you started remembering it? What if you lived in the…

Does God have you in a time of waiting? There are two ways to wait – impatiently or patiently, angrily or peacefully, anxiously or trustingly. Which one are you more familiar with? And how can you begin to wait more patiently?   Hebrews 6:15 And Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.   How can I wait more patiently?   “God is Sovereign and…
