“And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,… Continue reading Even the Unclean Spirits

The Sin of Rebellion
We tend to see rebellion only in children. As adults, we easily minimize rebellion to “mistakes.” However, God has a lot to say about rebellion. We must take this seriously. It is a sin and it will hinder our prayers. I want to start by saying that isolated mistakes and sins are not the same… Continue reading The Sin of Rebellion
God’s Call On Our Lives
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9.) “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto… Continue reading God’s Call On Our Lives
Silly Women
“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,” (2 Timothy 3:6.) The beginning of this chapter speaks of how people will act as we get closer to the coming of Christ. We are told of perilous times. We know that… Continue reading Silly Women
Living Abundantly Through Godly Speech
The Bible has much to say about your words. Once the words leave your mouth or you hit send on a text, they can’t be taken back. Your speech can encourage others or tear them down. You can praise God and His doings or deny Him and take the praise for yourself. Proverbs 15:1 says,… Continue reading Living Abundantly Through Godly Speech
Be a Servant
Being a Servant The Greek word for servant is doulos, pronounced doo’-los. This word is the same as slave. It is to be under the rule or authority of someone else. In our present society, the use of the word slave never carries a positive meaning. We have done all we can to eradicate slavery,… Continue reading Be a Servant
Trusting God With Your Children
As a mother, accepting that we aren’t in control is very difficult. During pregnancy you get to keep that precious child with you at all times. But the day comes when the baby is born, and suddenly, everything is a threat. You begin to worry about car accidents, sickness, falls, someone being mean to your… Continue reading Trusting God With Your Children
The Lame Man
I recently read Acts chapter 3 during my devotions and saw the lame man differently. If you are familiar with this story, the man was lame from birth. Later, we read that he was over 40 years old (Acts 4:22). Can you imagine being 40 years old and never standing or walking on your own?… Continue reading The Lame Man
Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
I have been reading through the Old Testament for about a year now. The recurring theme is man’s sin, God’s grace, and redemption. Yes, there are lots of warnings and judgments, too, but we constantly see the Israelites straying from God. Their sin was idolatry. We all worship something. Idolatry started back in the Garden… Continue reading Why We Are Drawn To Idolatry
Fear the Lord
Do you fear the Lord? Many of us need a better understanding of what it even means to fear the Lord. Often, people think that since God is love, we have no reason to fear Him. This is true, but only when we misuse the word fear. We will see that we fear Him because… Continue reading Fear the Lord
