    While the Promise Still Stands

    Hebrews 4:1-7 ESV Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who...

    The New Covenant

THOUGH, IT BACKFIRED ON ME. I was in a happy state of mind, then suddenly the same thought of making...

    John 14:1-4 NIV “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

    Psalm 37 -- Promises To Stand On In A Time Of Trouble

    1 Fret not thyself because of evil-doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. Right now we have lots of evil doers. We have evil doers in the government who are being prosecuted and convicted of crimes. We have evil doers who are in Russia trying to influence our...

    prayer request to fulfill god's promises

    There are promises in the bible that convince me that God can do what I want. Some people think God can't do a desire of mine, which contradicts God's promises of "anything's possible with God" and "God gives us our heart's desires", but I know God really can. I been praying over and over asking...

    Do We Mean What We Say?

    Luke 9:57-58 ESV As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Do you remember the words of Peter that he said to Jesus...

    The Arrow That Flies

    Psalm 91:1-2 ESV He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Another word for “dwell” is “abide” or “live,” and Jesus said if we abide (continue, remain, stay) in...

    God Is!!

    Does God exist? That is, does He have being? Yes! But the Bible (KJV) never uses the term 'exist' (or 'exists') when referring to God. It says, quite simply, that God 'is' (eg. Hebrews 11:6). This term goes far beyond the mention of God as a mere being. It is equivalent to the great I AM THAT...
