The Debt of Love

24/02/2017 24/02/2017 Prayers

PassageRomans 13:8-10 PrayerDear Father, I owe love to my fellow man, as you have said. What an endless debt! How can I keep your command to love my neighbor as myself? What would it be like to live in a world where such unselfishness prevailed? Ah, it would be heaven on earth, therefore such behavior is a precondition of our heavenly inheritance.But Lord, be gentle in your judgment toward me. I fall so far short on this.

You Are Not An Orphan

24/02/2017 24/02/2017 Daily Wisdom

JOHN 14:18 NIV 18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. You are not facing life all alone -- no matter how you feel. Jesus is with you. He promised to never forsake you.

Why doesn't He help me sooner?" God desires faith and trust from us. Without testing times we would have no opportunity to show our fait..

Did Jesus Call a Woman a Dog?

23/02/2017 23/02/2017 Church & Theology

Follow @BrandonSmith85 On the Season 2 premiere of Word Matters, Trevin Wax and I discuss a question raised in Matthew 15, “Did Jesus call a woman a dog?” Here’s the context: 21 When Jesus left there, he withdrew to the area of Tyre and Sidon. 22 Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came and kept crying out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely tormented by a demon.” 23 Jesus did not say a word to her. His disciples approached him and urged him, “Send her away b..

Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. “Do you know Jesus”? I remember being asked that awkward question by the Jesus Freaks so many times before I became one of them. I used to wonder what in the world they were talking about. Most people associate the answer to that question to praying the sinner’s prayer then learning all kinds of information about how to improve our lives with lessons from the Bible and the life and teaching of Jesus. Of ..

Does God Test Us?

23/02/2017 23/02/2017 Daily Wisdom

Yes. But it's always an open-Book test. With the help of God's instruction Book -- the Bible -- you can always pass the test. 1 THESSALONIANS 2:4 NKJ 4 . . . even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who tests our hearts. God doesn't test you to hurt you, but so you can experience victory. He walks in faith and believes you will win every test.
