Press On

Spiritual maturity is growing in the Lord. The Bible says we go from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). As we read His word and spend time with Him in prayer, we get stronger in Him and we learn more of His will, which then creates spiritual maturity in us. We, humbly, thank God that

Can We See the Forest?

You-can’t-see-the-forest-for-the-trees means that we sometimes cannot see situations as they really are while we are in the midst of them. In short, we lose our perspective when we are too heavily invested in a particular situation, approach, organization, etc. A  ‘can’t See the forest for the trees’ Christian is one who lets worldly things interfere in doing

Dear Father

Abba means dear Father in Aramaic. How precious is this name of God? Abba is pronounced AB-ba. 2 Corinthians 6:18 NKJV “I will be a Father to you,And you shall be My sons and daughters,Says the Lord Almighty.” Matthew 6:9 NKJV In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

Condemnation or Conviction

Condemnation leads to death. Satan goes around accusing and condemning (Revelation 12:10). It is his goal to hurt all of God’s children. He wants to destroy us (1 Peter 5:8).

Do Not Be Deceived

Watch for those spreading false doctrine. Some people are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are deceivers. Jesus said don’t let anyone deceive you (Matthew 24:2). Do not be tossed around with different winds of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). We will not experience the peace that comes only from Jesus (John 14:27) if we are not rooted

Morals and Values

What is lacking in our homes, schools, society and governments today are morals and values, a code of conduct, a code of ethics. We need to be taught right from wrong. The best place to start is in our homes and with God’s word. Some say we are under grace, so we do not have
