“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7 Dear Ones: The age-old battle on this earth is that of the battle for the mind, for it is what the mind thinks that will dictate the life. No truer words were ever spoken than those by the Lord Jesus when He said: …
“Faithful is He that calls you who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Dear Ones: There is a concept of God declared in the Gospel which is of utmost importance if we would be motivated, and enabled, to appropriate Christ as our very PRESENT Savior. We see this concept in the Psalms, for God…

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me…” Luke 4:18 Dear Ones: One of the great doctrines of Scripture is the “omnipresence” of God, God being everywhere. David would even write on this subject: “If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall Thy…
“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Dear Ones: In Paul’s letter to the Romans, he writes concerning those who refuse to see the attributes of God in creation: “…when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL.” (Rom.…
“Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort.” Psalm 71:3 Dear Ones: I believe it was John Wesley who had such a hard time coming to grips with salvation by faith, and faith alone.
