While in prison for the gospel the Apostle Paul wrote, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content”. I believe that contentment is the true key to thanksgiving. If we are only thankful in response to circumstances that we view as pleasing then I am not sure if we are truly thankful...

The third reality of Experiencing God is “God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.” Throughout Scripture we find God inviting men and women, nations and individuals to join Him, to trust Him, to follow Him and to be loved by Him. It seems that for as many invitations as God gives...

In John 3:16 Jesus is famously quoted, “For God so loved the world that He gave . . .” The love of God has never been about a feeling, a desire or an emotion, God’s love has always been defined by action. He loved the world so much that He gave His Son. In His...

No one has ever been more focused on God, His will and His ways than Jesus. He made it very clear that the Father was always at work and that His task as the Son was to simply watch, listen and obey (John 5). For us, the Body of Christ, to truly be available to...

I believe I receive more prayer requests pertaining to “being in God’s will” than any other single topic. It seems that many of us have taken the promise of purpose and turned it into a fear of somehow “missing God’s will”. The will of God is not a maze to be maneuvered or a mystery...

The work of God is always this way, He moves and people react. The difficulty is when we try to anticpate the reaction. We all react according to what is in...

In Exodus 3 Moses asked God an interesting question, “When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?'” Somehow Moses knew that Israel, in their slavery and...

The amazing thing about Jesus is that He is constantly showing us more of Himself. As we come to stages of our lives in which we are secure in Him, in what He has done for us, in who He is in our lives, He takes the initiative to show us even more of His...

Romans 5 declares that “hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Our hope is not in outcomes, in opportunities or our own understanding. Our hope must be built by the fact that the Holy Spirit has been...
