"There are going to be times when we don’t feel like praising God. The truth, however, is that it is good for us to worship.

"Every day we are faced with multiple decisions about how to act and react. I often say
that it is easy to act like a Christian but harder to react like a Christ-follower. Reactions happen fast, so they often reveal what we are really like. It’s much easier for us when we have time to think about...

"When we study the Bible, the Holy Spirit helps us gain the mind of Christ. This helps us hear the words of God properly and gain the most understanding from them.

"War is horrible. When sin comes to the front of society and men have ignored God, we have war. The Apostle Paul told the Church at Corinth to keep their personal desires in check.

"Today we love and desire the freedom to do what we want, when we want, but that attitude and approach to life can be devastating––not just for you but others, too. When we make our own decisions all the time, in every way, people end up suffering and perishing. Freedom is never free. True freedo...

"Jesus Christ is the Word of God, and the Bible is His Word. It is the LORD speaking to people yesterday and today and tomorrow. There is a reason why it may seem hard for us to read and heed it. Satan the enemy of our soul does not want us getting close to
the LORD Jesus Christ. This is his only...

"God created good things for us to experience in our lives, and many of these things bring us joy and pleasure. However, we were never meant to spend our lives pursuing pleasure.

"The Bible says that the best way to have a long life is to learn wisdom. There are a lot of ways that we seek longevity today – exercise, diet, medication, surgeries, science – but a good long life begins with God’s wisdom.

"What we believe affects how we behave, and how we behave affects how people see us––our character, lifestyle, and reputation.

"Whatever the nation pays for with its tax money shows what is important to that nation. But we don’t always have a say in those decisions. As Christians, we are simply called to “render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's” ( L U K E 2 0 : 2 5 ) . This mea...

"He was the man whom God had anointed, or set apart, for the wisdom of God. And even though Solomon had the wisdom, he did not gain the heart for God as his father David had.

"One of the biggest problems with those who have rejected the idea of God is their lack of an answer for the God-shaped void in their heart. Every human being is spiritual as well as physical.

"The Hebrew title Shir Hashirim comes from Song of Solomon 1:1, “The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.” The Song of Solomon is a love song written by King Solomon to celebrate the love between him and his bride.

"How do we think God communicates His love to us? This is a great question because we have no reference for God's love outside of our life. When we exit this life and enter into eternity, we will have a whole set of new experiences to consider as God expresses His love to us. An important questio...

"Although the book of Isaiah was written in the past, it is about the future. That is why it is called prophecy. Prophecy is defined as the foretelling of what is to come.
