The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16 We know that an earthly father wouldn't give his son a snake instead of a fish, or a stone instead of bread. The now much better will our heavenly father treat us? Sometimes, though the bread that He give us seems like a...

But without faith it is impossible to please Him for he who comes to God must believe the He is, and that He is a rewarded of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 America lives a 3-P lifestyle: Pepsi, pizza, and pleasure. In light of the large number and variety of restaurants today, it...

I don't understand everything either, but we have to remember that God sees all things and our vision is limited. He knows best.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Titus 1:16 Matthew 23 gives a striking portrayal of how severely Jesus denounce hypocrisy. He was tender and compassionate to repentant sinners, to the sick and...

""Do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward." Hebrews 10:35 There is an old adage that says, "Don't bit off more than you can chew." It's wise not to take on more responsibilities than we can handle. At some time, however, we will likely feel overwhelmed by the size and...

Trollish, I like that.

Amen!!

First, didn't the woman have a name? Wasn't her name Eve? That verse is a curse on woman and Jesus death on the cross broke the curses when we become Christians.

How true that is. We just never seem to be able to give it all up to the Lord. He has totally forgiven us but we can't forgive ourselves.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1 The elephant is the largest land animal on earth--and one of the most powerful. Yet it takes only a strong rope to restrain one. Here's how it works. When the elephant is young, he is tied to a large tree. For...
