Friends do not let God's good pleasure, in any matter, scare you away or harden your hearts in anger. Rather, let His good pleasure mold your heart to His—let it help you see the greatness of who God ...

Wrath. The word alone instills fear and creates an image of someone on a warpath exacting revenge on all their enemies. There are no warm fuzzies here. No hallmark moments. If the wrath of a human can...

God has no shortage of names--He is called by almost 1000 different ones in the Bible. But one of these names stands alone, and that name is Yahweh. Before we get into what the name “Yahwe...

Prayer is powerful. God is all heart, and He knows ours fully. Prayer is an intimate connection with our Creator, who hears us and loves us. Jesus sacrificed His life to forever open up the lines of c...

The hope we have is that God’s Word gives us everything we need to fight against the fears that seem to come at us at the most inconvenient times. We do not have to live riddled with anxious thoughts,...

If we take a look at Psalm 118, he is able to put such resolute trust in God because he recognizes a fact - God is trustworthy. Why? God is good. ...

We must not mistake God’s patience for His grace. A person who continues in sinful habits without experiencing immediate judgment may falsely reason there will be no consequences. Though God is incred...

We must see that the whole story of the universe, the story of the cross, is the ultimate work of God’s divine intervention and plan. He is always initiating, engaging, adjusting, and personally playi...

I have often struggled with the passages in the Bible that talk about God making us into NEW creations; verses that tell us that God is doing a NEW thing. I often wonder to myself, why isn’t He doing ...

The Bible tells us God’s presence is everywhere and He is with us, yet we can still struggle to understand He is near us at all times. Sometimes it feels like God is far away – that He is no closer th...
