The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:16 Sometimes it can be hard to know if the voice we are hearing is God’s voice. There are many things we can know without fail that they are of God because they are in the Word. But what about things that don’t have chapter and verse? Things like where to live, where to work, who to marry, and more. How do we hear Him then? One important thing to...

Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4 The other day I heard a preacher say “God works the night shift!” and I thought how true that is! I have not had a full night’s sleep in many months. It has been frustrating to say the least. I go to sleep right away, but every night, somewhere between 1am and 3 am, I wake up. I am awake for at least one hour, though it is usually for two to three hours;...

Spending time alone with God is one way you can get to know Him and know that He is good! Seeking Him early each day will cause your day to be blessed and prosperous.

Dave and I...

So many are in turmoil about the upcoming election.  Many are baffled to learn that fellow Christians are aligning with the liberal, socialistic, anti-Christian agenda.  They are also in shock to hear that some Christians have decided not to vote at all because they don’t like the more conservative (though not fully conservative) candidate.  They say things like “I have to vote my conscience”.  Let me ask you, would a true...
