We have been studying the whole armor of God on Wednesday nights. To date, we have discussed the helmet of salvation, which protects us from carnality, fear and pride.  The breastplate of righteousness protects us from unrighteousness and sin.  The girdle of truth protects us against the lies of the...

Ps 19:1-14 is a wonderful Psalm magnifying the work of God’s words.  The first six verses tell of the work of the words [Ps 19:4] of the creation of the Lord, in which the invisible things of him are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made [Rom...

According to Acts 20:35, Paul told the elders of Ephesus that Jesus said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”  Paul had personally experienced the truth of this verse.  Paul was a minister of the gospel.  As such, “the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should...

Our text is Ps 37:4, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”  Do you ever wonder how God calls individuals into the ministry?  I know how he called me.  My call started with a desire. Perhaps by studying a few passages...
