How to Live in Perilous Times, Hab 3:18
There is no question that the world is in perilous times. And the topic among Christians often concerns how to live in perilous times.

In My Days, 2 Ki 20:16-19
In My Days When Isaiah prophesied to Hezekiah what the Babylonians would do to his house and his sons, Hezekiah replied, “Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days”? His response reveals a selfish attitude that as long as I have peace and truth in my days, it’s okay. It’s like […]

Bear Fruit
If we do not reproduce ourselves and bear fruit we will die out.

Pray for Others, 1 Sam 12:23
As a judge in Israel, Samuel considered the failure to pray for others in Israel a sin. Samuel said, “God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you…” [1 Sam 12:23]. Perhaps, it is not a sin if we don’t pray for others, but Samuel surely considered the failure […]
Then Will I Hear, 2 Chr 7:14
We have heard much preaching on 2 Chr 7:14. The part of the verse I like is… then will I hear. God said that, if they do four things, then will I hear. The four things are these: humble themselves, pray, seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. The verse is specifically aimed […]
