by Rebekah Beene This week we will be having a family funeral. I’ve been processing this incident since Friday. It’s been very hard. Danny’s precious cousin lost her life at the hands of someone masquerading as a friend. She walked into heaven, not as a special needs woman of 66 years, not as […]

by Jim Hughes Prov. 26:20 Fire goes out for lack of fuel, and quarrels disappear when gossip stops. In order to keep a fire going, you have to keep feeding it. In order to keep an argument going, you have to keep feeding it. Quarrels are unavoidable. We have different opinions on a […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Thy LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up” (1 Samuel 2:7). All my changes come from Him who never changes. If I had grown rich, I should have seen His hand in it, and I should have praised Him; let me equally see […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “The LORD God will help me” (Isaiah 50:7). These are in prophecy the words of Messiah in the day of His obedience unto death, when He gave His back to the smiters and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair. He was confident in divine support […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat” (Leviticus 22:11). Strangers, sojourners, and servants upon hire were not to eat of holy things. It is so in spiritual […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “I wilt give you the sure mercies of David” (Acts 13:34). Nothing of man is sure; but everything of God is so. Especially are covenant mercies sure mercies, even as David said “an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure.” We are sure that the Loci meant His […]

by Staci Stallings It’s amazing to me how different life looks if you ever bother to look at more than the outside surface of things. In our world today we’re all so busy, and we get so caught up in doing things and getting things and having things that we forget what’s really important. What’s really important […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in Me, saith the LORD” (Jeremiah 39:18). Behold the protecting power of trust in God. The great men of […]
