More of God means less of You or I, this is the challenge! Most of the time I don't necessarily think we need more of God, we need more obedience to God! To get closer to God we have to go His way, He first works death in us! Think about the heart like a cup of water filled to the rim, and mixed in there is some engine oil. You can't put more…

I'm always looking for a quick answer from God so I can spend as little time worrying about things as possible. The problem is that leaves me no fuel to fellowship with if my problems are resolved instantly. I think he really wants me to learn to rest in his presence, and patience and learning is never easy…

Whenever you are doing what God has called you to do, it is important to rely on His strength, His grace, and His power to complete your task. You will become frustrated if you try to make things happen on your own strength instead of relying on God. God is the author and finisher of His plans (…

Thank you brother Velazquez for your kindness in supplying me with links to different groups I might look at within the site. I could learn a lot in all of them. Nadie es perfecto, ni mucho menos, yo. It has taken me literally over 20 years of being what I thought was a Christian to even begin to trust in my heart the Lord Jesus. He let me taste and see that He is good but it didn't sink down into my heart just HOW very good the Lord is (and faithful and holy as well). I am still a poor…

What are you praying for? Are you asking God to give you more stuff--a bigger house, a new car, a bigger salary? What you pray for indicates what is important to you.

It is a great lesson…

There are far too many Christians who live two different lives: one on the inside, another on the outside; one Sunday morning, another the rest of the week.

Such people are hypocrites,…

Below is for someone needing a little mid-day prayer.....

Dear Father in Heaven

We thank you for this lunchtime meal,

allowing respite during the miday ordeal.

The day is half over and has become so hectic,

We pray that we remember to You we must stick.

We thank you for this time together

Please help us to always love one another.

We thank you for this precious time

And pray that the rest of the day is more…

Be bold.
