Principles in Nehemiah

Next week in Drawing Near to God’s Bible study series we will begin our study of Nehemiah. Nehemiah was quite the leader! We have so much to learn concerning his boldness, discernment, handling opposition and his unfailing tenacity against all odds. But above all, we see in him a leader that turned to God first […]

Temporary, False Peace

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3   Any peace that we have apart from God’s peace is temporary and fleeting. God’s peace is dependent on our trusting in Him alone: You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he […]

His Presence Goes Before Us

And the Lord said, I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. Exodus 33:19   Moses asked the Lord […]

God’s Grace Gifts

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; it if is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, […]

A Call to Persevere

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart […]

Dreaming with God

Consider this statement with me for a minute as we Make Space for God together on this beautiful Monday morning: Every dream must have a plan. Do you have a dream? Do you sense that God is calling you to do something, shift your path, and follow your dreams? I recall listening to a speaker […]

God Works for Good

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28   I believe there is no passage of Scripture that has been more comforting for believers during trials than Romans 8:28. The verdict is out. We live in […]
