For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice. Psalm 95:3-7

Moses spent 40 years in the desert before God raised him up to lead Israel out of Egypt. As soon as God delivered Israel from bondage in Egypt he took them into the desert. David did a lot of desert time hiding out from Saul before God made him king. ?And the Spirit drove Jesus into the desert after his baptism for 40 days.

The miracle of the resurrection, described in the Bible, is the most important miracle of the Christian faith. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the first Easter morning, he showed people that the hope he proclaimed in his Gospel message was real, and so was God's power at work in the world, believers say.

Every year on Good Friday, Christians take time to meditate on the depth of Jesus’ sacrifice for us in suffering a humiliating, bloody death by crucifixion. It’s a time to dwell on what Jesus suffered for us, in all its pain and intensity, without rushing straight ahead to the good news of Easter, resurrection, and new life.

When God called Moses, he had actually chosen a strong candidate to be Israel’s deliverer. For the previous 40 years, Moses had led sheep through the very wilderness God wanted Israel to escape through. That meant he knew the terrain, the mountain passes, and the watering holes. As a herder of sheep, he knew something about managing unruly crowds. And, as a former son of Pharaoh, he had learned how to read and write legal documents and set up a government. The burning bush should have been Moses...

“Is life worth living?” To scores of people life has ceased to be worth living. To all of you I have good news. God did not create you to be a defeated, discouraged, frustrated, wandering soul, seeking in vain for peace of heart and peace of mind. He has bigger plans for you. He has a larger orb and a greater life for you. The answer to your problem, however great, is as near as your Bible, as simple as first-grade arithmetic, and as real as your heartbeat.

It’s about taking the focus off yourself and what you can do in your God time (like praying and Bible reading) and letting Him move how He wants to. Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, NIV). When we spend time with Him, we find a place of rest.

His footsteps our pathway; what is the pathway for the believer laid out in Psalm 85? It is marvelous! To summarize— 1. The path of favor (vss. 1 and 3); In the gospel is favor. He has made known to us his salvation. Merciful and kind favor so undeserved! In His favor, all His wrath is gone toward us forever because of the cross–“You have taken away ALL your wrath and turned from Your fierce anger.” The redemption of the cross did this permanently for us. Now favor is ours always every moment– f...

No podemos confiar en alguien que no conocemos, y ese es el secreto de aprender a confiar en Dios. Cuando alguien dice, "Confía en mí," tenemos una de dos reacciones. Podemos decir, "Sí, yo confiaré en te", o podemos decir, "¿Por qué debo hacerlo?" En el caso de Dios, confiando en Él sigue naturalmente cuando entendemos por qué deberíamos hacerlo.

As Christians we are called to “be still” at times. I find it fascinating that there are several moments in scripture where Jesus is among crowds and shortly after you find him taking a time out. Time to be with the Father. In Mark 1:34 Jesus was healing diseases. In Mark 1:35, “very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” Timeout!

We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know this. 3If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe.

All Christians suffer. Either you have, you are, or you will — “through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22). This reality is a stark reminder that we have not reached the new heavens and new earth. The New Jerusalem of no tears and no pain, of no mourning and no death, hasn’t arrived yet (Revelation 21:1, 4). But just because we experience suffering as we await the redemption of our bodies, it doesn’t mean that our suffering is random or without purpose. And neither ...

Paul quotes Isaiah 40:13 and then makes a statement concerning all believers: “We have the mind of Christ.” Having the mind of Christ means sharing the plan, purpose, and perspective of Christ, and it is something that all believers possess. Having the mind of Christ means we understand God’s plan in the world—to bring glory to Himself, restore creation to its original splendor, and provide salvation for sinners. It means we identify with Christ’s purpose “to seek and to save what was lost” (Luk...

Jesus starts out telling us that prayer is not a mystical mystery; rather, we can, by ourselves and without a priest, go before our Holy God and make our petitions and our heart known to Him and commune with Him. Jesus is basically showing us how to relate to Him through intimacy, emptying our will so our heart is exposed to Him as we would with any true, intimate encounter. Thus the mortar of prayer built the Early Church until it disintegrated into the chaos that it was in Jesus' day. Prior to...

Just like he did at the outset of creation, God can take the formless voids of our lives, give them shape, and speak light into them. There is a saying, “First things first.” Well, the first thing is God. Our passage from Genesis begins this way. It says, “In the beginning God . . .” The Bible begins with God. It begins with the account of God creating the heavens and the earth and everything in between: stars and insects, trees and galaxies, planets and animals, the birds of the air and the fis...

‘Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence,’ as Charles Spurgeon famously said. When we see the problems in our society and in the church, what is our first response? As the psalmist looks out at the mess that the people of God are in and the fact that his city is in ruins, his first response is to cry out to God. The psalmist reminds God of both his power and his love, declaring his greatness: ‘You, O Lord, sit enthroned forever’ (v.12a) and his ‘compassion’ (v.13) for Je...
