Father God,
We offer thanks and praise to you because you deserve glory and everything you do is good. You want the best for us; you want to bless us; you want us to be happy.
Deuteronomy 4: 6 Observe (the laws from God given to Moses) them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."

So I get an e-mail from a colleague concerned that Barack Obama may be looking to take credit for Sarah Palin’s signature achievement, the deal she put together with TransCanada and Exxon-Mobil to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the lower 48 states.

Obama is taking the US on a similar course and on a fast track that would be the envy of Hoover or FDR. We need to go back to what works -- less government and not more.
Although they need to receive Jesus Christ as their Messiah in order to get to heaven, God in faithfulness to his word has blessed the Jewish people and has blessed the world through them.
The Apostle Paul compared living the Christian life to competing in athletic games, and with the Olympics just being over it is timely that we look at what the Scriptures say about it.
It is our responsibility to bear fruit, yet it is impossible to do it without Christ. The Covenant we have with God gives us all the tools we need to bear much fruit.
This is the fourth installment of the Parable of the Sower and deals with worry, cares, and lusts choking the word of God out of our lives. We as over-comers and more than conquerors must not allow that to happen.
The Paraable of the Sower is very revealing and convicting about the reasons for the failure of our lives in Christ to produce fruit. One of the very profound lessons in this parable is we determine what kind of ground we are.
The Parable of the Sower illustrates quite well that the responsibility for the growth of the word in our life is ours. We determine what kind of ground we are.
How long did it take for Noah to build the Ark? Some believe the Bible says it took him 120 years. Does it really say that? And if it does where does it say it!
There were giants on the earth in those days
The following is a statement put out by the Journal of American Medicine about the death of Jesus Christ
Hedging our bets to be safe is not true faith. If we believe God, believe His promises are all “yes” in Christ, then we ought to run through life, pursuing the lost, pursuing our maturity and helping grow that of the other members of the Body. Let the Lord be concerned about obstacles in the future—He sees them coming before we do anyway.
This is the third installment of The Parable of the Sower. As we look at each section we must identify which one we are. As for me I have amounts of all of them in me, but Bless God, I am on a mission to co-labor with the Spirit of the living God who I am in Covenant with, to eliminate any of those characteristics that would hinder or stop the growth of the Word of God in my life.
The standard of Genesis 18, "if there be ten righteous I will spare it" is not applicable for a New Covenant setting. Because we have received more light than previous Covenants.
There are many misconceptions about angels and their role and involvement in our lives. Following is a short study on this subject.
I remember reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula when I was a young teenager. It scared me. The thought of a conscienceless, fanged creature with an insatiable lust for human blood that hunted for its prey in the darkness of night aided by superhuman and even supernatural abilities caused me many sleepless hours as I lay in bed, covers pulled up over my head, praying that the efficacy of cotton quilts to save me from the powers of the “Undead” would match that of a cross.
Why did God accept Abel's offering and not Cain's? The answer is revealed in the word of God.
The Reading of Psalm 23
There was once a Shakespearean actor who was known everywhere for his one-man show of readings and recitations from the classics.
He would always end his performance with a dramatic reading of Psalm 23. Each night, without exception, as the actor began his recitation - "The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want" - the crowd would listen attentively. And then, at the conclusion of the psalm, they would rise in thunderous applause in appreciation of the actor's incredible ability to bring the verse to conclusion.
