Day Six
Meditate the Word The Lord gave Joshua everything he needed in order to fulfill all he was called to do. And, basically, it came down to this simple instruction: meditate the Word of God. “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so…

Day Five
The Faithful God “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations…” (Deuteronomy 7:9 ESV) I love this description of God: the faithful God. He keeps covenant; in other words, He can be…

Day Four
How His Promises Work God is good, and His mercy endures forever. He is so good that many people take Him for granted; they feel He does everything for them and there’s nothing they need to do. Well, it’s true; without Him we couldn’t do anything. Yet many times there are things we must do…

Day Three
God’s work in Abraham. Abraham was truly a remarkable man. Not a perfect man, but one that made a difference in his world and ours. His story is definitely worth the read. He had some good times and bad times. Frustrating moments and glorious moments. Days when he knew God was near, and days he…

Day One
Faithful Promises In a world filled with unkept promises and broken trust, people sometimes find it hard to trust in the faithful God. But God can be trusted. To Him, a promise is exactly that; a promise. A promise which He will never break. In fact, for His promise to fail, He would have to…

40 Days of Promises
The Lord let us know, through the writings of the Apostle Paul, that the things which happened to people in the Old Testament happened not only for their instruction, provision, and discipline, but also for ours: Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they…

The Fruit of Muhammed
The world has been experiencing the fruit of Muhammed for more than 1400 years. And it’s amazing to me that people are confused as to the nature of his religion. It’s common knowledge, if you want to know what the root of something is, look at its fruit. Fruit reveals the root. Approximately 600 years…

Loose in the Church
Years ago, while attending a Full Gospel Business Men’s luncheon, I was asked about the church I pastored. “I’m an Assemblies of God pastor”, I replied. “We attend a WORD church”, they informed me. That phrase has stuck with me for over twenty five years. Back then, some sectors of the Body of Christ acted…
