The Church that Draws People
The sacrificial love of the church was and still is what will make a dying world sit up and pay attention to the gospel message about Christ.
Taking 18,000 Real Seriously
God thinks our words are so important and can make such a difference in someone’s life that he holds us accountable for them. So how do we encourage others with our words?
Confidence in God’s Word
There is no need to worry about our trials. God is faithful to respond to our every need and request. We were made for fellowship with him even in our heaviest times.
Listening to God
Scripture makes it clear that the Lord wants to talk to every one of us. First, though, we must stop all activity. Only then will we hear him speak clearly to our hearts.
Praying through Pain
The strength, power and encouragement believers receive from the Lord in prayer while shut in with him must see us through the trials ahead.
Coming to God in Sadness
If Nehemiah could go to a pagan king with a sad countenance and yet find favor beyond imagination, how much more will King Jesus show compassion to each of us?
When We Have No Hope
There comes a time when believers have no resource but Jesus alone. When we have no hope or resources, Christ breathes his supernatural life into our circumstances.
信心上的挑戰
我們讀到聖經起始的書卷，往往會忘記非常要緊的事情。神應許必提供亞伯拉罕、以撒和雅各一個家鄉。衪沒有按照任何人的想法持守應許。我們忘記這件事，因為我們知道故事的結局。有誰會想及在埃及為奴 400 年是持守那應許的一部份呢 ? 神沒有按照我們的想法或時機有關衪該如何持守應許，我們就感到很難倚靠衪。 例如以色列民終於進入應許之地的故事。他們在西乃山上領受律法和敬拜的律例典章，知道神對他們的要求。 他們打發探子進入該地 ; 你都知道這故事 . 他們回來說：「這地肥美，流奶與蜜。」也就是說，該地能供給牛羊，且有足夠產蜜，結實纍纍的花草樹木。十名探子又說：「我們受不了。我們都是奴隸。我們不爭戰。讓我們回埃及吧。我們在那裡有大蒜、韭菜和洋蔥，又安全。」 這就是信心上的挑戰。 你以為神若降十災，且在我們面前開紅海，我們就會倚靠衪。不 , 我們不會。無論神為我們有何作為，我們依然不信。有些人蒙神拯救脫離世界，但卻從未憑信心行事，領受衪的祝福。 你又如何呢 ? 如今，神要求你在哪方面倚靠衪呢 ? 請想及衪已為你所作的。請想及聖經所記載衪為衪子民的作為。神總必對衪的子民信實不渝。 「 因耶和華的慈愛，我們不致滅絕，因衪的憐憫永不斷絕，每早晨，這都是新的；你的信實極其廣大！我心裏說：「耶和華是我的福分，因此，我要仰望衪。」凡等候耶和華，心裏尋求衪的，耶和華必施恩給他。人仰望耶和華，安靜等候衪的救恩，這是好的。」 ( 哀 3:22-26).
The Challenge of Faith
One of the greatest differences between true teachers of the Word and false teachers is that the true believers will draw people to God; false believers will draw people to themselves and their own ideas.
Removal of Fear
God will reach his mighty hand into a repentant believer’s heart and pluck out all roots of fear so that he will know the immeasurable favor and blessing of God.
