Am I Spirit-Filled and Controlled?

PSALM 136:1 – Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” Here is a quick one-question test – “How do Christians know they are filled with God’s Spirit and living under His control?” Yes, there are multiple scriptural answers and multiple wrong answers. One correct answer is found in today’s scripture. Before we identify it,…

Gospel Joy

PSALM 92:4 – For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”   Joy is to characterize the Christian life. Christians are not to live grumpy lives.

The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before…

The Battle Is The Lord’s

2 CHRONICLES 14:8-15 –  And Asa had an army of 300,000 from Judah, armed with large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin that carried shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.  Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and came as far as Mareshah.  And Asa…
