Are You Willing? Are you or I really willing to do whatever God wants us to do? Really willing …. whatever …. anything …? If He called you to be a missionary (or wife to one), an evangelist’s wife, Pastor’s wife, etc….Would you answer the call? If He called your child to the wilds of India, would you tell him/her – “If it’s God’s will for you, then you’d better do it”, supporting them every step of the way? Are we REALLY willing to do God’s will? Then why didn’t we hand a Gospel tract to that cashier the other day? Why did we ignoreRead More →

Content in God’s Will Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content. Philippians 4:11 Are you content in God’s will?

(1 Samuel 8:9) He even gives us a run down of the consequences (8:11-18), yet we still want our own way. Read all of 1 SamuelRead More →

A Work in Progress Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Philippians 1:6 We serve such a gracious and merciful God. So often I am reminded of Lamentations 3:21-23: This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. What would or could I do if it were not for His renewed compassions and mercies! It totally befuddles me as to whyRead More →
