Desire Plus Diligence Equals Success

“The soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich.”Proverbs 13:4 A desire for growth is to be commended. Where there is no desire for growth, there will be none. But desire alone does not produce results. Want, without action, at best leaves us stationary... Continue Reading →

Providential Irony

GOD said to Abram, “Know of a surety, that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.” Genesis...

We are surrendering by willingly exposing ourselves before GOD, and acknowledging to Him that we have accepted where we are and that we need Him, not for most things, but we need him for everything. We are surrendering the control that... Continue Reading →

We Are Brethren

I love the statement made by Abram in Genesis 13:8 regarding the strife that existed between his camp and the camp of his nephew Lot.
