  • Move Forward for God - All forward moves to do better spiritually must be supported by an increase in spiritual fervency.

  • The Usefullness of a Small New Testament - I have been carrying a small New Testament in my shirt pocket for quite some time now, and I try to remember to take it with me everywhere I go. Many times I am able to pull it out and look up a scripture that has come to my mind [...]
  • Progress From Grace to Sin in 8 Steps - I have been reading John Wesley’s sermons on the issue of sin and the believer in order to better understand his position on the issue of what happens if a Christian sins.

  • Are You Praying for Wisdom? - Wisdom is the ability to discern and exercise good judgment and it is developed by experience — well in most cases. We are told by James that “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall [...]
  • Do You Know What Your Spiritual Needs Are? - The contents of this post comes from my list that I have been keeping in my offline journal for over a year – which I call My Personal Needs list.

  • Retire Early and Get up Early - This is one of the most important things a Christian can do. If you don’t retire early you will not get up early. If you don’t get up early you will not have proper devotions. If you don’t have proper devotions your Christian life will be up [...]
  • Grace Offered For Obedience - Here are scriptures that support the position that God is able to keep his children from failing in temptations and falling into sin. 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted [...]

  • How is Your Thought Life? - In yesterdays morning devotions I was meditating on Phil 4:8 and 2Cor 10:3-5.
