The Gospel Truth – Wait on the Lord
Wait on the Lord In the book of Isaiah it tells us, “They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.” Many of us in our lives have a problem when it comes to waiting on the Lord. But yet we have no problem when it comes to waiting on a flight,…
Read MoreSpirituality and Faith – Escaping evil
Escaping evil I recently came across this Psalm in my studies, and there is something needing to be said to us from these words of David: “Why brag about evil, you hero! God’s faithful love is constant. Like a sharpened razor, your tongue devises destruction, working treachery. You love evil instead of good,…
Read MoreThe Gospel Truth – Give the Lord thanks
Give the Lord thanks In the book of I Thessalonians 5:18 it teaches us to “Give thanks in every situation because this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” For many this is easier said than done, because many have not come to understand God’s will. We have been told time after…

Read MoreSpirituality and Faith – It ain’t my fault
It ain’t my fault Ever heard that? Ever said it? Listening to a country song the other day (yes, sometimes I do listen to other genres of music) and Brothers Osbourne caught my attention. The song speaks of a man who doggedly, humorously refuses to own up to his own actions. He blames…
Read MoreThe Gospel Truth – Reason to rejoice
Reason to rejoice Psalm 118:24, “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Every morning that we rise from our beds is a day of rejoicing. But there are days when the last thing we want to do is rejoice. When you don’t feel…

Tooting your own will get you in trouble Editor’s note: This column was originally published in our July 25, 2014, edition.
