God Shows Off When You Need Him Most
In the year 1624 author John Donne’s book “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions” reflected on sickness, pain, and the human condition. The book contains a very famous line: “No Man Is An Island.” It emphasized a connectivity that each of us needs in our lives. Unfortunately, not everyone is available, able or willing to be there when we need them. Thankfully we serve a God that is always there- especially when we need Him most.
God Is Faithful: Now And Forever
One of the subjects in the Bible which is most thought-provoking for many believers is the study of things to come. Both the Book of the Revelation and the Book of Daniel contain truths and images that can be difficult to digest. As we consider future events it can be both overwhelming and worrisome. Today’s teaching is a timely reminder that God is faithful now, and He will be faithful in the times to come.
In The End We Win
As Dr. Tony Hart continues his teaching in the Book of Daniel, we are confronted today with some startling and sometimes frightening imagery. As Christians we maintain hope during turbulent times because our faith is rooted in God’s Word, which transcends our circumstances. Central to us is the conviction that God is sovereign and loving, offering strength, guidance and comfort even in times of uncertainty. We draw our strength from scriptural promises of peace, redemption, and a purposeful future, believing that adversity can lead to growth and deeper trust in God.
Jesus Is The King of Kings
The political landscape of our world is in constant flux, shaped by shifting alliances, emerging movements, and the rapid evolution of technology and communication. Global events, economic pressures, and social transformations continually redefine the priorities and strategies of nations and leaders. The political climate around the world is ever changing, and causing uncertainty across the globe, changing the very landscape of our world. In times like these we must hold on to the truth that Jesus is the King of Kings.
Bad Decisions Have Lasting Consequences
Estimates are that the average adult makes about 35,000 decisions every day, ranging from minor choices like what to wear or eat to more significant ones, averaging about one decision every two seconds. This vast number includes everything from crossing the street to choosing how to spend one’s time. Some of our choices may seem to have little impact on our daily lives or our future, but in reality, one bad choice can be like a falling domino that effects not only our lives but the lives of others well into the future.
Lord, Please Don’t Cut Down My Tree
King Solomon, was one of the wisest persons who ever lived. He built the First Temple in Jerusalem. He amassed great wealth, a powerful military, and lived in a magnificent royal palace, reigning over a unified Israel at its peak. But in the Book of Ecclesiastes, he laments about the vanity and emptiness of life. We all have plans, desires and things we want to accomplish in our lives, and today’s teaching with Dr. Tony Hart reminds us that if our plans and goals don’t line up with God’s, they are destined to be cut down.
Man Rules God Reigns
Throughout history there have been men and women who have wielded great influence and possessed wide ranging authority. . The very landscape of our world has been altered by the decisions that have been made in the halls of power. But be it a Pharaoh… or a Caesar… or an Emperor, or a Prince, or a King… or a Congressman… a senator, or a President- man may rule, but God reigns.
Trust In God
Stop for a moment and think of someone in your life whom you trust. Now ask yourself why you trust them. Perhaps because they always keep their word and never break their promises. If they say they’ll be there, they show up. Perhaps you trust them because you know they have your best interests at heart. Time and again you’ve been able to depend upon them. For all these reasons and more, trust me, you can trust God.
Our Victory Requires Change
The Word of God clearly teaches that the believer is at war- not against flesh and blood, but against the unseen powers that control the darkness of this world, and against spiritual agents from the very headquarters of evil. We are further admonished to take off our fleshly wardrobe, and change into the whole armour of God. We need to see things differently and do things differently if victory in battle is to be ours. Victory will require change.
Marriage Is Blessed By The Lord
Everything God ordains, He blesses. And because God has ordained the institution of marriage, there is the opportunity to experience God’s blessing in a very special way. Marriage isn’t for the faint of heart, it takes work and it takes commitment. But because marriage is blessed by the Lord, we can count on His help to see it through the most challenging of times.
