Recently, the Lord reminded me of something important, something I think we all need to be reminded of at times.
Today we are celebrating Good Friday. Can you really say celebrating? Yes, you surely can, since on this day Jesus paid the great price for all our sin on that bloody cross of Calvary. And this is surely something worth celebrating!
The Glory of God is His manifested presence. Man was created in the image of God and she was clothed in the Glory of God, from the top to the bottom. When the Bible describes the fall of man it talks in these terms, that she "fell short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23). It is this sense of loss, that something important is missing, that drives people to invent all kinds of ideologies and religions, to fill that emptiness. But there is really nothing that can satisfy a human being other than the Glory of God, because the Glory of God is the manifestation and revelation of Himself.
Caleb is one of the interesting personalities we meet in the Old Testament. But he is not just an interesting person from the history; he has something to teach us in our very time. Follow along in a short lession of the history of Israel!
Even though I know it is dangerous to try and compare the importance of the things of God, I would still say that there is one revelation that is more important than anything else. That revelation is the fact that God is a Father God. Lack of this revelation in one way or another is causing more people to struggle in their faith than anything else.
This teaching was originally written by pastor Joe McIntyre, who went home to be with the Lord in December 2017. Thanks for all your hard work, Joe. You are truly a blessing even after leaving us here on earth.

This is a pretty long one, but I think the subject is pretty important, so take the time to read this if you're unsure about whether the law is relevant for a Christian today.
Some people do not like the word "giving" at all. They do not like the idea of taking from what is theirs and give to someone else that may or may not deserve it. But it is my hope and intention that people with such a way of thinking will realize how miserable they have been living after reading this.
Some people say like this "Well, I believe the devil is defeated, so I don't think there's any reason to talk about him. Let's talk about Jesus instead!". It's completely true that he is defeated, yet it's completely false to make the conclusion that we don't need to talk about him.
Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. (Acts 16:26)
Originally written by Julia Ward Howe, this is definitely one of my all-time favorites.
This hymn was written by John Newton sometime in the late 18:th century. You have probably heard it before, but take your time to read the lyrics. They are so incredibly strong.
The Love of God is probably one of the most important things that you get a clear revelation on. Why is this so important? 1 John 4:8 says it all. "He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love."
