What a wonderful God we serve!  Consider the following given by the Apostle Paul to Timothy.  1 Timothy 1:17 “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.” First, consider that He is King.  That means that He is supreme.  David wrote this […]

The Jewish people were required to give a tenth or tithe of their income.  Leviticus 27:30 “And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord’s. It is holy to the Lord.”  The scribes and Pharisees of Jesus’ time were so […]

In the early church, there was a prophesy that there would be a severe famine over the land.  As a result, the disciples decided to provide help for the brethren living in Judea (Acts 11:28-29).  The apostle Paul gave instruction to the Corinthian and Galatian churches concerning their giving for this cause.  1 Corinthians 16:1-2 […]

You and I must be around people of the world.  It could be at school or at work or at play or even at the store where you buy necessities.  When you are around people of the world, their words and actions can affect you in a bad way and you may pick up some […]

Maybe you have looked at other people who cause you problems or who are engaged in some sinful activity and it seems that they are prospering in spite of their wicked lifestyle.  You, on the other hand, are doing your best to serve God and you know the many problems you face in your life.  […]
