January is a time when I typically set big spiritual goals—ones that inspire me to elevate my believing to a new level. By studying Biblical examples, I find principles to help me be strong in the Lord while I pursue these goals. Rahab and Ruth repeatedly inspire me because, like me, they were women who… Continue Reading
Biblical Examples of Men Strong in the Lord
God encourages His people to be strong in the Lord. Ephesians 6:10: Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Often one’s strength isn’t obvious until challenges arise, but we can be strong in the Lord anytime by faithfully believing God’s Word and carrying it out. Throughout the… Continue Reading

Believing for Victory: Picture It!
Have you ever watched an Olympic skier right before a downhill run? Sometimes the athlete will, with eyes closed, picture himself performing perfectly on every part of the course.

Growing as We Speak the Word to Others
When our children were young, we would record their growth by placing a mark on the wall just above their heads. Once they stepped away from the wall, the first thing they did was to compare the difference between the previous mark and the current one. Then they would exclaim, “Look how much I’ve grown!”… Continue Reading
Growing by Sowing the Word
In school my children participated in a gardening class. They helped prepare the soil and sow the seeds. However, this was not a onetime activity. They would go out faithfully to take care of the garden by watering it and removing weeds or destructive bugs. Because we lived in an area that had warm weather… Continue Reading
Biblical Truths We Must Adhere to: To Whom It Is Addressed
When our children were in high school, we received an invitation to the wedding and reception of a dear couple. Our family was delighted with the occasion, but I remember I had to go back and double-check which members of our family were invited. Checking the names on the envelope, I found that it was… Continue Reading
Overcoming Fear by Believing Action
The believer’s greatest enemy in life is fear, because fear, in its least common denominator, is unbelief; and unbelief defeats the promises of God. Where we have fear, it handcuffs our ability to believe God. Proverbs 29:25 gives us the answer to overcome fear. Proverbs 29:25: The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso… Continue Reading

Super-Überwinder in allen Lebenslagen
Kannst Du dich daran erinnern, wie es war, als Du beim Sport darauf warten musstest, bis Du in eines von zwei Teams ausgewählt wurdest, die gegeneinander antreten sollten?

Ein kluger und fähiger Mannschaftskapitän… Continue Reading
Facing Adversity with Courage
Firefighters, law enforcement officers, military members, emergency room doctors—there is something that makes these professionals stand out from the crowd. In order to help, they run toward adverse situations when a more instinctive reaction might be to run away from them. They are able to do this in large part because of the instruction and… Continue Reading
Word Conditioned, Not Circumstance Controlled
How would you like to develop a mind-set that can help you overcome challenges that come your way? When challenges arise, we always have a choice to make: either we can allow circumstances to have control over us and defeat us, or we can overcome circumstances with God’s Word. Being Word conditioned and not circumstance… Continue Reading
The Scripture Interprets Itself: Used Before
We have examined previously how the Word of God interprets itself in the verse and in the context. If a word, expression, or idea does not interpret itself in the verse or in the context, another key is to examine where it has been used before, its previous usage. We will apply this Biblical research… Continue Reading
Manifesting God’s Kindness in Our Actions
For us as born-again believers, we have the ability to show God’s kindness to others. His kindness is an aspect of the love of God we have in our hearts because of the gift of holy spirit given to us in the new birth. Romans 5:5: …the love of God is shed abroad in our… Continue Reading
Becoming a Doer of the Word
Have you ever wondered, “How does God want me to love Him? How do I show Him that I love Him?” I show members of my family that I love them by doing acts of service for them, by giving them things that they like, by telling them things I like about them. I love… Continue Reading
Bringing Life and Peace with Our Words
The words we speak are powerful. They can affect others either positively or negatively.

Two practical ways to help us accomplish this are to pause… Continue Reading
The Scripture Interprets Itself: In the Context
All Scripture interprets itself in the verse, in the context, and as used before. In previous articles we focused on how the Scripture interprets itself in the verse. Now let’s consider how the Scripture interprets itself in the context. Context means the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw… Continue Reading
Bountiful Living via Bountiful Giving
God has established immutable laws that govern all of life. Immutable means unchangeable. One immutable law is the prosperity principle of giving. As we give of our abundance with love and cheerfulness out of a heart of thankfulness, we do receive God’s bountiful blessings. In Biblical times, farmers sowed, or planted, seed by broadcasting: they… Continue Reading
God’s People Have So Much to Give!
When I was twenty-one years old and approaching college graduation, I started to seriously consider what I was going to do with my life.

The Scripture Interprets Itself: In the Verse—Scripture Build-Up
I come from a big family with seven children. We are all adults now; and when we get together and talk about childhood events, it is extremely interesting to hear an identical event as narrated by each individual. Each person adds different details and insights to the same incident. And for the most part, the… Continue Reading
Gottes Gabe heiliger Geist
Gott ist der größte Geschenkemacher aller Zeiten. Er weiß, was und wann wir etwas benötigen und Er hat die Mittel, überschwänglich darauf zu antworten über alles hinaus, was wir bitten oder verstehen (Epheser 3:20).

Together Everyone Accomplishes More
I would like to tell you a story about a team that accomplished something great. However, I am not going to tell you about a sports team or a military team or a law enforcement team. This team I am referring to accomplished something great for God around two thousand years ago! The story I… Continue Reading
Josua: Auf Gott vertrauend
Josua ist ein hervorragendes Beispiel dafür, was es heißt, für Gott zu stehen. Er überwand viele scheinbar unüberwindbare Hindernisse und siegte überlegend. Er war weder entmutigt durch die Größe der Hindernisse, die ihn herausforderten, noch durch die Anzahl der Feinde, denen er gegenüberstand und er erbrachte bemerkenswerte Leistungen. Dies geschah nicht durch seine eigene Stärke… Continue Reading

Vous rappelez-vous un temps où vous attendiez d’être choisi pour l’une de deux équipes qui allaient s’opposer l’une à l’autre dans une compétition ?

Un capitaine fort… Continue Reading
Super vencedores en todas las situaciones de la vida

Teamwork: The Importance of Each Individual
Recently, the house next to mine was damaged and needed to be rebuilt. This required the efforts of the insurance company, the general contractor, the subcontractors, the laborers, the vendors supplying the materials, and many others.

The Scripture Interprets Itself:
In the Verse—Words Used Must Be in Harmony
II Timothy 3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God [God-breathed], and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. All of the Word of God, as it was originally revealed to holy men of God—the God-breathed Word—fits together perfectly from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21. The Word of God… Continue Reading
Serving by Leading
A tremendous avenue for Christian service is to avail oneself of opportunities to lead God’s people. A true Christian leader helps those he or she is leading to live God’s Word and thus to live the more abundant life. What better way is there to lead others than the way God leads? With His love,… Continue Reading
Die Hoffnung: die Wiedervereinigung
Kurz nachdem Jesus in den Himmel aufgefahren war, erschienen den Aposteln zwei Engel und sagten: „… Dieser Jesus, der von euch weg gen Himmel aufgenommen wurde, wird so wiederkommen, wie ihr ihn habt gen Himmel fahren sehen“ (Apostelgeschichte 1:11). Zu wissen, dass Jesus Christus wiederkommt, ist von Bedeutung für den Wandel eines wiedergeborenen Gläubigen. Dieses… Continue Reading
