Lessons from Noah’s Ark
1. Don’t miss the boat.
2. Try to remember that we’re all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark, you know…

The Sudden Storms of Life
…storms may arise, even when we are in the plain line of Christian duty. We should not be discouraged by the difficulty or trouble which comes and conclude that we are in the wrong path.
A Mighty Fortress is Our GOD
A Mighty Fortress is our God! When we abide in Him all that would distress us melts away, and the perfect peace that only He can provide comes into our hearts and gives us the strength to go on for Him! What a glorious position we have through Christ who has made us sons and daughters of God, and bestowed on us the peace that passes understanding.
LORD, Why won’t You Answer Me??!!
It might seem that God isn’t answering our prayers, but that does not mean we should give up and it does not mean we should look for help anywhere else. Eventually, God will answer. He might not answer in the way we expect, and the time may seem long from our human perspective. But He WILL answer.
With the Eye of Tenderest Love
…Christ looks down upon our struggles in this world. He sees us straining and toiling; He beholds all our battles and strifes. He sees us in the waves and in the storm. He sees us, not merely with the eye of the calm spectator, but with the eye of tenderest love!
Burdened for the Brethren
It is not enough to bring just our burdens to God in prayer, we must also bring the burdens of our brothers/sisters, our community, our neighborhood, to Him. It is not enough to take care of just our own (selves/families), we must also tend to the burdens of others.
More Special than Sparrows
God cares for sparrows and the number of hairs on our heads; He certainly has His all-seeing eye on us, knows what we are going through, and will carry us through our trials to the other side!
The Awe-Full Truth about Self-Denial
The essential thing is that SELF gives way altogether to CHRIST as the purpose and end of life.
Storms “Behind the Scenes”
Recently, I have been going through a very difficult period of my life: things were on the verge of falling apart for my family and me. It seemed we had gone through storm after storm (financially)… and then came the whopper. We were taking on water and sinking fast. And just like the disciples, I wondered whether Jesus even cared…
Light for Life
A child of God simply cannot live their life with any contentment if we are not taking in God’s Word and applying it to our lives on a regular basis. We NEED God’s instruction fed to us through His very words. There just is no substitute for it.
