“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. John 6:35 From the very first words of his Gospel account, John establishes the fact that Jesus was the Almighty God, the Creator of the universe, and the One who had come to be the Saviour of mankind. Throughout his Gospel, there are seven times that Jesus referred to Himself as “I AM” and this week we are going to look at each of them and what they mean to us today. When…

“7 For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory. 8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. II Timothy 2:19 Floors are an important part of our homes. We try to keep them clean and uncluttered. When we have a spill, we clean it up immediately because we know if we don’t it will be much harder later on. We could say the floor is the foundation of our home. We stand firm upon it. Looking at our spiritual life, there are beliefs and standards that are…
“But the path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). An old but well remembered commercial of a hotel chain promised, “We’ll keep the lights on for you.” This seemed to assure a place of rest for the weary traveler and a warm welcome no matter how late they arrived. What a comforting thought. It’s true. Light is inviting. I don’t know about you, but I feel uncomfortable driving up to a completely dark house. Darkness can seem forbidding and perhaps even unsafe. That’s one reason I…
“And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few. And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.” I Samuel 14-7 During a fierce battle between Israel and the Philistines, Jonathan and his armourbearer became separated from the rest of the army. The leader of their…
