God Speaks

As powerful today as in Old Testament times

Just like in those early days when God was speaking to those whom He inspired to write the Bible, He is still speaking to us. But why would He want to, you might ask? I believe there are three good reasons why.

First, He loves us no less than He did Abraham, Daniel, David or any of the other people in the Old or New Testament. I believe He is just as interested in fellowshipping with us today as He was with them then. If we don’t engage Him in conversation and there is no dialogue between us there won’t be much in the way of fellowship will there? We must call upon Him, listening carefully for His method of speaking to us.

The second reason I believe God is still speaking to us today is; we need His direction no less than Joshua, Jacob or Noah did. His definitive and intentional direction is what we need to make purposeful, effective decisions in our lives. We can’t do without His will for us no matter how organized or learned we may think we are! His speaking to us provides the data and discernment we need to make good decisions.

The third reason I believe God still speaks to us today is; He understands us and He knows we must have His comfort and His assurance just like those believers in the Old Testament did. Don’t we have our own battles, when our adversaries appear as giants and we realize we are out numbered by our enemy? Such fearful times are when God knows we need Him and the confidence and that personal assurance only He can provide.


This is what I believe is the most important reason God speaks to us today and that is; He desires us to know Him as Father, constantly engaging Him in our lives. It’s a good feeling to know your opinions count or you have something worthwhile to offer to a relationship. I wish I had engaged my earthly father more while he was alive. I believe God still wants to know we need and want Him today. I believe He wishes we would call more often!

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...
