  The Bereans sought the truth Berea (modern Verria) was located approximately 50 miles (80 km) from Thessalonica, a district of Macedonia (Greece.) The name means “place of many waters.” Mount Olympus, an extraordinary landmark, stood within view of what was once known as; Berea. This must have been a beautiful place to live as it rested between the sea and the mountains. The warm, ocean wind would have been contrasted by the chilly, snowcapped mountains in the distance. The Christians who lived there in the time of the apostle Paul were considered to be more noble than the Thessalonians. Why were the people of Berea considered to be nobler than the Thessalonians? As Paul preached to them they received the message with great eagerness, but examined the Scriptures every day to see for themselves if what Paul was saying to them was true. This story is found in (Acts 17:11). None of us is so learned concerning the Bible that we don’t need to search the Scriptures ...

Remember your last healing Have you ever prayed God would correct something in your life, and He did? Have you ever asked Him to bless you, or a member of your family, and He did? Do you remember your last healing? Many of us are guilty of having some really short-term memories; we forget all the good things God has done for us way too soon. It’s like we pray and pray because our problem or situation is very serious, and then faithfully God answers our prayers, then before long we’ve forgotten all about His special “gift” or His blessing. We go back to all the other things we used to think about, and now, that which we prayed for, and got , are no longer a problem for us, so we just forget what He has done for us. Shame on us! I am reminded by the Holy Spirit, it’s important that we stop and realize how complacent and forgetful we can be. I know I am guilty of forgetting His wonderful work myself. In fact, several weeks ago, I asked God to help me with an anxiety p...

Whoever lives in love lives in God The word “love” is mentioned in the Bible over 500 times; God surely considers love essential to our lives. God is love. Without love we are lost. One of the first Scriptures in the Bible to stress “love” is (Deuteronomy 6:5) where Moses instructs us to; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” Love begins with God. “ We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19). Do you remember your first “love?” I do! Her name was Jeri and she was my very first “girlfriend” back in fifth grade. I would do anything to impress her, like try to kick the volleyball over the school fence, hang upside down from the monkey bars, and make strange “faces” for her. Back then I believed I loved her…I did as a 9 or 10 year old boy could. I made her several valentines that year even beyond Valentine’s Day! Now, fifty-something years later, I have a more memorable “girlfriend” and she is my lov...

Calling things that are not as though they were We all have situations in our lives that we would like to see change. Maybe it’s unwanted debt, a lack of enough monthly income, a better relationship with someone, a desire to be healthier, or just feel better about our selves. It can be anything that keeps us from having the kind of joyful and fulfilling life God intends for us. We don’t have to be satisfied with our lack of these things. You have power over your life! You can have what you say. Most of the time we are defeated in our lives because, we believe and confess the wrong things. Our negative words hold us back in bondage as the enemy wants us to feel deprived of God’s provisions. He wants us to accept defeat. Jesus said in (Matthew 17:20), “…if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” In (Mark 11:22, 23), He said, “Have faith in God…I tell yo...

Jesus praying for all believers He loves us, oh how He loves us! This Son of almighty God, the Morning Star, Bread of Life, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords, Alpha and Omega, Living Water, Savior, Redeemer…HE loves you , and HE loves me! We cannot conceive of how much Jesus loves us! How could we ever doubt this indescribable, complete, sacrificial love our blessed Savior has for us? But, too often we do. Listen now as HE prays to HIS Holy Father; as HE prays for you, and for me (John 17:20-26), and know you have HIS special love: “My prayer is not for them alone, I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you have given me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent m...
