Romans 6:11 – Be ALIVE TO GOD, alert to Him, through Jesus Christ our Lord!
THE DESIRE Moses had a desire to experience more of God. Exodus 33:18 ‘Then Moses asked to see God’s glory’. He wanted more of God. We are encouraged to taste and see that the Lord is good. (Ps 34:8) This must be because there is more to experience. We should live like this, wanting to…
Many of the great people in the Bible wanted more of God. Moses was one! He asked to see God’s glory. David was another. Psalm 42:2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? The Apostle Paul also wanted more of God. This is how he…
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PRESENCE AND THE MANIFEST PRESENCE They are not the same and we can have the one without the other. We know that the Lord is here, but we can remain totally unaware of it. Only as we become aware of His presence is His presence manifest. He wants to show Himself…

A SURE FOUNDATION FOR YOUR TIMES Life is a series of seasons and times through which we pass. Each season has its own challenges and difficulties. Trouble is a part of life. It is not a matter of if we have trouble but rather a matter of when we have trouble. If the foundation is…

TRUSTING THE SURE FOUNDATION Not only do we have to build on a sure foundation but we must also trust the foundation to carry us. When we build a wall upon a foundation, that wall relies fully on the foundation to hold it up and carry it. It does not try to carry itself or…
BUILDING ON A SURE FOUNDATION Building on a sure foundation brings lasting results. On a trip to England I visited a cathedral that was built 1000 years ago.
