Some of the messages that I hear preached by pastors on television today quite often won’t preach in many places around the world. It’s called the “Health and Wealth Gospel,” and it essentially says that if you’re in Christ and following Him faithfully, then God will make you happy, healthy, and wealthy in your life.

I heard about a lady who was married three times. The first time she married a grocer. He died, so she married a tailor. Well, it turns out he died as well, so she married a preacher.

A story is told about a sailor hundreds of years ago who was given charge of a ship overnight while the captain slept. It was his first time to have full command of the ship, and the only directive he was given was to sail due north, toward the North Star.

I want to remind you today that not only is the Word of God perfect, living, and abiding forever.  Not only is the Word of God unchanging and true.  Not only does it have a saving purpose. 

How can you get God’s Word into your heart and minds so it can transform you? 

Do you want to experience lasting change in your Christian walk? Of course you do. I do, too. This lasting change is ours when we discipline ourselves to consume God’s Word.

I want to share with you one of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard about the power of blessing another person. 

As parents, we are to bless our children. We are called to it.

When trials come your way, they aren’t coming to taunt or to punish you. They are coming to prepare your soul for eternity!

There’s going to come a time in your life when, more than anything on earth, you’re going to need to know that God is with you. And when that moment does come, it’s very important that you keep your trust in Jesus. To do less is to deny or dishonor our God.
