Before I get back to our text in Romans, I wish to continue one more day on how God directs his children when they are looking to him for his leading.  Since James tells us we can ask God for wisdom and he will give it to us … how do we receive it?  Well, first—what is wisdom, anyway?

Wisdom may be broken down into six areas:   understanding, discretion, prudence, discernment, knowledge, and action.    I believe it is critical to comprehend these, and to desire them…

''BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS IN THE LORD,WHOSE CONFIDENCE IS IN HIM '' .....Jeremiah 17:7

Truly, most of us desire to hear the voice of God.  If God really does still speak to his people, we want to make sure he speaks to us!  And we want to make sure we know it when he speaks.  So, how can we know that the thing we heard, and think is from God, is really from him? 

-It will be consistent with his Word

-Other believers will affirm it

-It will not be a mean, condemning voice, but a guiding one

-Does it express his mind, his character, or his…

Now I know why  we’re called  children of God…………..whenever I read a blog or  a bible text or any encouraging message on AAG, I’m once again reminded that we are but children, all seeking God’s face and learning from each other and the search for the truth which is the word of God. Not a day goes by where I haven’t been able to learn something new from any of my Christian brothers/sisters.

A very valuable network forum this is, and I thank God for guiding me to this website,…

The psalmist said, “The unfolding of your words gives light.” Psalm 119.30

“In all your ways, acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.” Proverbs 3.6

We read, study, and even memorize these words, but how does…

God spoke to me this week.  Where? How?  W h e n did G o d speak to me?  Through his powerful Word—yet again.  Right where we find ourselves in Romans 5.  See, in his next breath, (after establishing that our eternal hope is through Christ, in that he alone makes us right with God), Paul passionately implores the Roman Christians to stand strong—no matter what they were facing.  Check it out:

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we…

Caller:  Ok.  This is what I want to know.  I know we’re not suppose to mention a denomination, so I won’t, but I went to a church where there was a lot of speaking in tongues.  And I believe it wasn’t just random, like people were going blibber-blabber; it was always interpreted.  And now I go to church where they don’t speak in tongues and all; and I…

Through my many studies, I have come to a most disturbing understanding of today's church.  When I say church, I'm refering to the Christian church. It's clear to me that the church is focused on increasing the number of people coming through the font door, rather than building spiritual growth within the church. I call this the "Olsteen" syndrome. Today's evangelist's focus their attention on cultural problems within the congregation, what I mean is that instead of preaching the Word, they…

It seems like a very long time ago since we stepped away from Paul, leaving him in the letter that he was writing to the church at Rome . . . we segued for good reason, to prepare our hearts for the celebration of the birth of the King, and then to consider the right thoughts we might choose to start the New Year, including the notion that right thinking must include the personal priority of studying and taking a hold of the Word of God.

I would submit to you that we cannot simply…
