Past Deliverance Begets Faith

"David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine."   1 Samuel 17:37 This is not a promise if we consider only the words, but it is truly so as to its sense; for David spoke a word which the LORD endorsed by making it true.

Voice of the Lord
Devotional for 'Adar 17'

You may think of worship as singing a song, saying a blessing, being quiet, shouting out, kneeling down, reciting praises, and so on. But the essence of worship is not that.

It comes from two words: pros… — ( click here to read more )

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer

I have known people who seemed to be terrified by God's loving desire that we should reflect His own holiness and goodness.

The Believer's Daily Remembrancer
Who loved me. - Galatians 2:20

Who loved me. - Galatians 2:20

And what was Paul? A blasphemer, a persecutor, one who injured the church of God. And did Jesus love Paul? Yes: "He loved me." Then the love of Jesus is free, and not on account of anything man is.

The cause of love is in God, not in the objects loved. You may have looked for some reason to conclude…
