I once saw a bumper sticker that said, “Lead me not into temptation. I can find it myself.” Jesus knew that we are easily tempted, so He taught us to pray, “Do not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one . . . “ (Matthew 6:13). Now, what does this actually…

Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.— Acts 8:30-31 It was a divine appointment. All Phillip had to do…

Life is full of obstacles. Some you see coming from a distance, while others hit you out of nowhere like a Mack truck. Usually, we talk about difficulties as if they are “valleys.” In other words, a valley is a low point in your life. Perhaps a “low” moment in your life is when your…

I’ve preached Psalm 90 at funerals for 25 years. It’s the oldest Psalm. It was written by Moses, most likely during his wandering wilderness experience in the last 40 years of his life. Moses lived his first 40 years in pagan Egypt, his middle 40 years as a humble shepherd, and his last 40 years…

Unity, anointing, and blessing go together. Without God’s anointing by His Holy Spirit, there can be no unity. Where people are not united in His Spirit, there is no blessing of God. In Psalm 133, David conveyed in three short verses that the Holy Spirit’s presence in the lives of His people brings unity that…

In Psalm 132, the psalmist’s desire was to give God His rightful dwelling place (vv. 1-5), give God worship He deserves (vv. 6-9), and trust God for His blessings through His covenant (vv. 10-18). Those are excellent priorities for the Christian today – to desire God’s presence, worship Him, and trust His faithfulness. So many…

We have three enemies that can keep our soul from flourishing in Christ: The devil tempts our flesh with worldly lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Our flesh loves these! The devil tempts us so we will give in to sin and be drawn away…
