Recently, I was emailed by a young man asking me to give him some advice on how to find the will of God for his life.  Below are a few thoughts that I wrote down and emailed to him: Read the revealed will of God in the Word of God every day and seek to [...]

1 Kings 12:7 “And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.” Young Rehoboam was faced with a crucial decisions.  The people were tired of Solomon’s [...]

Gideon was an ordinary guy chosen by God to do an extraordinary job.  God was ready to deliver them from the crushing hand of the Midianites, and Gideon was the chosen leader.

Numbers 16:1-3 “Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, [...]

Psalm 101:2 “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.” God wants us to be who we should be not just do what we should do.  This psalm is all about the lifestyle of a man who [...]

Esther 10:2 “And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia? For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among [...]

Esther 1:22 “For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house,a nd that it should be published according to the language of every people.” King Ahasuerus and the men of [...]
