Word of God

Word of God

"...man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD" (Deuteronomy 8:3).

God's word is more than a series of books or a codified set of rules. It's a way of life that shapes who we are, what we value, how we live—and what we'll die for. It's a word that drives and sustains us, that provides us with guidance, strength and answers in the face of all life's challenges. It's a word that you need.

You've Got to Stand for Something!

by Randy Stiver

Many today have embraced tolerance for everything, mistakenly thinking they haven't taken a stand. But no stand is often also a stand. How can you decide what you will stand for?

Inherent Beliefs

A blog post by Whitney Creech

One of the most important things I’ve learned in my three years of marriage is that everyone has grown up learning different ways to do daily tasks: washing the dishes, doing the laundry, folding clothes, etc. I had to learn that my husband’s way of folding a t-shirt is just as effective as mine. In fact, his way actually saved some time. So I put my pride aside and quickly learned a more effective way to get laundry done. This is a simple example of how learning something new can actually be good, even though it’s not the way I was raised.

Satan's Clever Tactics

A blog post by Steven Britt

The serpent, or snake, is biblically associated with Satan.

The Bible gives strong warnings that Satan is a competent adversary. Paul's motivation for instructing us to put on the armor of God is "to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against... spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:11-12). But God goes beyond mere warning and provides us with first-hand accounts of Satan's interactions with men. A considerate reading of these can give valuable insight into just how frighteningly clever the devil really is!

This man, who is also known as the “Ethiopian eunuch”, was searching for understanding of God’s word, when God specifically sent his servant Philip to help him along in His calling from God.
