I was remembering a church service from several years ago. Something happened in that service that proved to me the importance of having the pure word of God. It was near the beginning of worship when a man stood up and read the following verse from his Bible. Read more »

I have just completed reading Goforth of China by Roaslind Goforth. This is the second edition published March, 1938 and it was given to me by one of my children. I have read other books about Jonathan Goforth, but this book has made a deep impression on me.

Each new year, resolutions are made, but seldom do they result in lasting change or improvement. Most resolutions are filled with good intentions. Each one is a hope that something will be different or make our lives better. They are decisions born out of need; the need to stop sinning.

Have you ever wondered what effect your environment has on you? It’s amazing how your perceptions and assumptions shape your experiences. For example, what is it like to be expecting milk when your glass is filled with orange juice? Your mind has you prepared to taste milk, but you are quite surprised when it tastes all wrong.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:9
Sometimes when we are fearful, we need someone to tell us what to do. When you have doubts, a person you trust can tell you what to do and it helps you conquer your doubts.
Joshua is leading Israel into the promised land. Fear was one of their enemies, not just the inhabitants of the land. Joshua had to remind them several times of God’s command and his promise.
We too can be paralyzed by fear. Remember that God commands us to “be strong and of a good courage.” We are not to be afraid or dismayed. How can we do this? It is through the sure knowledge that our Lord and our God is with us, withersoever we go!
