For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building." 1 Corinthians 3:7, 9 How easy it is for those of us who serve the Lord to forget that we are laborers together with God. As workers in the field, we have equal value to God. In planting the seed of ...
Keep Reading"Unto You I lift up my eyes, O You Who dwell in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hands of their masters, and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us." Psalm 123:2 Like the servants of old, we too must keep our eyes upon God for clear direction in our service to Him. In the...
Keep ReadingAnd He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."

Keep Reading"So I answered them, and said to them, “The God of Heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore, we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem.’" Neh. 2:20 One can't move without creating friction, and that is especially true of God's servants. Nehemiah, with a few good men, in the dark of night had circled J...

He includes Timothy in that title as well. “Saints†is a N.T. word that describes all...
Keep Reading"And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go free. Then his master shall bring him unto the judged; he shall also bring him to the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him forever." Ex. 21:5, 6 The freeing of the slaves in our country is one of the most memorable days in...
Keep Reading"So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you." Exodus 23:25 "So" is a transition word from what they would be tempted to serve in their new land (pagan idols) and Him whom they should serve, the Lord their God. Following through and serving the Lord would result in a three-fold b...
Keep Reading"If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall My servant also be; him will my Father honor." John 12:26 When He spoke these words, Jesus was only six days away from the unutterable anguish of the cross, the hour for which He came into the world. A true servant of Jesus Christ will faithfully follow Him wherever He goes. You won't find one without...
Keep Reading"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other you can't serve God and money."
