We live in an environment of rapidly changing standards. One such standard is the mental conditioning that has changed what is considered âgoodâ. In our vocabulary, good is a positive quality having positive or desirable qualities, in excellent condition, superior to average, satisfactory. All these things qualify âgoodâ as we understand it.

There is a Generation. . .
We are shown four things in scripture that God considers to be incredibly important at any point in time. The four characteristics in Proverbs 30 are referenced by the phrase "there is a generationâ. The Hebrew does not identify a particular generation. This generation can exist at any point in time as can the characteristics that are listed. We will see that each one provokes separation from God, as Satan works his work to separate man from God. The first point: âThere is a … [Read more...] about There is a Generation. . .
Husbands â A New Creation
John 1.1 states: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God."

Every now and again a social issue comes to our attention via the media that seems to have come out of nowhere. We havenât heard anything about it before. Where did it come from?

A Word of Encouragement
âA word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.â The author of that statement is unknown, but what can be known is that there is a lot of wisdom in it.

It is, however, not nearly as valuable as the encouragement needed to get to that eventual praise for success. When our children are little, there will always be certain things that they fail at, at … [Read more...] about A Word of Encouragement
