Giving Our Best

by Don Wright

Offering sacrificing to God has always been a part of spiritual service. While under the Law of Moses the people were to offer to God animal sacrifices, today our sacrifices are spiritual in nature (1 Peter 2:5). Regardless of the type of sacrifice offered, God has always demanded that those offering give their best. Leviticus […]

The Love of God

by Don Wright

John 3:16 (ESV) 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. This might be the most popular passage in the entire Bible. More importantly, it sets forth a syn-opsis of God’s plan of salvation. The redemption of mankind […]

The Wrath of God

by Don Wright

When we think of the characteristics of God, we usually think of things that are beneficial to us. This is not surprising since the majority of those characteristics work in our favor. Because of this, however, the wrath of God is largely ignored when discussing the nature of God, at least by man. The Bible […]

The Grace of God

by Don Wright

We have been observing different characteristics of God this week. We have seen that God is merciful and patient. Another characteristic or attribute of God’s is grace. God grace is what al-lows us to have confidence in our salvation in spite of our many shortcomings. Sadly, there is much confusion about the subject of grace. […]

The Patience of God

by Don Wright

If there is one characteristic that we should be very happy that God has, it is the fact that He is longsuffering. If it were not for the patience of God, we would have little hope of making it to Heaven. Patience, however, is something that God has always shown in His dealings with man, […]

The Mercy of God

by Don Wright

God is the progenitor of mercy. He gave birth to the concept of being merciful. 2 Corinthians 1:3 (ESV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, To show mercy is to demonstrate pity and compassion. From the time sin was introduced […]

CONCENTRATION

by Don Wright

By Mike Davis There was a popular game show on television called “Concentration.” The host I remember was Hugh Downs, although several other men hosted the show through the years. Contestants would choose a number between one and thirty, behind which was a prize. If the prizes matched, you won the prize. The player matching […]

The Saving Power of God’s Word

by Don Wright

The greatest value of the Word of God is its power to save. It is amazing that there is so much talk today about being saved by faith alone. It does not seem to matter that the Bible never says that. It is preached like it was stated on every page of the Word of […]

The Growing Value of God’s Word

by Don Wright

Are you satisfied with where you are spiritually? I am afraid that too many Christians have grown content with their spiritual condition, believing that where they are is good enough. “After all,” they say, “if where I am spiritually is good enough to get me to heaven, why should I be concerned with being better?” […]

The Defending Value of God’s Word

by Don Wright

The devil is alive and active. Peter tells us that he is, “as a roaring lion, walking about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).  Do not underestimate Satan. He is crafty and shrewd, and he is the most skillful liar in the world (John 8:44). He also has years of experience, so he […]
