All Spiritual Blessings in One Place

by Don Wright

Being in Christ is the best location in life.  To be in Christ, is to be a part of His body, the church (Colossians 1:18).  What are some of the benefits to be obtained in Christ?  All of them! Ephesians 1:3 (ESV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who […]

Be Aware of 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 most 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 certainly […]

Putting God First

by Don Wright

What is most important in your life?  As Christians, it should not take us that long to answer this question.  Our immediate response should be God.  Doing God’s will and pleasing Him should be at the top of our priority list.  That was first on the list of our Savior, and we should strive to […]

A Doing Religion

by Don Wright

What are you doing for Christ and His cause?  I have often pointed out that the religion of our Lord is a doing religion, and there are many passages to back up that sentiment. James 1:22 (ESV) 22  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James’ teaching on doing in […]

The Power of Knowledge

by Don Wright

Knowledge is power.  That is what they say in the world of academia.  However, we can say the same thing spiritually.  The knowledge of God’s Word is a great tool in the hands of a Christian.  How well do you know God and His Word?  The more you learn from God’s Word, the more equipped […]

God sent His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh (Romans 8:3) The conquering of sin, however, required more than the manifestation of God’s Son in the flesh.  Jesus […]

Set for the Defense of the Gospel

by Don Wright

What a great benefit it is to have God’s Word.  When we consider not only the advantage we have due to it (Romans 3:1-2) but also the huge sacrifices that so many made through the years so that we might have access to it, we should be very protective of it.   Paul was. Philippians 1:15-17 […]

Why Should We Pray?

by Don Wright

As Christians, prayer should be a permanent fixture in our lives.  Not a day should go by without us praying to our Father, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Why should we pray?  Let us look at some reasons for bowing our knees before the Father every day. We Should Pray […]

Sanctifying God in Our Hearts

by Don Wright

When it comes to greatness, majesty, glory, and power, there is no one like God.  He stands apart from everyone and everything. 1 Samuel 2:2 (ESV) 2  “There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God. Who besides God could have created the heavens […]

Our First Responsibility

by Don Wright

Christianity is a call to stewardship.  As Christians, we are all stewards of God.  A steward watches over and cares for the property and/or household of another.  The fact that God has placed us in this role shows the trust and confidence He has in us.  The question is what kind of stewards are we?  […]
