A SETTLED LIFE OF SEPARATION

A SETTLED LIFE OF SEPARATION

by Bill Elliff September 20, 2023

The beginning pages of Genesis give us the operating principles upon which God and man were to function. God, in mercy, provided a garden with every possible goodness. He intended for man to enjoy this perfect environment but, most importantly, to enjoy God’s continual presence. God and man and wife would walk together.

“HE MADE THE STARS ALSO”

“HE MADE THE STARS ALSO”

by Bill Elliff September 19, 2023

When you’re lifted up in pride or bowed down in discouragement, look at the stars. Every bright light reminds us that He is God and there is no other. The One who made the stars and knows them by name, made you. And you are of infinite worth to our Sovereign Creator.

“He made the stars also.”

THE ASSAULT ON OUR CREATOR

THE ASSAULT ON OUR CREATOR

by Bill Elliff August 31, 2023

You may not notice it, but every assault on God in this life is an assault on that foundational truth. Consider what deception and anarchy results if we resist the truth that God created everything.

GOD’S TIMELESS MESSAGES TO US (Part 2)

GOD’S TIMELESS MESSAGES TO US (Part 2)

by Bill Elliff August 30, 2023

If you want to improve and grow, wouldn’t you want someone to give you the best possible evaluation of where you are? No one sees you and those around you like Christ Himself. In Revelation 2-3, Christ comes to seven specific churches of His day and tells them God’s evaluation. But these letters to the seven churches also represent every church in every age.

God is always speaking. We may not be listening, but if we are, through His Word and Spirit, He will tell us everything we need to know about everything we need to know about.

LOOK AT HIM!

by Bill Elliff August 28, 2023

God wants us to know His triune self. He has gone to extraordinary lengths to make Himself accessible, even to the sending of His Son, who took upon human flesh. John says that when we saw Jesus, we saw His glory … the glory of God’s only begotten Son, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). And He has placed His Spirit inside every true believer giving us the capacity to know Him personally.

THE ABOLITION OF MAN

THE ABOLITION OF MAN

by Bill Elliff August 27, 2023

I recently heard a soul-searching interview with a woman who writes on transgender issues. She traces back to the originators of the transgender movement and relates that their intent is not TRANSGENDERISM, but TRANSHUMANISM. In other words, their driving passion is to come to the point where man is creating man.

DO YOU LOVE GOD … REALLY?

DO YOU LOVE GOD … REALLY?

by Bill Elliff August 25, 2023

How do we know if we love God and others in the way the Father has designed and desires? How do we know if we are in the highest, best place in this life?

SLOW TO ANGER

SLOW TO ANGER

by Bill Elliff August 24, 2023

We’ve all experienced it. Some of us have a harder time with this than others. It is easy to explode. To fly off the handle. To let our anger erupt before we’ve even thought about what is happening when we feel misunderstood or marginalized.

WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART?

WHAT'S IN YOUR HEART?

by Bill Elliff August 23, 2023

"How blessed is the man," the Psalmist says, "in whose heart are the highways to Zion!" In other words, this man has found the path to God’s presence. He knows how to get there and to live there. He naturally finds himself turning there. He is so enamored by the Lord's presence and so uninterested in every other place, that his heart is forever turning to Christ.

HE HIMSELF

HE HIMSELF

by Bill Elliff August 21, 2023

It is our great problem and the reason for all that is evil in this world. Man chose to sin from the beginning—to run independently from the God who made him. And the results have been catastrophic. No one could deliver us from the foundational problem that separates us from God … except One.

OH, TO BE SAVED FROM MYSELF!

OH, TO BE SAVED FROM MYSELF!

by Bill Elliff August 18, 2023

Pride is such a devious and deadly sin. I find it creeps upon my soul when I least expect it, and suddenly and almost unconsciously, I'm worried about what others think, anxious to be known, drawing attention to myself, thinking about and pampering my desires before others’ needs, and on and on. It chokes my intimacy with Christ, turning my eyes from Him to myself. It makes me a sorry friend, more interested in what others can do for me than I for them. It robs me of genuine love, quick generosity, selfless service—everything that we want our lives to truly be.
