BE READY AND COME UP IN THE MORNING

BE READY AND COME UP IN THE MORNING

by Bill Elliff October 17, 2024

Our greatest misconception is that God is uninterested in us. From the beginning our Ancient Enemy has deceived us into thinking that God is holding out and on us and that He has no interest in our fellowship.

But the testimony of Scripture (and of men and women who have known Him) shatters this lie like a hammer shattering a rock.

by Bill Elliff March 25, 2024

Everyone has old information in their minds. And, "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he" (Proverbs 23:7). The information, opinions, beliefs, and values accumulated in our minds determine everything we do.

WHAT WILL YOU DELIGHT IN THIS YEAR?

by Bill Elliff January 01, 2024

Satan’s great agenda is to get us to delight in everything but God. Like he tried to do with the man, Jesus, in the wilderness, he dangles his delights before our eyes, tempting us to live for lesser things.

PROTECTING OUR MINDS

by Bill Elliff June 28, 2023

The Apostle Paul reminded us in Ephesians 6 that the devil has schemes. These are not random but deliberate and strategic methods he uses to keep us from God. To “steal, kill, and destroy” people.

YOUR DIET DETERMINES YOUR DELIGHT

by Bill Elliff August 11, 2022

Americans are world-class eaters. Some estimates are that the annual expenditure in the United States for all food is $1.1 trillion. We love to eat and go to extraordinary means to consume what we want. Eating provides the nutrition to live, but it’s also a means of satisfaction on a daily basis.

SET IN HIS WAYS

SET IN HIS WAYS

by Bill Elliff May 30, 2022

Habits can be terribly bad or wonderfully good. The Psalmist's prayer was for a good habit. In fact, the best of all habits. The entirety of Psalm 119 is intended to convince us of the unbelievable value of listening to God through His Word and then following His directives.

REMEMBERING

by Bill Elliff March 30, 2021

It takes almost no energy for us to forget what God has done. There is enough pride in our hearts and distraction in our world to pull us away quickly from understanding God’s activity in our history and His directives for our lives.

by Bill Elliff January 12, 2021

WHY YOU MUST READ THE BIBLE EVERYDAY

by Bill Elliff December 10, 2020

Every follower of Christ has some belief that he should read the Bible. But for many, it is an optional exercise. In reality it is indispensable. Paul convinces us of this in two brief verses to his young son in the faith, Timothy.
