OUR CREATOR TAKING CARE OF US

by Bill Elliff February 16, 2022

In the book of Leviticus, Chapter 11 and following, there is a long list of animals that are to be regarded by God’s nation, Israel as “clean” or “unclean.” Unclean animals are to be avoided for eating and carefully dealt with.

We read over these chapters quickly, usually paying little attention. But in these instructions, if we listen, we can learn one more beautiful truth about God:

God cares for His children!

UNDERSTANGING GOD

UNDERSTANGING GOD

by Bill Elliff December 02, 2021

God’s enemies constantly paint an awful caricature of Him. They love to go to the extremes: a mean harsh, unloving God, or a soft, useless, impotent old man—like a glorified Santa Claus.

UNDERSTANDING GOD’S WAYS

UNDERSTANDING GOD’S WAYS

by Bill Elliff March 01, 2021

We are created in God’s image, and the fact that we have patterns is a residual effect of how we were created. Sin has damaged this, of course, but just as we have our ways, so does God. Knowing God’s ways is highly important in understanding and following Him.

THE CYCLE OF OUR SIN AND GOD’S GRACE

THE CYCLE OF OUR SIN AND GOD’S GRACE

by Bill Elliff July 15, 2020

“Prone to wander, Lord I feel it; prone to leave the God I love.” The hymn writer captured in a sentence what is universally true of man. Our humanity is weak, the devil is strong, and the world pulls us relentlessly away from God. Even those who have come into a relationship with Christ still wander at times.

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO A BROKEN NATION?

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO A BROKEN NATION?

by Bill Elliff July 08, 2020

Nehemiah knew that only God could stem the tide and reverse the decay. Only God could mercifully forgive and return His glory to the land. Only God. Only God.

As you survey the land today, what do you suppose this is a time to do?

SIMPLE MEN AND A SOVEREIGN GOD

SIMPLE MEN AND A SOVEREIGN GOD

by Bill Elliff July 07, 2020

It is one of the wonders of the world. One of the most unexplainable things in human history. In fact, if you divorce God from the story, it is impossible to explain.

God takes simple men and women and uses them to change history.

OUR BITTERSWEET MOURNING FOR THE SAVIOR

by Bill Elliff June 30, 2020

Hundreds of years before Christ, the prophet Zechariah prophesied with Divine precision of what would happen one day in Jerusalem. It is a prophecy that describes what occurred and how it affects all of us who have become believers in Jesus Christ.

GOD IS WAITING

GOD IS WAITING

by Bill Elliff June 29, 2020

One of the greatest truths in heaven or earth is that God is willing to come to us. In one of the last minor prophets of the Old Testament He speaks to His people through Zechariah reminding them once again that He is waiting.

GOD MOVES NATIONS AND NATIONAL LEADERS

GOD MOVES NATIONS AND NATIONAL LEADERS

by Bill Elliff June 24, 2020

We somehow think that God is far removed from the political scene. That men just do what they want, and God is nowhere to be found. But we forget the record in Scripture of how God moved upon leaders of many nations to accomplish His purposes.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD COMES

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN GOD COMES

by Bill Elliff June 18, 2020

It is one of the ways of God. Periodically in history He opens the windows of heaven and comes down with His manifest presence. We call these moments “revival” as it affects the church and “spiritual awakening” as it impacts people without Christ.

Spiritual results happen at an accelerated pace with stunning results. These outpourings bring a course correction to nations and most importantly, they glorify God. Nationwide movements usually happen at the worst times in a culture, when they realize the church realizes their only hope is God and lift a united cry of desperation.

LOSING GOD'S PRESENCE

by Bill Elliff June 16, 2020

Everything flows from the presence of the Lord. Everything. If you have Him, you have everything that matters and lasts. Without Him, you have nothing of value.

THE CONSISTENT LOVINGKINDNESS OF GOD

by Bill Elliff June 15, 2020

God is not only loving, He is kind. Think of this. Imagine the kindness person you know, then magnify it by millions, for He is complete in His kindness. And then, meditate on this if you are one of His children: He has loved you with an everlasting love and drawn you with His perfect lovingkindness!
