GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE

GOD MEETS US WHERE WE ARE

by Bill Elliff January 09, 2020

We often doubt God, worrying over things which God has already revealed to us. This is one of the reasons He has given us the overabundance of promises in His Word. He invites us to go back again and again and renew our doubting hearts. Our knowing Father understands our frame and realizes that we often need multiple assurances.

Abraham needed a final push toward faith and the Great Shepherd graciously provided. God met Abraham in his faith journey where he was to take him where he needed to be. And, He will do the same for you.

THE

THE "I WILL" OF GOD

by Bill Elliff January 08, 2020

There are over 7,000 of these promises in Scripture to us! This is God’s operating system with man. He gives us a faith directive and promises the results. And, He is always faithful.

He is saying, “I WILL” to you today, if you will listen to Him through His word and follow Him in obedience, trusting in His promises. One of the greatest tragedies at the end of our lives will be to realize how much more we could have experienced of God if we had believed and obeyed our “I WILL” God.

THE OWNERSHIP OF GOD

THE OWNERSHIP OF GOD

by Bill Elliff January 07, 2020

God is not a debtor to us. We are a debtor to Him. Forever. God knows what He is doing with us and around us and with His world. He does not even owe us an explanation, although He often condescends to give us one.

THE SOVEREIGN POWER OF OUR PROVIDING GOD

THE SOVEREIGN POWER OF OUR PROVIDING GOD

by Bill Elliff January 06, 2020

It’s our greatest problem. We measure God in our own image. Thinking He is just like us, we limit God in our mind and the results are disastrous. As J.B. Phillips said, “Our God is too small.”

But throughout history God gives constant reminder that although we are made in His image, He is not made in ours. He is God. He is sovereign and rules over all. And, His power is incomprehensible.

GOD'S MEMORY

GOD'S MEMORY

by Bill Elliff January 04, 2020

God’s memory is perfect, because God is perfect. But the most beautiful thing about His memory is that He chooses to remember us, and in His remembering, to help us.

GOD IN THE MIDST OF OUR SIN

GOD IN THE MIDST OF OUR SIN

by Bill Elliff January 02, 2020

The tragic beginning of our sinfulness is recorded in the dawn of human history. Genesis, Chapter 3, recounts the temptation given by Satan and the sad choices of Adam and Eve to believe Satan’s lies, doubt God’s character, and disobey God.

The most notable truth of this chapter is not man’s sinfulness, but God’s response. It tells us of the God with whom we have to do. Since He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, this response is always to be expected from God.

THE COMPLETENESS OF GOD'S CREATION

THE COMPLETENESS OF GOD'S CREATION

by Bill Elliff January 01, 2020

For thousands of years, man has sought to come up with a theory that explains the creation of the world. Many men have tried to do this with God out of the equation. This simply cannot be done, because it did not happen that way. This is why every theory that excludes God simply doesn’t work. Our best thoughts of a God-less creation fall woefully short.

UNDERSTANDING OUR NATION BIBLICALLY

UNDERSTANDING OUR NATION BIBLICALLY

by Bill Elliff December 18, 2019

It is not often we read the Minor Prophets like Habakkuk in the Bible. We think they are not relevant. But in these prophets we find some of the most applicable of all Scriptures. Reading them is like listening to the most current news broadcast.

"CHECED"

by Bill Elliff December 17, 2019

PSALM 136

… is an amazing Psalm. The Psalmist recounts 26 different things God had done for Israel. Each statement is followed by this refrain “For His lovingkindness (checed) is everlasting.” It’s almost hard for us to read because of the redundancy of this statement. But that redundancy is the point. Every statement of what God has done for us should be followed by a humble, awe-inspired statement of gratitude.

OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF MAN

OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF MAN

by Bill Elliff December 13, 2019

The fear of man is one of the most debilitating of all phobias. A man-fearing spirit leads to constant bondage as you wonder what everyone thinks of you. What is their opinion? Do they think I’m good or bad, capable or inept? Am I popular? Is how I look acceptable (according their current standards, of course)? Am I good enough? The Devil loves to find and exploit this fear.

Do You Really Love Jesus?

by Bill Elliff December 10, 2019

There are many things I do in my Christian life. But all of these pale in comparison to one central issue which can be captured in the ultimate question.

Do I love Jesus?
