Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, you are worried and upset about many things (Luke 10:41) Understanding the word “omnipotent” is important to us – exceedingly so! The Creator of our vast universe is all powerful. He is able to do anything He wants to do. Puny, human minds think of our Creator as limited in power. How ridiculous! It’s unreasonable …

By Mary Carothers One night long ago, near the little town of Bethlehem, shepherds were in the field, watching over their sheep. There is no evidence that it was any different from other nights.

How the Father longs for these words to be a reality in the hearts and lives of His blood-bought children. To feel that our security rests in our finances, …
The following principle may be a little difficult to understand, but once understood it can release us from a multitude of burdens. Remember the old song, “Take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there”? Much of the time our “burden” is someone with whom we are associated.

But, like all the rest of us, Mary “blew it” on one occasion, anyway. Lazarus had died. Jesus hadn’t gotten there in time. When He …
Faith in God is crucial to our happiness. Faith supplies an inner peace that meets our deepest needs. Unbelievers clutch at straws in their passion to persuade us that there is no God, but our hearts know better. We are born with inner conviction that there is a Supreme Being. Therefore, believing in and trusting God gives us inner joy. …
Loved Prison to Praise back in the ‘70’s and still do!! Bill, WI Let me share with you how I got the book Prison to Praise. We had to call a repairman to fix our air conditioner and we had prayed for the Lord to send the right person. When he completed the job, he gave us a copy of …
