In his detailed description of love in I Corinthians 13 Paul moves from telling us that love is patient and kind to telling us what love is not. “Love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek it’s own, is not provoked, thinks no...

I Corinthians 13:4 says “Love suffers long and is kind.” There is a correlation between patience and kindness, they work with each other, almost for each other. It is nearly impossible to be patient out of obligation, out of fear or selfishness, guilt or ambition. Patience is one of those things that does not appear...

One of God’s greatest attributes is that He is longsuffering. He announced this to Moses in Exodus 34 and then simply proved it over and over through Scripture and His activity in each of our lives. Longsuffering is much more than being willing to wait, John Reisinger writes, “Longsuffering is the ability to endure everything...

When Jesus first introduced the church in Matthew 16:18 He also made us three promises about the church. The church would be built by Him; the church would belong to Him and the church would not be overcome by the power of hell. These promises are for the Body of Christ at large, but I...

It was not attention, it was not power, it was not...

Isaiah 57:14 says “And one shall say, ‘Heap it up! Heap it up! Prepare the way, take the stumbling block out of the way (remove the obstacles) of My people.'” Each one of us face obstacles in our lives, some are of our own doing, some simply come from living in a fallen world and...

After 40 years of wandering Israel finally crossed over the Jordan River and stepped foot into their “Promised Land”. The first thing that God told them to do at that point was to circumcise all of the men. This assignment was one that required a step of faith for Joshua and the entire community. They were...
