Secure by admin

One of the most comforting truths for me is the joy of my salvation. “Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain me with a willing spirit.” (Psalm 51:12)

In the midst of life’s storms when I’m beat down and confused or when Satan unrelentingly assaults me with lies, I fall back on what I know: God saved me and he will always take care of me. I am in the grip of his grace and along the way God will hold my hand. “When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.” (Psalm 37:24)

Connected by admin

“All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” (Acts 2:44-47)

I was struck as I prepared my message covering Acts 16:1-15 at the impact a young boy named Timothy has had on the world – yet we know almost nothing about him. We know that Timothy was saved as a direct result of Paul’s ministry during his first missionary journey, and that on Paul’s second journey, he decided to take this young protégé along with him – and the world has never been the same!

Free by admin

Christian, we are free! Romans 8:1-2 states “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.” We have tremendous freedom as believers. We must never let go of that truth!

Yet there is another truth that we must never let go of either! In 1 Corinthians 8:12 Paul writes “… when you sin against other believers by encouraging them to do something they believe is wrong, you are sinning against Christ.” These two parallel themes run throughout Scripture. We have tremendous freedom in Christ and a mature believer limits their freedom for the sake of others.

Thirsty by admin

Recently I read a prayer in an old Puritan book that encouraged and challenged me. The Puritan prayer was this: “As the sun is full of light, the ocean full of water, heaven full of glory, so may my heart be full of Thee.”

The Bible is filled with verses that speak of the deep desire for more of God’s presence in our lives.

Here is how the Psalmist phrased it in Psalm 42:1: “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.”

Generous by admin

“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!” (2 Corinthians 9:15, NIV)

I recently had the opportunity to travel to Romania and to see firsthand how your generous contributions are making a difference in people’s lives around the world — a very real difference.

After a prayer meeting on the night before I left Romania, Bob, the director of the ministry center where we stayed, took my hands and pulled me close. He looked into my eyes and with much compassion said, “Pastor Bill, when you get back to Utah could you please make sure to thank The Rock Church for their wonderful generosity and for making a real difference with the gypsies in Romania?”

Prey by admin

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Have you ever watched a lion hunt? He silently stalks, keeping his eyes on his prey, pacing and waiting until the perfect moment to POUNCE! His prey are typically unsuspecting, distracted and unaware that they are about to be killed. And this is the exact picture the Bible paints of the devil.

We’re in the middle of a battle, facing three distinct enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. The world is our enemy because it constantly communicates that personal glory and fulfillment can be attained apart from the eternal Christ, in temporal things such as fame, sexual immorality, money, and power.
