Walk The Bible

(ASV) Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. Heb 13:5 Some time back I started worrying about how to save money for some of the needs I am having in my life. As this worry crept into my mind, there are traces of worry hovering around my mind. As I was going through the bible, God showed me the above verse. I have seen this verse many times before, but this time some how I felt God is speaking to me through this. This verse can be divided into the following components: To be free from Love of Money Contentment Promise To be free from Love of money Love of money is also refered as covetousness, greed or lust for more money. Paul also compared the love of money to idolatory. King James Bible mentiones that our conversation be without covetousness, which indicates that it is not good to even converse or talk about coveting more money. Covetousness leads to worry a...

NOTE: Taken from Chapter 2 of the book "The Pursuit of God" by A.W.Tozer Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:3 (Holy Bible) Before the Lord God made man upon the earth He first prepared for him by creating a world of useful and pleasant things for his sustenance and delight. In the Genesis account of the creation these are called simply 'things.' They were made for man's uses, but they were meant always to be external to the man and subservient to him. In the deep heart of the man was a shrine where none but God was worthy to come. Within him was God; without, a thousand gifts which God had showered upon him. But sin has introduced complications and has made those very gifts of God a potential source of ruin to the soul. Our woes began when God was forced out of His central shrine and 'things' were allowed to enter. Within the human heart 'things' have taken over. Men have now by nature no peace within thei...

The well known survivor of Nazi concentration camps by God's grace, Corrie Ten Boom writes in her book titled, " A Prisoner and yet... " While being imprisoned at Vught prison camp by Nazis, the women of Harlem (A town in Holland from where Corrie Ten Boom hails from) used to sing the following song under their pressing conditions: " We never let our courage fall, We hold our heads up high. They never, never will prevail, No matter how they try. Onward we press, our word is 'yes', Heads up, you women of Vught, heads up. " Their faith in the living God is the source of their confidence to sing the above song under such a horrible in-human treatment by Nazis. What an assurance of peace it is to know that the Joy of the Lord is indeed our strength as we go through the pressures of life and fight against the principalities of this dark world. It is in such circumstances as these that the character of christ is formed in us. Unless the seed dies, it canno...

Most people struggle with this question of identity at some point in their life. But this is a very important question which needs to be addressed. I try to address this question based on what Bible says about my identity. Until few years back, I struggled with this question and lived a life of "no identity, no purpose". Once I found the answer to this question, life became meanignful and I could face all those times of frustration, disappointment and boredom. The straight answer to this question is " I am the son of living God, who is the creator of heaven and earth ". In the very first page of bible, it was clearly mentioned that every individual is created in the image of God, irrespective of race, status, sex. " God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything tha...

Job's life was reviewed and testified by three people as we read in the bible. He was testied by the author and God as "This man was blameless and upright; he feared God ahd shunned evil" . Satan confesses about the blessedness of Job, "Have you(God) not put a hedge around him and his household and every thing he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land." From Job's life we see that Satan tries to accuse God's people all the time. But we need to take courage because God has washed our sins and made us righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ. As long as you take refuge under the blood of Jesus Christ, you have right standing before God. After his children were wiped out, his wealth was destroyed by various attacks created by Satan, after losing everything, Job submits himself with humility under God's might hand with an attitude of worship and worships God saying, "Naked I came f...

"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." Malachi 3:3 This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study And they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study. That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver. As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest! as to burn away all the impurities. The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: "He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver." She asked the silversmith if ...
