We deserve Hell!

May 31, 2010 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Job 11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. There is a strong Biblical truth in this phrase. We deserve more punishment than we get. Thanks to the grace of God we […]

Blaming God

May 30, 2010 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Everything that can go wrong has! Life is literally falling apart for Job. He has no idea why. For that reason this verse means a lot to me. When things go wrong we tend to blame God. We need someone to blame. We […]

Is a king’s decree the only way to get honor?

May 29, 2010 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Esther 1:20 And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. This verse is an indictment to the men of that day and even of today. These men wanted to […]

That’s real preaching

May 28, 2010 By Austin Gardner 1 Comment

Nehemiah 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. What is real Bible preaching?

Spiritual Sadness

May 27, 2010 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Nehemiah 2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers’ sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire? Nehemiah is very sad because he knows the great needs of the work of God. His […]

Update on the Tolson Family

May 26, 2010 By trent cornwell 3 Comments

Passionate about Jesus If there is one thing that all of us know about the Tolson Family, it is that they are passionate about Jesus. This has never been more evident than it is now! In John 15:5, it says “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I […]

Ezra 8:21 Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. Ezra stops everything to seek God and find out how God wants them to live […]

1Chronicles 22:5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it.

Declare His glory

May 18, 2010 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

1Chronicles 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works among all nations.
