Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14?Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.Have you ever tried to go through a strait gate?

Colossians 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. 6?Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
How do you answer a man? People today always have an answer even if it is a foolish one. Ask people about the Lord, ask them about their place in eternity, ask them about spiritual things and they always have an answer, at least most people […] -

Genesis 15:12-21
And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 13?And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14?And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

Galatians 1:15-16 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16?To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:Here is a thought, there are times when God is pleased to use you and me in His work.

Mark 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
How much time do you spend alone with God? It is important that we worship the Lord in church, that we attend the public meetings of worship. If that were not so God never would have established and built His church. But even more important is the time when we are alone with God. Unfortunately for most Christians […]
