    God Magnifies His Word Above His Name

    Is It Really Possible for the Power of God’s Word to Exceed the Power of Jesus’ Name? -- Several years ago, I sat in a service listening to the pastor preach. I don’t remember what the sermon was about, but I remember one thing he said: God magnifies His Word above His name. What? How can that be? There is nothing more powerful than the name of Jesus. Is it really possible for the power of God’s Word to exceed the power of Jesus’ name?

    Is God Granting the Desires of Your Heart?

    Consider Where the Desires of Your Heart Come From -- For many years I have heard people pray, “Lord, grant her the desire of her heart.” I will admit I took up that prayer on occasion without understanding the source of it. Then one day I read it. King David prayed that prayer in Psalms 20:4 (NIV), “May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed.” In Psalm 145:16 King David praised God for satisfying the desire of every living thing. Have you prayed this prayer? Do you believe God will satisfy your every desire? Are there any caveats?

    Did You Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth After You Received Salvation?

In this post we will see how Eve and Moses looked a gift horse in the mouth and the consequences of doing so. We will also analyze whether we have done so after receiving salvation.
