When I think of someone in the Bible who truly understood the goodness of God, one person that always comes to mind is David. God calls him a man after His own heart (1 Sam. 13:14; Acts 13:22).As a young shepherd tending his flock on the hills of Israel, David...
If you want to be a powerful force for God, make fellowship with Jesus your top priority.
If you were to ask me to name the most important principle of Christian living I’ve ever learned, I would answer you without hesitation. It is the secret of daily communion with God. That is, without question, the No. 1 priority of the Christian life. It is the key that opens every door.
Yet it is the one thing many Christians can’t seem to find time for.
God's best for you includes every good thing you could possibly need.If I began to tell you about heaven, I couldn't give you any firsthand information because I haven't been there. But I can teach on prosperity because that is something I have experienced. I've gone...
God’s protection is not automatic. There are choices you have to make for God to be your refuge.
The Bible is filled with accounts of God’s supernatural protection. Remember Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and the fiery furnace? What about Daniel and the lion’s den? God has no problem bringing you out of threatening circumstances. Time and again He has proven He is well able to get the job done.
But God’s protection is not automatic. There are choices you have to make for God to be your refuge. The psalmist says: “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust’” (Ps. 91:1-2, NKJV).
The best part of the Christian life, the one thing that is truly needful, is time spent with God.If you were to ask me to name the most important principle of Christian living I've ever learned, I would answer you without hesitation. It is the secret of daily...

How do you handle personal attacks, what the Bible calls persecution? When someone mistreats us or defames our character, it’s human nature to want to confront the person and retaliate with harsh words or actions. But the Bible calls for a different response. Romans 12:14 says, “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse” (NKJV). Our desire to vindicate ourselves is innate. We naturally want to protect our honor. But a Christ-like response requires maturity and self-control. To hear Gloria Copeland’s teaching on persecution, watch the video below.

I think the quickest way to ruin Valentine's Day is with strife. "Strife" means "vigorous or bitter conflict, discord and antagonism; to quarrel, struggle or clash; competition; rivalry." James 3:14-16 tells us clearly, "If ye have bitter envying and strife in your...
I first got excited about the word years ago when I read what my husband's mother had written in the front of a Bible she gave Ken for his birthday: “Ken, precious, seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things will be added unto...
by Gloria Copeland The only real freedom is in the Lord Jesus Christ. If you've been born again, the old man inside you, the one that had been held captive by the devil and made a slave to sin, has died. The power of sin over you has been broken forever! "[Your]...
by Gloria Copeland Love is the source of power for our successful Christian life. Galatians 5:6 even tells us that our faith works through love. Satan is continuously sending situations our way to tempt us to yield to the opposite of love, which is selfishness. As we...
“I just can't hear God; I know He speaks to some people, but He just doesn't speak to me!” If that's your situation, there are several possible reasons for it. First, to hear His voice and be sensitive to His promptings you need to have a relationship with the Lord,...
by Gloria Copeland "For God so loved the WORLD" is a wonderful phrase. If God didn't love us unconditionally, we would have no hope. John 3:16 gives us a picture of God's love: "For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His...
