Knowing the Heart

Greg Hill2020-10-21T01:49:58+00:00

"then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart)," 1 Kings 8:39. King Solomon, the wisest man to ever exist, knew this, that he could not know the heart of all people. God knows the heart of all people. He knows the intent of the heart in every move we make. It is good that God is our judge, because He knows the heart. When we act, someone may be aggravated with why or how we did something, but they [...]

Timing

Greg Hill2020-10-20T02:08:52+00:00

Sometimes we ask God why things happen, or why events played out the way they did. Christians are also guilty of asking God why He waited to do a miracle. God's timing is not always our timing, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, God's timing is not always our timing. God has reasons for doing things when we either do not expect them, or we feel like we've been waiting for a while. The number one reason is because He will receive more glory, for performing not only how, but when He does. This should be the most [...]

Trusting

Greg Hill2020-10-19T03:19:13+00:00

"In you, LORD my God, I put my trust." Psalm 25:1. This is one of my favorite verses to read. Sometimes we just don't know why something happens the way it did. I tend to get caught up on, "God, why did you let this happen this way" which I'm working on that. Sometimes we have to stand back and remind ourselves to trust Him. He knows what He is doing, He knows where He is guiding us. He knows the answers to the what, when, where, why, and how questions we ask. He knows the answers, we do not have [...]

The Arrow pt. 2

Greg Hill2020-10-11T02:14:56+00:00

So last night we talked about the tip of the arrow and the lesson that we normally give with that part of the arrow, tonight I want to talk about the insert. The insert for those who do not know is a metal piece glued into the shaft so that you can screw in a field point or broad head. It holds the tip securely in place. Last night we mentioned that the tip of the arrow is similar to God's Word, well, when a person accepts Christ, the Holy Spirit that Christ sends helps us to hold onto God's Word. [...]

Quiz Time

Greg Hill2020-10-09T03:11:18+00:00

Little children often do not like to study for a quiz or test at school. Sometimes they feel like they know all the answers and they do not need to waste their time in review of what they have learned. We can sometimes be the same way in our walk with God. We do not always like to go back and reread a verse we feel like we understand. Yet, God will often teach us more out of that verse than what we would think. We can read and apply a verse for its face value, but often times there is [...]

Look at the good

Greg Hill2020-10-07T03:28:31+00:00

Sometimes when things happen we look at the negatives. As Christians we cannot afford to do this. We have to look at the positive side of things, and even when we feel rattled, when we have to look hard to find the good in something, we need to do it. It can be easy to throw ourselves a pity party, it can be easy to complain, and the more we do that the more chance that gives Satan to tempt us to say or think things that we shouldn't. We cannot give him that chance, rather we should seek out the [...]

Stories

Greg Hill2020-10-04T02:12:14+00:00

I saw where someone had written in a notebook, "God's still writing your story, stop trying to steal the pen, trust the author." So often we have everything planned out, we know exactly what we are going to do, or so we think. Often times we count our chickens before they hatch, or in other words, we make plans too far ahead of schedule. We try to take the pen from the One who is writing our story. God knows what He is doing. He has a plan for our lives and He wants us to trust Him. He wants us [...]

Excitement

Greg Hill2020-10-03T02:04:05+00:00

In many places around the country archery deer season has opened up, however, in Virginia, archery deer season opens tomorrow morning. I cannot wait to get up in the morning and get out in the woods. This past week has been a long one just waiting for season. As Christians, we wait for when our Savior will call us to be with Him in heaven. We wait for that day, we watch for that day, and we long for that day. Yet, we do not have to sit idly by while waiting on the Lord. We can be doing something. We [...]

Step back

Greg Hill2020-10-01T01:45:20+00:00

"Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name." Psalms 130:1. When we get aggravated or flustered the best thing to do is just to step back, and thank God for His Blessings and to praise Him for His goodness. There are so many tools that Satan uses to attack us, whether it is the little accidents in the day, events at work, things on the news or social media, and others. Satan wants nothing less than the downfall of Christianity, and the closer we get to the rapture of the church, the harder he fights. We [...]

Rest

Greg Hill2020-09-30T03:19:17+00:00

"And he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath" Mark 2:27. God made the Sabbath for us to rest. God knows that we need rest. We are to work heartily as for the Lord, but at the same time we have to take care of the body God gave us. God knows that our bodies need rest, and at the same time He knows that our souls need rest. God made the Sabbath for our souls to be refreshed in Him. What happens when you go to church? Your Spirit finds rest, it finds [...]
