Gone with the Wind

Greg Hill2020-09-29T02:49:47+00:00

"Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away." Psalm 1:4. In sin we looked for that thing that will fill that void inside of us. We would try this or that, and it would be pleasing for the moment but it would not fill the void. Nothing seemed to ever be enough, and no combination of things ever added up to the right amount to cure the problem. We chased after different things to satisfy, but it was like we were being blown around by the wind with nothing to hold onto, no foundation to steady [...]

After the rain

Greg Hill2020-09-26T03:36:48+00:00

There was a young farmer waiting on the rain early one year. He was wanting to get his fields plowed and ready to go for the sowing time. Then, a hard storm came, it damaged part of the barn, and knocked down several large trees. One of the trees was the old oak that his grandaddy carved his initials into with his wife when they bought the farm some seventy years earlier. The young farmer hated to see that old tree go, but he knew he had to move on, he had to get the plowing done while the ground was [...]

Power in prayer

Greg Hill2020-09-25T01:39:22+00:00

The pastor at the church we go to has mentioned several times throughout the past year that he would love to get to be in service with his Mom once again. She is getting older and her health isn't what it used to be. Our pastor lives in Virginia like we do, but his Mom lives in Ohio, and they had to wait for the right time so that she would be able to take that trip. He had been praying for, only the Lord knows how long, to be able to go to church with His Mom again. Then, two [...]

Buffets

Greg Hill2020-09-22T03:06:01+00:00

A lot of people enjoy eating at a buffet. You can get what you want and not the things you dislike. At a buffet if you don't like veggies, you don't have to get them. Although it may feel good for a moment, you will eventually regret that decision. Some people take the idea of a buffet way too far, there are a lot of Christians that like to pick and choose in the Bible. Some may want to only read about heaven, and ignore the fact that hell is a real place. Some may want to take parts of the [...]

Skim Milk

Greg Hill2020-09-21T03:08:58+00:00

Skim milk is milk that has been watered down substantially. It is almost to the point that you can't call it milk anymore, there may be a little tiny bit of milk, but that's it. There are many who water down the Word of God. They compromise on their beliefs because the message of Christ does not sit well with some people. Most do not like to hear that they are sinners, nor do they want to think of the punishment they deserve, that we all deserved. Yet as Christians who have accepted Christ and know what happens to people who [...]

Focused on your mark

Greg Hill2020-09-20T02:48:32+00:00

There is a target company that I shoot for and one of my favorite things about this particular target is just how easy it is to focus on that target. The way the target is shaped and colored helps you to aim well. As Christians, we have a mark that we are aiming for. We are aiming to become more like Christ each and every day. It is not easy to become more Christlike, but God will help us achieve it. God will help us to focus on Him, and even though Satan will fight for your attention, you have to [...]

Family in Christ

Greg Hill2020-09-18T03:28:52+00:00

"As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend." Proverbs 27:17. As Christians we need to make sure we are shining a light for those who haven't accepted Christ, we also need to make sure that we are there to sharpen other Christians. We need to be there to encourage other brothers and sisters in Christ. We need to be there to pray for them, and often times to hold each other accountable. The more Christians work together, and are there for one another the better that God will be glorified. I am so thankful to have people in my [...]

Kneeling

Greg Hill2020-09-16T02:46:02+00:00

One thing that aggravates me, to put it nicely, is to see people kneeling during the National Anthem, or to disrespect our flag in any way. Many lost their lives 19 years and 4 days ago trying to rescue the people trapped in the rubble from the terrorist attacks on 9/11. There have been so many more lives sacrificed so that our flag can wave freely in every town in our country. Our rights have been protected by the countless men and women who have served our country. It is an outright shame for people to mock the flag. As more [...]

Unshakable

Greg Hill2020-09-13T03:28:20+00:00

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." Colossians 2:6-7. I use these two verses quite often, and that is because I feel led to. As Christians we have to read and study God's Word. I cannot stress it enough. We have to dig deep into Christ. We have to let our roots grow deep. It is one thing to know about the Rock, but another to have Him be your foundation. You have [...]

God’s warnings

Greg Hill2020-09-12T02:53:33+00:00

When it comes to temptation, God always gives us a way to escape. Even as far back as the Garden of Eden. God even gave Cain a warning before he murdered his brother. God said, "If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it." Genesis 4:7 NIV. God was giving Cain a warning. God desired that Cain would rule over sin, but just the opposite happened. Cain fell for the temptation. Instead of [...]
