GIF Pickin’ Fruit
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 Pickin’ Fruit by Larry Burkett The apostle Paul listed the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians, but I think the fruit that is most significant is the one he wrote about […]
GIF Commitment
“Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. And He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday.” Psalm 37:4-6 Commitment by Larry Burkett God calls each […]
GIF Changing My Name
“You are Peter [the rock], and upon this rock I will build My church.” Matthew 16:18 Changing My Name by Larry Burkett Jesus called Peter “The Rock” because he was solid. Yes, he fell short many times (including denying Christ three times), but God saw beyond that, knew his heart, and recognized his value. What […]
GIF Success and Pride
“Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18 NIV) Success and Pride by Chuck Bentley Beware of pride. I like to say that it is the easiest trait to spot in others but the most difficult to see in ourselves. The Lord described this paradox by saying, “First take the plank […]
GIF National Morality
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.” (Proverbs 14:34) National Morality by Larry Burkett The only way we, as God’s people, are ever going to restore morality to government is by demanding morality of our elected leaders.

“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (Psalm 34:1) Praising God by Larry Burkett To me, praising God is an integral part of the Christian walk, because it is acknowledging God’s ownership over my life. I believe that one fundamental principle established all through God’s Word […]
GIF Celebrities
“Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but [the one] who fears the Lord. . .shall be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30) Celebrities by Larry Burkett We have a tendency to make celebrities of people and treat them as if they were superior. I have a real problem with “celebrities.” Some people have even tried to make […]
GIF Pursuing God’s Purpose for Your Life
“Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.” (Psalm 40:5 NIV) Pursuing God’s Purpose for Your Life by Chuck Bentley In Acts 13:36, Paul noted […]
GIF What To Do With Anger
“If you are only angry, even in your own home, you are in danger of judgment.” Matthew 5:22 What To Do With Anger by Larry Burkett There are different kinds of anger. The apostle Paul tells us that anger will bring the wrath of God and we should “put. . . aside: anger, wrath, malice, […]
