Ray Overholt, a profanity-slinging heavy drinker singing professionally in nightclubs in the 1950s, was impressed in his spirit to write a song about Jesus. He picked up a Bible and looked for something to catch his eye. What caught his attention was the scene of Jesus' arrest in the garden at night, where He told Peter to put away his sword, and that He could have called 12 legions of angels to His aid if He wanted to. Ray began t...

Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, and He has all authority over all things. He's chosen to impart some of His authority to us. What does that mean? What responsibilities come with that authority? Join me today for a look at Scriptures about our role using God's authority.

Because Jesus is the Ultimate Authority, even the seasons change because He deemed it so. Demons are compelled to obey Him. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess -- from people to angels to demons to Satan himself -- that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Isaiah 40:11 tells us that the Lord is like a shepherd, gathering the lambs in His arms to hold them close. There are other Scriptures that talk about God holding us close, and the comfort and reassurance that provides is beyond measure.

God says He holds us in the palms of His hands -- that we're engraved there. He promises that nothing will snatch us from His hands, and even if we try to run from Him to the depths of the sea or to the pits of hell, His right hand is holding us, even there.

In 1956, Mosie Lister reflected on the habit instilled in him during his childhood -- the habit of prayer. And he started thinking about how many other people around him likely had had a similar experience, but perhaps no longer talked with God. He started writing down questions, and in 10 minutes, he'd written the lyrics to this hymn. How long HAS it been since you talked with the Lord?

In Proverbs 4:7, Solomon instructs his son to "Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight." Whatever you get -- get insight. What is insight? Why is it so important? In Proverbs 2, we're told to call out for insight, and to search for it like silver and hidden treasure. If we truly did that, what would change in our lives?

After the tragic loss of his young nephew, Don Moen wrote this simple song for his sister-in-law and her husband, from inspiration God gave him on the plane ride to the funeral. From Isaiah 43:19, he drew "God will make a way, where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see -- He will make a way for me."

When the king of Syria wanted to capture the prophet Elisha, he sent an army to surround the city Elisha was in.

Elisha assured him that "those are who with us are more than those who are with them," and he prayed that God would open the eyes of his servant. The Lord answered Elisha's prayer and Elisha's servant saw t...
