It Takes Time
by Delman Coates on May 9th, 2023
“But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.” - Romans 8:25 If you are going to make a real life change, the type that actually lasts, you must understand something: change takes time.

His Time
by Delman Coates on January 25th, 2023
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” - 2 Peter 3:8 We have discussed two reasons why we worry: that God’s will is not our will and that God’s ways are not our ways. However, a third reason we worry is because we believe that God’s timing is not our timing. We live in a microwave generation. We want fo... Read More

Shift To Your Back Foot
by Ministry Support on December 22nd, 2021
“Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly.” - Proverbs 14:29 When it comes to trusting God, we must learn to be patient. This is often why God will not give us what we want when we want it. God’s primary concern is growing and molding us to be more like Jesus. This doesn’t mean that God does not want to give us the desires of our heart, because He d... Read More

Can You Wait?
by Ministry Support on November 7th, 2021
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” - Hebrews 10:23 Have you ever noticed that most of the things that you badly want will require some time and patience to reap the rewards—a degree, an executive positive, a spouse, a child. Waiting is something that life requires. You must wait in line at stores, wait at the doctor’s office, and wait for your car ... Read More

God’s Promises Are Sure
by Ministry Support on September 25th, 2021
“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding ‘Yes!’ And through Christ, our ‘Amen’ ascends to God for his glory.” - 2 Corinthians 1:20The Bible says that God is not a man that should lie. If He spoke it, He will bring it to pass. One reason so many people give up on God in the waiting process is because they do not live as if God is certainly going to do what He said ... Read More
