Romans 8:28 reads as follows: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Every day is a test. Can I live as if that is true? These types of blessings are truly wonderful. To be honest, ever day […]
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Christianity has such humble beginnings. Christ, the God-man, died on the cross and rose to provide each of us with salvation. His […]
Continuing in Psalm 2 from last week. Verses 4-5 of Psalm 2 read as follows (KJV): He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. I’m thankful that conservatives showed class and restraint […]
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? Indeed, they rage. The reaction of the assassination of Charlie Kirk is appaling, and you can find evidence of this bad behavior on any social media platform. Many are celebrating the death of a man who simply wanted to talk things out. Some […]
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” All things are under God’s control, right down to the finest detail. The good man delights in this. It brings him peace, but also knows that troubled times are also under God’s control. We know that all things […]
1 Corinthians 16:13 reads: Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. I think this applies to you and I just as much as the early church in Corinth. It starts with an admonition to stand watch. We have enemies all around, and the devil comes to deceive. Whether we […]
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Introspection is a hard thing. Are there times I have not shown the fruits above? Perhaps I’ve done the opposite? Hate, anger, strife, quick temperedness, roughness, evil, lack of faith, boating, and exhibiting […]
James 2:14: What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Those who are truly faithful, will show their faith through good works. Yes, we are saved by faith alone, but a true faith will also result in such a love of God […]
Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. This wonderful passage indicates how gentile nations will be called to Christ. God’s plan has always been […]
I’ve had occasion to think about forgiveness lately. Luke 17:3 reads as follows: Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. We are commanded to forgive an unlimited number of times (Matthew 18:22), but what how is forgiveness supposed to take place and what are […]
