Fitting In
For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted—you may well put up with it! 2 Corinthians 11:4 If it appears we are more frequently hearing various versions of the Gospel, it’s because…

God Is Our Hope
“I will lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth” Psalms 121:1-2 Every day, we experience a range of emotions, many of them before lunch. Laughter can easily turn to mourning, mourning to joy, worry to optimism, and excitement…

Let Us Pray
Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as…

“The everlasting God, the Lord,The Creator of the ends of the earth,Neither faints nor is weary.His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak,And to those who have no might He increases strength”. Isaiah 40:28b-29 There may be times when we or individuals we are talking to will roll our eyes when scripture like the one above is…

God’s Daily Gift to Humanity
Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into…

Eyes To See
As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. John 9:1-3 Individuals who are blind tend to develop heightened senses of…

Two Evils
Then the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: Execute true justice, ‘show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor.Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.’ “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their…

Do The Right Thing
“Every way of a man is right in his own eyes,But the Lord weighs the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2 Have you ever sought advice from others, and they tell you to just do what’s in your heart; without knowing what is truly in your heart? Even when we know someone intimately, we still can never know the true depth of…

ENTANGLED
But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition, knowing that such a person is warped and sinning, being self-condemned. Titus 3:9-11 Is the Church/Body of Christ to entangled in worldly issues? Are we too often overly focused on national and…

Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com “For I say to you that unless your righteousness far surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven” Matthew 5:20 Congregational leaders and Christian influencers of our time have done well to convince the masses that a vote for one party or the other makes…

“A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment” (Proverbs 18:1). I am reminded of the story of Rehoboam, Solomon’s son. Rehoboam was ordained king over Israel following Solomon’s death but he ignored the wise counsel of the elders who served King Solomon and instead chose to heed the foolish advice of his friends who

“A perverse man sows strife, and a whisperer separates the best of friends” (Proverbs 16:28). Gossip, there is no shortage if it these days. Television, social media, and other forms of technology has rapidly increased the volume and velocity of gossip. Even the whisperer speaks loud and bold in the face of a desensitized generation.

Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight. (Proverbs 12:22) Have you read the proverbs lately? If not, you should try reading one chapter per day for the next few months. I once read a chapter a day for one whole year and it still feels fresh

The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous will be delivered (Proverbs 11:9). Hypocrisy is as old as sin but the world is increasingly turning a blind eye to hypocrisy, just as they have turned a blind eye to sin. It is not just the world though; the church, which is

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. Then being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth (Revelation 12:1-2, NKJV). On September 23, 2017, one day from today, a

I am exceedingly angry with the [Gentile] nations at ease; For I was a little angry, And they helped—but with evil intent.” (Zechariah 1:15) How quick we are to castigate another country or people; to call them immoral and evil.

Revelation 2:1 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: “To the angel of the church of [ ], write……”. Why did He use the word “angel”? This has caused many

After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory.
