Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
God Is Good
The Lord is gracious and compassionate; slow to anger and great in mercy (hesed). The Lord is good to all, and His mercies are over all His works. Psalm 145:8-9 NASB
But Deliver Us From Evil
May the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely. Psalm 141:10 NASB
Christ’s Invitation to Communion
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in and we will share a meal together as friends. Revelation 3:20, Adapted
The Panorama Of God
The Lord looks down from heaven on the entire human race. He looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone is seeking God. Nothing in all creation is hidden from Him. Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the one to whom we are accountable....
The Lord Is My Shepherd
Yahweh is my shepherd, He cares for me always. He provides me rest in rich, green fields beside streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again, steering me off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name. Even in...
The Fruit Of The Spirit
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there. And when you believe in Christ, He identifies you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago. The Spirit is...
The Lord Is My Shepherd
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of...
The Holy Spirit In Discernment
But we know about these things because God has sent His Spirit to tell us, and His Spirit searches out and shows us all of God’s deepest secrets. No one can really know what anyone else is thinking or what he is really like except that person himself. And no one can...
The Great Exchange
For God made Christ, who knew no sin, to be the offering for our sin, so that in Him we might embody the very righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21, Adapted
Futility of Labor Without God And Rest
Unless the Lord builds the house, the work of the builders is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is senseless to work hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death, for God also wants...
Foolishness
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; and I will confound the understanding of those who have understanding." Has God not...
The Advice Of A Fool
You’ll get more from the rebuke of a sage than from the song and dance of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:5 MSG A fool is someone who gives advice unencumbered by the thought process. h/t Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers
A New Creation
The Apostle Paul knew a thing or two about new creations. Even though he had been a leading persecutor of Christians, Paul was made new by an encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. God had a different plan for Saul, made new as Paul. Here, in his second epistle...
A Prayer Of Intercession
"O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know You, but I do; and these disciples know You sent Me. I have revealed You to them, and I will continue to do so. Then Your love for Me will be in them, and I will be in them.” John 17:25-26 NLT It's very near to the time of...
Revealed Truth
“Truly, truly, I say to you, those who hear My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but have already passed from death into life." John 5:24, Adapted
Above My Pay Grade
Lord, my heart is not proud, nor my eyes arrogant. Nor do I involve myself in great matters, or in things too difficult for me. I have certainly soothed and quieted my soul. My soul within me is like a weaned child resting against his mother. I wait for the Lord, from...
If God Is In Charge, Guess Who Is Not?
Come now you who say, "today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.” Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and then...
A Ready Help
God is our refuge and strength, a very ready help in times of trouble. Even though the earth shakes and the mountains slip into the heart of the sea, we will not fear. Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride we will not fear....
