Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Reverent Awe
But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn that shines brighter and brighter until the full day. The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know over what they stumble. Proverbs 4:18 NASB Just as a sunrise begins with the faint glow of dawn and...
What Is The Question?
So Jesus and the Disciples sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet Him. For a long time the man had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs...
Gratitude
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV When we make it a practice to thank God for His blessings of provision and protection in our life, we never lose sight of Him as our hope in all things.
On Prayer
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 NASB 2020 Prayer is the way to die to our own wishes and surrender everything to God. Pray regularly; daily, three times a day, hourly, moment by moment. Paraphrase / Scot McKnight
Heads Up
Behold, as the eyes of a servant look to the hands of his master, O God enthroned in heaven, I lift my eyes to You. Psalm 123:1-2, Adapted Pray with your eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Obedience Brings The Breakthrough
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful...
God’s Will For Your Life
God's overarching will for your life is not about geography. Or where you should work. Or even who you should marry. God’s will for your life is that you be rescued from eternal damnation (saved from sin), restored to fellowship with Him, and conformed to the image of...
Listen To Me
If one gives an answer before he hears, it is his folly and shame. Proverbs 18:13 ESV When you talk you repeat what you already know, but if you listen you often learn something new. Put another way, you never learn anything with your mouth open. h/t Dalai Lama...
Trust Me
Jesus, Sermon On The Mount: Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Matthew 6:34 NKJV Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday. God got you through it. Trust Him for...
Happy Are Those Whose Help Is In The Lord
Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God, who made Heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. Who keeps truth forever, who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The Lord gives freedom to the...
Your Relationship With Christ
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Matthew 16:15 NKJV To the question "what is the nature of your relationship with Jesus the Christ," you should be able to answer "He is my Savior and Lord. I expect to live with Him in the Kingdom forever."
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...
