Following the broad sweep of history and answering the questions: What is true? What is important? What, now, shall we do?
Words Of The Way, Prayer
But we devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word. Acts 6:4 ESV Scripture makes it clear that there’s no right way to pray. When you talk, God listens. It’s not the words that matter to God so much as what's in our heart. Know also that prayer is a...
Words Of The Way, Grace
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. Romans 3:23-24 NLT Grace is the unmerited, unearned love...

Words Of The Way, Obedience
We must obey God rather than people. Acts 5:29b. CSB There is time only for obedience. Obedience means never settling in your walk with God. Never letting Him show you a truth that you don’t immediately begin to live up to. Three attributes of never settling: Face the...
Words Of The Way, Love
God is love. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19). God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners, so that our relationship with a just and loving God could be restored (Romans 5:8). Here, then, is His desire...
Words Of The Way, Abide
Abide may be our favorite Word Of The Way. The joy of bearing fruit for the Kingdom: Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches....
Words Of The Way, Sacrifice
The word sacrifice is not rightly used in relation to anything we can do for The Lord. PS: We are in a study of Words Of The Way. See here.
Words Of The Way, Earnestly

It is right and proper to keep traditions that remind us of the faithfulness and goodness of God. Chanukah (Note 1) is one of those traditions. Chanukah commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple of Jerusalem in 165 BC. Today begins the eight day Chanukah...
People Of The Way
We begin a study of the beauty and power of the words of The Way. Our study starts with 'People Of The Way' or just 'The Way.' Before believers were called Christians, they were called People of The Way (Note 1). People Of The Way were not Roman Catholics, or...
A Foolish Message
The story and message of the cross is sheer absurdity and folly to those who are perishing and on their way to perdition, but to us who are being saved it is the manifestation of the power of God. For God says, “I will destroy all human plans of salvation no matter...
