If God Be For Us
Rom 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing […]

He Knew Me
This writing may be a bit truthful for the average Christian. I want to warn you upfront just in case you decide to keep an anti-God opinion. Both Pew Research and Guttmacher Institute provide the consequences of abortion in the United States. Since 1973, the legal practices of abortion have killed 63,495,781 babies. Most of […]

That Nothing Be Lost
In a single line, Jesus revealed His nature toward us. It happened at the end of the feeding of the 5,000. After a long day of teaching, the disciples came to Jesus with the need for food. They would have sent the multitude home, but the Lord intervened. Andrew found a little boy’s lunch. John […]

Young adults […]

Words
From the inception of human history, God has put boundaries around mankind and limitations before them. The garden of Eden was enclosed from the harsh elements beyond its border. The only restriction for Adam and Eve was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Both the boundary and the tree offered the image […]

Wavering
James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. “Wavereth” is not a common English word. I have not heard it used in any conversation, whether casual or formal. Some Bible translators consider it synonymous with doubt, […]

Authorship
Paul’s teaching to the Corinthian church uncovered a concern about the order of the saints. Spiritual activities were encouraged, but were in need of guidelines in operation. Paul wrote: 1 Cor 14:31-33 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets […]

The Field
The scripture seems to come alive as it describes the travels of Jesus. He walked from city to city and village to village teaching in their synagogues. Matthew writes that Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and then followed it up by “healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Mt. 9:35. However, […]
