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, […]

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.

Carry The Burden
Who shall carry the burden of the Lord? Moses led Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground. God parted the waters via the rod in Moses’ hand. It was the pinnacle miracle in the history of Israel; even to this day. The second crossing did not garnish as much fame. Joshua led the people […]

Set Your Face
Luke 9:51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem. It was the final turn in the limited earthly life of Jesus of Nazareth. The time had come to be sacrificed. Calvary lay ahead and He was the […]
