Matthew 24:12
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
This aspect of love that has been growing colder as one of Christ’s prophesies in His Sermon on the Mount listed in the 24th Chapter of Matthew, and I will explain.
We can get something like Cancer that...
As we see things getting more problematic in the world around us we have to stop to ask ourselves these questions-----
“where is my prayer life?’
“What relationship do I have with the Lord and how much do I spend in His Word?”
“How solid is my Faith?”
“Where is my heart right now?”...
I feel very Blessed as I have been retired for 3 years now, where I am no longer in a Job situation----where the stress is more prevalent right now. But being somewhat active on this Christian Forum and others, I see the real stress and worry in people’s words as just this morning, a poster on...
I actually learned this Psalm at age 6, and that learning this Psalm represented a tiny seed that was planted in me, even though I was in a false Religion for 40 years from birth. I am just shy of 69 years of age right now.
This Psalm I immediately remembered when my only son died and his...
8 “Or what woman, having ten silver [c]coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!’...
Luke 11:4
Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’
How many of us take this part of the Lord’s Prayer for granted? That when we pray this, we often are led into temptations afterwards. I know I am guilty of that at times. That I...
In the 4th Chapter of John, we find [an obviously] very broken woman who turned out to be the first Evangelical, who led many people to Christ as the story goes on.
You know this story as the “Woman at the Well” and I believe Christ designed the interaction with her as it shows us hope as to...
“There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
—Isaiah 48:22
One aspect of coming to true faith in Christ is realizing that we before we accepted Christ---we were the “wicked” in this verse. We have to live the Gospel of Christ each day and realize God performed a miracle on...
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You
I believe, as the verse says, that a Trust in God and Peace goes hand-in hand. That as we lift up God in our prayers each morning, Peace can then be an anchor or sorts to keep us...
Psalm 146:6-7 (NKJV)
6 Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
7 Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.
One notion that has been set in me for many years is highlighted...
Ephesians 6:4
4 And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
I had a very vivid Lesson one day about 6 years ago when teenaged son broke a window in our house. I had adopted this son when he was 4 years old when I...
Luke 21:33
Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away
We often take our Bibles for granted for it is through that means, that God wishes to bring us back to Him, through Christ Jesus, in these NT times. He has allowed an abundance of translations in different...
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
We live in times where truth is very relative. Secular Time magazine last year, on its cover put in the heading “Is Truth Dead?” And of course inside was the...
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
I have put a little more though into this verse and how it can apply to the potential problems we are faced with. There is a lot of conspiracy theories out...
Philippians 4:7
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus
I had an experience 4 years ago which made this verse a little clearer as to how He will guard our hearts and especially our minds This verse is another support...
“It looks like you have cancer and likely pancreatitis from the blood work we took”
This is what the Nurse from the Clinic told me on the phone after I had left that Clinic that day.
This incident happened about 4 years ago when I originally had what looked like a stomach flu. I...
Matthew 14:30
But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!
I can relate to Peter here, as 25 years ago I uttered very similar words just after my only son took his life with a handgun and I found him shortly after I...
In my state there is somewhat loose guidelines for social distancing with no penalties if you are closer that 6 feet from another person. And face masks are really only a suggestion, rather than an enforced mandate. I live out west in a somewhat rural state.
Talked to a lady in New York...
Matthew 24:12
And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
I suppose I am working backwards in the Bible from yesterday where I posted Matthew 24:13. But I think as I do that, we can look at is as causes for a condition that comes later,
I have lived for close to...
Matthew 24:13
But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
I once thought this was an “if” phrase from Christ. That IF those who do endure to the End, they will, then be saved. Like a Reward of sorts or maybe an incentive.
But upon studying the Greek usage of that phrase I found it can...
