“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone...
Stop Running Away
Before reaching the wounds, we must discover our disorders. Acquiring knowledge of our wounds is a process. As we dig within ourselves, before reaching the wounds, we discover layers of disordered tendencies that are affecting our behavior. A disorder is any behavior that is...
When God parted the Red Sea, it was a miracle. It was also a message—a picture of His power to save and the path we must take in response.
In Exodus 14, God delivers His people, the Israelites, from slavery in Egypt. He opens a path through the sea, showing His sovereign power. No one else...
A Study of Romans 11 Pt 3 (Final)
Romans 11:25-36 ESV
“Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is...
A Study of Romans 11 Pt 2
Romans 11:7-16 ESV
“What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written,
’God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.’...
A Study of Romans 11 Pt 1
Romans 11:1-6 ESV
“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how...
A post a person made on social media caught my attention:
Yep.
I've been heartsick this week for many reasons. One story stands out:

“Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things. But do you suppose this, O man, when...
John 2:1-11 describes Jesus' first miracle, "The Wedding at Cana".
Below, a musing about verses 3-5 (NKJV, bold is mine)
3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not...
Jesus only asked four main things of us. To put God's will ahead of our own. To love all, including enemies, as self (just be kind and courteous). To repent of the backwards self-serving ways of man. To spread the good news, that being His Gospel of the Kingdom. God will take care of His...
The Great Depression of 2025?
I was fortunate to be able to read the late Dr. Ravi Batra's book the Great Depression of 1990. This book climbed to number one on the NT Times bestseller list in 1987. Batra himself was a full professor by the age of 30 at SMU, and authored many books. He...
“As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, permit me...
Deseradar started after the first calls on Yahweh which they joined in. "O show us your provision for us Yahweh. We know from what our forefathers passed on to us that at that one time with all humanity wickedly turned against you with the sons of God joined with the daughters of men, you let...
“Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the...
’ — . And perhaps that’s why so few are on the narrow path, while so many follow the wide one. Too often, we rely on head knowledge rather than a humble heart that is open to God’s simple truths.
Understanding grows when we keep it simple.
Many of those who followed Jesus were not...
“For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just penalty, how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?”...
