This is a short passage of Scripture and yet it is filled with biblical truth. And the best way to understand what this is teaching is if we look at what these individual words mean:
Words Defined
Fear – anxiety, terror, dread, fright, be afraid of; an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief...

In the little village of Bethlehem,
There lay a Child one day,
And the sky was bright with a holy light
O'er the place where Jesus lay.
'Twas a humble birth-place, but O how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has...
This is a continuation of the lesson from Acts 26:12-20 in the devotion titled, “Turning from Darkness to Light.” Paul was under arrest and was serving time in prison for his testimony for Jesus Christ and for his testimony of his salvation from sin, i.e. for the sake of the gospel message. And...
Here is the next chapter for those that are interested in what happens next, but if you haven't read "Under the Influence", stop now and read that blog entry first. Here is the link: Under the Influence
I cut this following chapter short here as i need to work on it.
The Revolutionary...
Another chapter. I had a good chuckle reading this chapter again, but no joke, this was a grievous time in my life where i was looking to connect with others intent on following Jesus. Unfortunately, i kept coming across stuff like this, although i use symbolism.
And not that I'm perfect...
The apostle Paul, before he became Paul, was Saul who was a persecutor and a murderer of Christians. He was a Pharisee of Pharisees according to the strictest party of his religion. But now he was a believer in Christ, and an apostle of Christ in bringing the truth of the gospel to both Jew and...
“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
“’The Spirit of the Lord...
Hillariah told Jecharon that morning when they were up, "I had a vision, though Yahweh did not speak of anything to me. It seems to mean that there are some number of the creatures just like the Big Hairy that keep a community for them further on that way to the north, beyond where we would...
“When you come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominable practices of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who burns his son or his daughter as an offering, anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets...
Isaiah 40:6-8 ESV
“A voice says, ‘Cry!’
And I said, ‘What shall I cry?’
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower...
We were told to act in servitude to God and each other, not live our lives looking out for number one and what can be gained at the expense of others. That applies not only in home life but all the way up to global rule. One need only turn on their tv or smart phone to see the world does not...
Consider Ephesians 2:1. When the described in this verse happens, the inner or spirit man becomes alive in Christ. The curse of the Law is broken, freeing and empowering us to obey Christ.
Yet, It is being actively taught by some, “Obey your spirit man.”
Rather, we must obey Christ the...
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the...
Jesus Christ had just had the “Last Supper” with his disciples. Satan had entered the heart of Judas Iscariot, and Judas was set to betray Jesus Christ to the death. Then Jesus set out to wash his disciples feet, teaching them to be servants of the Lord and to share his gospel message with...
We are born with both good and evil, two necessary components as all is made up of opposing forces. We went out of balance when we acquired the knowledge of said good and evil, at which time we also chose to self determine what actions we would label with each in order to self justify our deeds...
What Jesus started was a movement, not a religion, and movements kind of lead themselves once they get going. Human institutions such as religions require leaders but this movement was not human, but the good news of the Kingdom of God which was itself a counter-culture to the ways of humans...
The Law,
To Serve and Protect
(Another chapter)
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are...
Jesus Christ speaking: “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to show by what kind of death he was going to die. So the crowd answered him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be...
