Thou loving Father, so kind and good, who through thy blessed Son calls out, “Brethren!”, why darest Thou in thy sovereign grace to work through wills yet perfected, through empowerment entrusted?
Who calls to prayer, but Man of this Hour, seated on high, true Mediator?
When did we e’er deserve...
This is why theologians, pulpit folks, Bible scholars and translators virtually rarely understand the Scriptures. This is why the organized Church is “teaching for doctrines the Commandments of men.” That is why Jesus said, “They draw near me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me"...
“Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your...
Matthew 15:1-20 ESV
Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? For God...
“With my whole heart I cry; answer me, O Lord!
I will keep your statutes.
I call to you; save me,
that I may observe your testimonies.
I rise before dawn and cry for help;
I hope in your words.
My eyes are awake before the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your...
“I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people...
Not a Doormat
“Jesus commands us to take our Cross and follow Him, but that does not mean we should condone
abusive behavior. Allowing others to use us as “doormats” or failing to stand up for ourselves
is to live in bondage, not humility. Jesus came to set us free from disorders, fears...
Hillariah and Jecharon were impressed that the Big Hairy came that near to Alverten. Hillariah said, "But he still left you alone, as we were sure the Big Hairy would do in regard to any of us. We just must continue to leave animals around here alone."
Jecharon said, "The Big Hairy must have...
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and...
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the...
Dealing with Our Inner Voices
To live in humility is to live always in total confidence of God’s love, protection, and guidance
and, therefore, to have no concern for yourself when others insult you—or praise you.
Secure in God’s love, you don’t have to base your identity on whether or not...
“Then the Lord appeared to Solomon in the night and said to him: ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my...
Life is about death... a curse we brought upon ourselves and all must pay the price for our adversarial ways. It is unfortunate that in our times of loss few understand what we have made as a result of our self oriented ways. It is a shame people will question God rather than ourselves, the true...
Passive aggression exists in both the pulpit and pew. It is an adversarial trait of mankind. Christianity is not to blame but rather the fault lies with those running the show, something which occurred almost right from the beginning when people realized they could use God for their purposes...
A Christian's only prerequisites are to put the will of God ahead of the will of man and to love all as self. So anyone wishing to run for office may do so based on those merits, but it is unlikely they will achieve anything in this world man has made in our own selfish image. Letting political...
1 Peter 2:13-16 NASB
“Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right. For such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence...
