Salvation by means of the creation of the Kingdom and resurrection does not mean we as individuals are saved. It means the ability to be 'saved into' now exists. The Adversary and even Legion believed in Jesus, but they are by no means saved. There is no place for adversaries to the will of God...
Psalms 92:1-4 NASB
“It is good to give thanks to the Lord
And to sing praises to Your name, Most High;
To declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your faithfulness by night,
With the ten-stringed lute and with the harp,
With resounding music on the lyre.
For You, Lord, have made me joyful by...

Philippians 4:4; Psalms 103:19
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore;
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Jesus, the...
“Blessed be the Lord, my rock,
who trains my hands for war,
and my fingers for battle;
he is my steadfast love and my fortress,
my stronghold and my deliverer,
my shield and he in whom I take refuge,
who subdues peoples under me.” (Psalms 144:1-2 ESV)
I used to believe that...
2 Peter 3:1 (NKJV)
Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder).
One might well think after reading the above, "Hey, I thought we got our act together when we came to Christ!" In a real sense, true. However, the act of...
Romans 12:9-10 NIV
“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
If we love God with this kind of love, we prefer what God prefers. And he prefers what is holy, righteous, godly, morally pure, honest...
When the hearts of believers are pure before the Lord, there is no incongruence between some being glad and others among them, sad.
The Apostle Paul showed the Church the best way to live in such an environment of varying demeanors:
Romans 12:15 (NKJV)
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn...
Philippians 2:14-16
“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of...
By Anna L. Goghill and Lowell Mason, 1854,1864
Scripture: Mark 13:34; John 9:4
Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming...
“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing...
I like to write with certain music pieces sounding in the background.
Yesterday, I wrote this while listening to some of Beethoven's music.
For each set of four lines, I provide the range of the recording time.
If one listens to the music and slowly reads the words (in some cases, a syllable...
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.”
As followers of Jesus Christ we are to be led of the Spirit of God. Now, in order to be led of the Spirit of God we...
U.S. Shrugs as World War III Approaches - WSJ
"A devastating report on global threats and American weakness is met with indifference."
Nobody cares as World War III approaches.
"The U.S. faces the “most serious and most challenging” threats since 1945, including the real risk of “near-term...
It's kinda funny that most people aren't those trying to find their way back from being lost, but are those who have no idea they are off track in the first place. Jesus came to remind all those who are off track that they have it backwards and follow the self absorbed will of man, not God...
By that next evening, the basic form of the next two homes were up. The people who were starting their little community of Elepacifa would now gladly divide for places to sleep as they had within the small little temporary shelters of mud, branches, leaves and grass they had used, with...
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18 NIV)
When I read this one verse, I wanted to know the context, so I read through all of 2 Peter 3 to get the context. And the context has to do with the return of...
A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray. (Isaiah 35:8) NKJV
How secure should we consider ourselves to be in our daily walk...
“Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you...
