There was a little more discussion for those there to have a name for the small cluster of homes they would have, four still needing needing to be made while the ones built would need more added to them for needed room, while all were going to be crowded into them for the night, instead of...
Church, the Lord has given us a Spirit of certainty. We must avoid the fad of “hyper ragamuffinism”, this tendency that stresses lamentation above rejoicing (unsatisfied even in rejoicing with those who rejoice and weeping with those who weep), the overuse of self-examination and critique more...
2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 ESV “Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the...
“O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me; many are saying of my soul, ‘There is no salvation for him in God.’ Selah “But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord, and he answered me from his holy hill...
Crying Out to God Psalm 51 is a powerful prayer of repentance for this stage of the Path. In this prayer, we beg the Lord to have mercy upon us and to cleanse us from all our sins. We cry out to God to create a clean heart in us, making it whiter than snow. The Love Crucified Community. The...
Psalms 119:105-107 ESV “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to keep your righteous rules. I am severely afflicted; give me life, O Lord, according to your word!” We all have those times when our strength is gone, when we are...
Revelation 18:1-8 ESV “After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. And he called out with a mighty voice, “’Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every...
Matthew 19:23-26 NIV “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ “When the...
Remember Your Leaders “Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart...
“Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no ‘root of bitterness’ springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau...
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12 NIV Hope – we can hope for things which may not happen. For example, we can hope for the salvation of loved ones, that they will turn from their sins and that they will follow Jesus in obedience to his commands. But...
Examples of Faith in Action “By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” (Hebrews 11:7 ESV) “By faith...
Deep Roots Sins are like weeds: we may cut the leaves, but as long as the roots remain, more leaves will soon come up. We must dig deep and pull out the entire root system—the hidden part that thrives beneath the surface. Many times, in confession, we give the Lord only the visible sins (the...
This was originally written and recorded in December of 2021. That was the year that we had a mice infestation and I was deathly ill for several months and I ended up with neuropathy in my right leg, and I have needed to use a walker out in public ever since then. So, I was sitting on the seat...
“Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full...
“In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required. Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come; in the scroll of the book it is written of me: I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within...
