When one passage of the Scriptures resounds with
a similar inspiration as another passage, these
are the "deep calls unto deep" (Psalms 42:7) moments
that stir my heart with confidence that the Lord reigns.
His truths are so beautiful and weave indestructible
pictures of God's character and...
“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols?” (2...
“Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward...
“But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of...
In a world filled with confusion, misinformation, and the pursuit of relative truth, the words of Jesus in John 8:32 ring out like a beacon of hope: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” This verse is a profound statement that not only reveals the power of truth but...
“How can a young man keep his way pure?
By guarding it according to your word.
With my whole heart I seek you;
let me not wander from your commandments!
I have stored up your word in my heart,
that I might not sin against you.
Blessed are you, O Lord;
teach me your statutes!
With...
A Letter from Christ
“Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ...
“For our boast is this, the testimony of our conscience, that we behaved in the world with simplicity and godly sincerity, not by earthly wisdom but by the grace of God, and supremely so toward you. For we are not writing to you anything other than what you read and understand and I hope you...
Aging, community, and grace
Living in an aging community is something that takes getting used to. Perhaps something I will never be able to feel comfortable with. I keep thinking I am younger, but there is truth to that. I believe that we are all young when we are by ourselves. I believe it was...
The next day after the early chores Hillariah was meeting with Jecharon her husband and Deseradar her brother, and Fisepel his wife. Hillariah went over all that vision that had come to her. At length, Jecharon said, "If this is so, and not just meaning something more hidden, there are things...
“Look on my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
give me life according to your promise!
Salvation is far from the wicked,
for they do not seek your statutes.
Great is your mercy, O Lord;
give me life according to your rules.
Many...
When life throws its curve balls at us, which it will, our natural reaction may be to immediately feel fear. Satan will use these occasions to try to get us to doubt God or to feel as though we are without resource. He will try to get us to feel as though our circumstances have control over our...
“But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so...
Long Hard Journey
Prayer keeps us open to the Spirit. The Spirit seeks to heal and lead us to life; we all have an infinite capacity to grow, to learn to love to have a relationship with the Infinite, the lover of our souls. Either life is an open-ended affair, or it is a dead end, when we...
"Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and...
