Romans 2:12-13,17-24 ESV
“For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.”
“But if you...
Searching, searching everywhere
High and low, without a care
Wandering hither, to and fro
Looking for what? What to know?
Time is wasting, that do tell
Heads are swimming, pride doth swell
Nothing finished, not complete
Flesh is winning, not defeat
What’s the purpose? Do you know?
What, for...
The Apostle Paul was writing to those in Rome “who are loved by God and called to be saints.” He had just written warnings to his readers concerning the wrath of God being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth...
For some time now, and from different sources, I have been hearing the saying, “God will meet you where you are.” But is that biblical? I don’t believe it is. Now, did Jesus come to the earth to us? Yes, he did. But did he meet us where we are, or did he require that we meet him where he is...
Romans 1:14-17 ESV
“I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish. So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew...

Proverbs 22:3,14,17-19 ESV
3 The prudent sees danger and hides himself,
but the simple go on and suffer for it.
14 The mouth of forbidden women is a deep pit;
he with whom the Lord is angry will fall into it.
17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart...
Isaiah 55:6-9 ESV
“Seek the Lord while he may be found;
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my...
So you say you go to church
Fellowship you do not search
Walking with Christ not your thing
Offerings to Christ not bring
Live your life the way you want
Though religion you do flaunt
Follow idols, that’s your gig
True commitments, not so big
Selfishness it rules your life
Sinful practices...
Matthew 5:27-30 ESV
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is...

Psalms 56:1-7 NIV
“Be merciful to me, my God,
for my enemies are in hot pursuit;
all day long they press their attack.
My adversaries pursue me all day long;
in their pride many are attacking me.
“When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.
In God, whose word I praise—
in God I...
Mark 8:34-38 NIV
“Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save...
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...
Romans 12:12 ESV
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”
Hope
Now I am not going to look up a bunch of words today, so I am going to just share my understanding here on this word “hope,” for this is me having my quiet time with the Lord and letting him speak to my...
Philippians 1:12-14 ESV
