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...

“In sacrifice and offering you have not delighted,
but you have given me an open ear.

I delight to do your will, O my God;
your law is within...

“I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the...
It was right before the Feast of the Passover, and Jesus knew that his hour had come for him to depart from this world. Then during supper the devil put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray Jesus. Then Jesus rose from supper, he laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, he...
Romans 13:8-10 ESV
“Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,’ and any other commandment, are summed up in this word...

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” (John 8:12 ESV)
Faith in Jesus Christ, that is God-persuaded and God-gifted, results in us being crucified with Christ in death to...
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. Contribute to...
Romans 11:25-36 ESV

and ears that would not hear,
down to this very day.’
And David says,
’Let their...
Romans 11:1-6 ESV
“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against...
“Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those...
