“Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. What then? Only...

Revelation 3:15-17 ESV

Psalms 40:11-12 ESV
“As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will

they are more than the hairs of my...
1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV

Psalms 49:5-6,13-15 ESV
“Why should I fear in times of trouble,
when the iniquity of those who cheat me surrounds me,
those who trust in their wealth
and boast of the abundance of their riches?
“This is the path of those who have foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of...
I cannot stress this enough! We live in a time in our history unlike any other, I believe, where disinformation, misimpressions, fakery, lies, manipulations of truth, trickery, and the "photoshopping," altering, and otherwise total twisting of words spoken, and of actual events, and videos, and...
Romans 11:25-36 ESV
“Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a partial hardening has come upon Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written,
‘The Deliverer will come...
Romans 11:7-16 ESV
“What then? Israel failed to obtain what it was seeking. The elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened, as it is written,
’God gave them a spirit of stupor,
eyes that would not see
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...
I am reading in Matthew 23, and it is a very long passage, so I will only quote parts of it, and I will summarize some of it, too. But Matthew 23 is primarily dedicated to Jesus’ words describing the character and the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the scribes of his day. But there are many who...

“Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
The Lord is leading me this afternoon to look at the subject of the greatness of God, but specifically in the area of his...
1 John 2:18-25 ESV
“Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But...
Psalms 27:11-14 ESV
“Teach me your way, O Lord,
and lead me on a level path
because of my enemies.
Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;
for false witnesses have risen against me,
and they breathe out violence.
“I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord...
I am reading in Jeremiah 11, and the Lord is leading me to make practical application of what was taught then, but to apply it to the church in America today, which is where I live, but applied anywhere that it fits, in reality.
The Lord called Jeremiah to speak to the people of Jerusalem...
Isaiah 65:1 ESV
“I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.
I said, ‘Here I am, here I am,’
to a nation that was not called by my name.”
Much of the book of Isaiah prophesies of the Messianic age, and this is one of...
Isaiah 55:1-3 ESV
“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
