Psalms 1:1-2 ESV
“Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law he meditates day and night.”
If we are blessed of the Lord, what does that...
Philippians 1:9-11 ESV
“And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the...
Walking with Jesus day by day,
Reading His word, to Him do pray,
Asking of Him what I should say,
Encouraging others in His name.
Helping a brother who’s in need,
Serving a sister, grace to feed,
Sharing the gospel, plant to seed,
Following Jesus, let Him lead.
Caring for others, with them...
John 3:19-21 ESV
“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever...
1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.”
So what is meant here by “the natural person”? It appears to have to do with the human nature...
Psalms 2:1-2 ESV
“Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
‘Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.’”
The...
Matthew 6:33 ESV
“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
If you start reading this passage, beginning with verse 25, you will learn that Jesus is talking here about us not being anxious and worried and fearful about our lives, and...
Proverbs 3:5-8 ESV
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your flesh...
Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV
“For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies...
I am being impressed of the Lord Jesus today to write a word of personal testimony. So, for some of you, this will be repetitious, while for others of you this may be new to you. I believe there is someone who will read this today who will need to hear this word of encouragement, and that is why...
1 John 2:1-6 ESV
“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by...
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
As followers of Jesus Christ we live under the New Covenant relationship...
2 Timothy 3:1-5,12-15 ESV
“But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control...
The writer of Hebrews, which some people believe to be Paul, was writing here explaining the difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant. And then he encouraged the believers in Jesus Christ, because of what Jesus Christ did for us on that cross, to draw near to God with true hearts...
Romans 15:15-20 ESV
“But on some points I have written to you very boldly by way of reminder, because of the grace given me by God to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by...
Romans 15:1-7 ESV
“We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, ‘The reproaches of those who reproached you fell...
John 10:22-30 ESV
“At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’...
John 10:7-15 ESV
“So Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The...
So, I began this morning reading and writing about John 9:1-41. But it was such a long passage of Scripture that it ended up being divided into four sections, and this last section is “the best part,” I believe. But let me first give a synopsis of what has taken place so far.
Jesus healed a...
Jesus Christ had healed a man blind from birth. The Pharisees then began to question the man with regard to what Jesus did and to how the man was healed, and so the man answered their questions. But the Pharisees charged that Jesus was not from God because he healed the man on the Jewish...
