1 John 3:4-10 ESV
“Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him...
Jude 1:3-4 ESV
“Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this...

Psalms 24:3-6 ESV
“Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the Lord
and righteousness from...
Don’t let your emotions ruin your devotions.
Don’t let your thinking be a cause for sinking.
Don’t let the chatter cause your faith to shatter.
Don’t turn the tables and put your trust in fables.
Time now is fleeting. Who are you believing?
Truth is what matters. Listen not what flatters...
Today’s passage of Scripture is from the Old Testament. Moses had now died and the Lord chose Joshua to take his place and to lead the children of Israel into the Promised Land. So, these are God’s specific instructions to Joshua, but we can still learn from this passage, for it has lessons for...
Proverbs 27:5-6 ESV
“Better is open rebuke
than hidden love.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend;
profuse are the kisses of an enemy.”
In America we live in an era in our society as well as within much of today’s church (or what is falsely called “church”) where open rebuke, i.e...

I read a meme on social media that had me concerned that it might be giving out a subtle false message. It was quoting a passage of Scripture, but the translation was not identified, so I don’t know the source. But then I read the passage of Scripture in the ESV, so I am going to...
Proverbs 29:1,3 ESV
1He who is often reproved, yet stiffens his neck,
will suddenly be broken beyond healing.
3He who loves wisdom makes his father glad,
but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
There are people in this world, both those professing faith in Jesus Christ and...
Galatians 5:13-15 ESV
“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another...
Philippians 1:27-30 ESV

John 10:27-28 ESV
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.”
I am going to begin with these verses in order to establish who our Lord’s sheep are, and then I will go back to...
Romans 6:1-4 ESV
“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism...
Psalms 20:1-3 ESV
“May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
May the name of the God of Jacob protect you!
May he send you help from the sanctuary
and give you support from Zion!
May he remember all your offerings
and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah”
“The day of...

Isaiah 30:8-11 ESV
“And now, go, write it before them on a tablet
and inscribe it in a book,
that it may be for the time to come
as a witness forever.
For they are a rebellious people,
lying children,
children unwilling to hear
the instruction of the Lord;
who say to the seers...
Light the candles, smell them burning,
While the gospel, men are churning,
And the hearts of men not turning
From their sins. And God not learning.
Religious practice is their cover.
Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over.
Godless idols are their lover.
Righteousness is not their mover...
1 Peter 1:13 ESV
“Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is...
