    Do Not Overlook This

    2 Peter 3:8-10 ESV But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all...

    The Philippian Jailer versus Calvinism

    "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" This is what the Philippian jailer asked in Acts 16:30. "Saved" from what? (Obviously the guy wasn't a theologian, let alone a Calvinist. So the terms he's using may not be in line with Calvinism) I think the consensus would agree that he's asking about being...

    Love and Steadfastness

    2 Thessalonians 3:1-5, 13 Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the...

    Knock, Knock.....who's There?

    Revelation 3:20 does NOT speak to evangelism. The Lord Jesus Christ does not stand at the door of an unsaved person's heart, hat in hand, knocking, knocking, knocking, calling, calling, calling, hoping, hoping, hoping, only to be disappointed in many cases! Why? Because He knows that the person...

    The Arrow That Flies

    Psalm 91:1-2 ESV He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Another word for “dwell” is “abide” or “live,” and Jesus said if we abide (continue, remain, stay) in...

    Let The Light Of The Lord Shine Through You

    “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). Each day we who are true Christians make a choice between surrendering our own will to serve the kingdom of heaven or obliviously fulfill the desires of our flesh and those of spirit of this world. However...

    Good and Bad Examples

    Philippians 3:17-21 ESV Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their...

    God is Able!

    Ephesians 3:7-13 ESV Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to...

    Where in scripture does it say to repent of your sins to get saved?

    It really confuses me why a lot of people say "repent of your sins" in order to get saved. I can't find anywhere in scripture where it says this. We should repent of our sins after we get saved as a sanctification process and to grow in Christ. And of course we should confess our sins to him, do...

    Let's Get Serious!

    1 Thessalonians 5:1-3 ESV Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden...

    True Hearts

    Hebrews 10:19-20 ESV Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh… When Jesus Christ died on that cross for our sins, the veil that stood between us...

    A Secret Slanderer

    Psalm 56:1-7 ESV Be gracious to me, O God, for man tramples on me; all day long an attacker oppresses me; my enemies trample on me all day long, for many attack me proudly. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be...

    Fake News...good News!!

    Fake news: Ye shall be as gods knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:5). Good news: Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures. He was buried and was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

    The Big Lie

    Romans 12:1 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do you know that our salvation from sin is not a one-time experience which then guarantees us eternal life...

    Keep Watch!

    Acts 20:21-24 NIV: “I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me...

    What is obedience to the gospel?

    What is obedience to the gospel? 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 says, "When the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with...

    Who Hindered You?

    Galatians 5:1, 7-12 ESV For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion is not from him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have...

    It Never Changes

    Hebrews 6:1-3 ESV Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment...

    God is Watching

    Psalm 139:1-6 ESV O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it...
