    Do Not Refuse Him

    “See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the...

    Faulty Thinking

    Faulty thinking has you blinking, On the verge of wrong decision. Can’t decide this way or that way, ‘Cause you’re lacking truth and wisdom. Pleasing flesh is most what matters. Life is filled with empty chatters. Pride in self, so self you flatter. Not live for God, for self, rather. Anger...

    Gone With the Wind

    Gone with the wind are people in sin, Following platitudes in their ingratitude. Beckoning not Him they forgot, Bent on their fortitudes, slaves to their hardihood. All for the flesh that they refresh, Living their livelihoods slaves to consumer goods. Them caring not God they forgot, Living...

    Is Committing Adultery Your Practice?

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one...

    We Must All Give Account

    “For who were those who heard and yet rebelled? Was it not all those who left Egypt led by Moses? And with whom was he provoked for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? And to whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest, but to those who...

    Are You Being Taken Advantage Of?

    “Here for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for I seek not what is yours but you. For children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but parents for their children. I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more, am I to be...

    The Past is Supposed to be Past

    “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the...

    In Accord with Christ Jesus

    “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 on me.’ For...

    Behold, These are the Wicked

    The arrogant and the wicked: “have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. Therefore pride is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. Their eyes swell out through fatness...

    Jesus' Teaching on Adultery

    “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

    Seek Good and Not Evil

    I am reading in Amos 5. God’s people had fallen due to their idolatries and their other sins, and so God was giving them counsel to seek him, and that they would live. But they were not to seek other avenues to rescue them. They were to seek the Lord and live, lest the Lord bring judgment upon...

    They Have Forsaken the Lord

    “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the Lord has spoken: ‘Children have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me. The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.’ “Ah, sinful nation...

    Man's Oppression

    Psalms 119:134-136 ESV “Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts. Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.” This is a prayer to be released (liberated, delivered)...

    Don't Give Up Hope!

    Luke 12:42-48 ESV “And the Lord said, ‘Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set him...

    Please Tell Them the Truth

    Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Now this word “imitate” can be used in at least two different ways. It can mean to mimic someone in a theatrical...

    The Way of Escape

    Video Talk Summary 1 Corinthians 10:1-11 The children of Israel were delivered from slavery in Egypt via the Lord’s servant Moses, but then they ended up wandering in the wilderness for forty years.

    Full of Excuses

    Video Talk Romans 1:18-25 ESV “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes...

    Faith and Obedience

    Hebrews 4:1-3a,11 ESV “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those...

    Ruled by Emotions

    Isaiah 30:1-2 ESV “Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh...

    The Flesh or The Spirit?

    Video Talk Galatians 5:16-21 ESV “But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things...
