    Without Cause

    John 15:18-21 ESV “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you...

    Hated for Telling the Truth

    John 15:18-19 ESV “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” Followers of Jesus This is Jesus...

    Come Out, My People

    Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” Revelation 18:4-5 ESV

    A Great Fall!

    When I was a child, a long, long time ago, here in the United States of America, someone read to me, or I read what were called “Nursery Rhymes.” Honestly, I don’t know why these stories (rhymes) were read to young children, for most all of them were about something bad that happened to...

    Minds Set on Christ

    “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life...

    Difference Between Church and World?

    What is the difference between the Chruch and the World? It is very hard to tell in these end times.

    Our Spiritual Worship

    By God’s Mercies Romans 12:1 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice… Jesus Christ, God the Son, gave his life up for us on that cross in order to free us from condemnation and to deliver us out of our bondage to sin. He...

    Enslaved Again?

    Do you lay claims to being a follower of Jesus Christ? Does your walk match your talk? Or are you, behind closed doors, someone else entirely?

    His Goodness to Us

    The Lord Jesus led me to read John 17 (vv. 1-19 ESV). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, when he walked this earth, was fully God yet fully man.
