GOD AT THE CENTER

Deuteronomy 6:4-19 “The LORD our God, The Lord is One.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”  (vs.4,5) It is difficult to accept, but at one time people believed the earth was at the center of the then-known universe.  The sun and other heavenly

WATCH OVER YOUR HEART

Proverbs 4:23 “Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you.  Watch the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established.  Do not turn to the right or to the left; foot from evil.”  Prov. 4:25-27 There is a cry of warning that emerges from

ACCENTING THE NEGATIVE APPROPRIATELY WHEN SIN IS IN!

Ezekiel 3:17-19; Revelation 21:7-8 “When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Ezekiel 3:18 (NKJV)

WALKING IN LIGHT

1 John 1:7 “but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7 NASB) Walking in the light connotes obedience to the truth that is in Jesus, which the Holy

THE DEVIL AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (NKJV) “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits – Matthew 7:15,16 (KJV). There are circumstances in which it is possible for the devil to disguise himself and take advantage of people. This happens through involvement

LET’S KEEP IT SIMPLE

Proverbs 3:1-10 “but let your heart keep my commands” (vs.3:1b); “then your barns will be completely filled,” (vs.10a) It seems that one of our great failings as human beings is that of taking that which is simple and making it so complicated. Jesus Christ said we were to be the salt of the earth and

THE BELIEVER’S “AMEN”

Ephesians 3:14-21 “[He] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (verse 20) Do you really believe in this promise of God?  Today as you pray for the lost, your family and friends, are you believing God?  And as you pray for your Church, are you really believing in Him

UNCERTAINTY

Philippians 4:12-13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (verse 13) The apostle who wrote these words was not promoting the latest get-rich-quick-through-real-estate scheme nor was he declaring his call to build the city’s (or the country’s or the state’s) biggest church.  Instead, Paul was recognizing the inevitability of uncertainty in the

OUR WEAKNESS, HIS STRENGTH, TO HIS GLORY

1 Cor. 10:12-13; 1 John 2:1 “Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Cor. 15:58 (ESV) God’s word tells us He will never put us through anything we cannot endure and that His grace is

A Life’s Verse(s)!

Acts 26:16-18 “that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (vs. 18b) Do you have a life’s verse that is your theme for living? For instance, my wife’s verses are Prov. 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not
