THE END OF THE WAY FOR THE BLESSED AND FOR THE NON-BLESSED

Psalm 1:4-6; Job 23:10-12 “. . . for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” Psalm 1:6 (ESV) What a contrast here!  And how comforting to know that our Guide knows personally every stick and stone and bump, and bog and turn in our particular road,

DO YOU PICK AND CHOOSE – MILK OR MEAT?

1 Thessalonians 4:3; 5:23-25; Hebrews 5:12-14 (NIV) “In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again.

HOW AMAZING!

Psalm 8:3, 4 “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?” (NIV) Every time I read Psalm 8:3 & 4 I marvel at the

“WHAT’S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE . . .”

Genesis 29:21-30 “In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. . .” Matthew 7:12 (BSB) You’ve heard the expression “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”  It means “The chickens will surely come home to roost.”  In Biblical parlance, it means “God is not mocked.  Whatsoever

THE BEAUTY OF HOLINESS

Psalm 96:9; 1 Chronicles 16:29; Rom. 12:1-2 “Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.” Psalm 29:2 (NKJV) It is said that “beauty” is in the eye of the beholder.  I believe this to be true.  This saying first appeared in the 3rd century BC

Colossians 2:6-10 “Therefore as you receive Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” (vs.6, 7 ESV) The Apostle Paul states three things he sees in those who have received Christ.  We see them, especially in

GOD’S POWER – Part 1

“The Omnipotence of God” Rev. 19:6 “And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!” The word omnipotent is used only once in God’s word.  Rev. 19:6 speaks of the “Marriage
