How Are The Mighty Fallen!

On this Veterans Day Sunday, I can say that we take for granted what we’ve been given.  It came with a great price.  Many casualties of war are still alive, suffering lifetime injuries with long-term effects.  Even though some wars may not have been won, the military deterrent in the area was there;...

Which Side of the Lake Do You Live On?

Think about your spiritual life.  Are you ready?  If you’ve never accepted Christ as Savior, the problem of sin, your sinful nature, your soul, the curse of Adam is still there along with your eternal, dark destiny in a place too horrible to think of.   Each person has the opportunity to do something...

The Things Written Aforetime

Romans 15: 4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6That ye may with one mind...

Standing To Your Master

Romans 14: 4Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. 5One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Several...

Where Is Your Faith

Luke 8:  22Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with...

Angel Hands

We’re familiar with the term guardian angels.  We each have one or more.  What role do they play?  Many times we take them for granted.  We have our being in the dimension of time and space, but alongside that is the unseen world.  We can’t visualize the spirit world, but it is there.  For...

IF Children, THEN Heirs

Romans 8: 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with...

The Spitting Savior

A spitting Savior doesn’t sound too good, but it’s the truth.  It sounds revolting to say that Jesus spat on this man, but here is a lesson we need to learn.  The only criterion we must meet to be saved is the Bible, the gospel.  Follow God’s plan whether it agrees with or satisfies man or not. ...

The Word of a King

I counsel thee to keep the king’s commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God. Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, what doest thou? Whoso keepeth the...

The Children Lost and Children on the Way

The church lives, it conquers, it progresses by faith.  The people in this scripture felt what God said couldn’t be so.  It doesn’t matter what shape the world is in.  That doesn’t govern what shape we’re to be in.  We can let it get to us, but that’s our misfortune.  The Lord made a straight...
