Judah, Thou Art He

Here we’ll learn about the Messiah and the plan of salvation as the Lord reveals things through the blessing Jacob gave to his sons.  These Old Testament writings are how the scribes should have known when Jesus would be born.  This talks about the tribes of Israel, 12 of them, which would come through...

Praise Before The gods

Praise before the gods.  That doesn’t sound quite right, but that’s what David said.  Man hasn’t changed that much.  We’re living in a modern, advanced day as far as knowledge and technology, but man is still prone to follow after his own gods.  It’s an insatiable pursuit of something to...

None But One

Luke 17:  11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.  12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14And...

The Whole Family

Paul reminds us in this prayer for the Ephesian church of who we are and how things are in God’s eyes.  He uses the phrase the whole family.  At the crux of salvation is family.  Jesus came to raise the family of Adam out its hopeless condition. Ephesians 3: 14For this cause I bow my knees unto...

From His Family To Yours

Find yourself in this passage.  You are here! Matthew 12: 46While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48But he answered...

“Touched With The Feeling”

The devil wants us to forget this passage.  These three verses hold truths that make whatever life throws at us survivable.  They turn battles to victory.  It all adds up to one fact stated simply:  what a friend we have in Jesus.  We are friends with each other because of Christ.  However, he’s...

Love’s Determination

Determination is the thought here.  It’s a perfect picture illustrated by the Shunammite woman. She was engaged to King Solomon.  She awoke to look for him, but she couldn’t find him.  She sought for him until she did, and then she wouldn’t let him go.  She took him to her mother’s house. ...

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...
