The Will of Worship

May 19, 2025

If we are to love the Lord with all that is within us, it makes sense that our worship of the One True and Holy God would involve our wills at the highest level. This is demonstrated in the words of David from Psalm 9. Psalm 9:1–2 (ESV) — 1 I will give thanks to […]

The Deceitful Heart

May 12, 2025

We often hear the phrase, “just follow your heart,” but that is really not a good idea. Why? Just consider the wisdom of the Scriptures: Jeremiah 17:9–10 (ESV) — 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it? 10 “I the Lord search the heart and test the mind, […]

The World, The Flesh, and The Devil

May 5, 2025

Christians often are described as being in a constant battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil. Although the exact words are not seen, the premise is very much there. James 3:14–15 (ESV) — 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to […]

The Second Coming

April 28, 2025

Ever since Jesus ascended from earth to Heaven, His disciples have been instructed about, and therefore have been looking for, His second coming. Acts 1:9–11 (ESV) — 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And […]

Breastplate Of Remembrance

April 21, 2025

As God works in the heart to draw a person to the Lord Jesus Christ and receive the great relief in the forgiveness of sins, the new relationship with God and the bounty of blessings that unfold throughout life, there is also a longing for friends and family to know and experience this newfound faith. […]

Go And Make Disciples

April 14, 2025

The “Great Commission” is often used as a call for evangelistic efforts to be a witness to the world of God’s grace through Jesus Christ. In order to keep the command of this great commission, please notice that the words of the Lord Jesus Christ are to “go and make disciples.” Granted a disciple is […]

One Sided Response

April 7, 2025

Many situations in life make things tough, but living in a relationship where you are the one side that is carrying the load makes life extremely difficult. In seeking to help people through difficult one-sided circumstances, I have found the best way to help them bear their burdens is to guide them to the Lord […]

Ordinary Matters

March 31, 2025

Sometimes it seems the extraordinary or extravagant get all the attention, whereas the Bible is very clear that consistency over the long haul is a better way to approach life. When the great doctrine of the resurrection is defended and described in the book of 1st Corinthians, there is the call for the ordinary as […]

Of What Are You So Afraid?

March 24, 2025

There is much fear in the hearts of people today. In this post-Covid era, people are still reeling in the effects of the overwhelming words of fright that prevailed in the country. But wait! Is that how things should be? As the title says, “of what are you so afraid?” Psalm 27:1 (ESV) — 1 […]

Those Who Honor Me

March 17, 2025

We are to take everything in the Bible seriously. 2 Timothy 3:16–17 (ESV) — 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. In case we missed something along […]
