In a time when finances are tight and needs are high, how can we give, doing all things unto God? “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” (Col. 3:23) While I Corinthians 16 provides direction on financial support to others, we are to know that money is...

In the scriptures, we often encounter the profound contrast between light and darkness. From Genesis "in the beginning" and "let there be light" to Revelation and "a new heaven and new earth" with the "new Jerusalem" where "there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the...

This is perhaps one of the most epic visions in all the Bible, the single greatest revelation of what is perhaps the most striking, the most powerful, the most prestigious, the most elite class of all angels in all of God’s heavenly host. Some have called Ezekiel “the Patmos-seer of the OT,” because Ezekiel’s visions... Continue Reading →
From birth forward, each person learns to serve his own physical needs, progressively developing a passion for a multitude of worldly enticements. Our nature is to hyper-focus on our bodies, becoming addicted and under its power to serve its every need. If we’re hungry, we feed it, and when fearful, we protect ourselves. The flesh...

Sermon on the Mount was a message that I’m sure many people, especially His disciples, had been anticipating ever since the Lord began His ministry, because they want to know what’s the kingdom going to be like? How will people get into the kingdom? “The Chosen,” for example, had Jesus thinking through what He was... Continue Reading →
John 15:13] Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Rom. 13:14] But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. By the doctrine which is according to godliness, we are taught that our love...

Study of things from the Word of God is imperative and not just for students or teachers. In... Continue Reading →
We’re going to consider a Psalm that does not have a title. David is not mentioned either. Bullinger would write, “…for we have no more right to insert the name of ‘David’ where it is not written, than to take it out where it is.” The common thinking is that this Psalm was written by...

Take a moment right now to stop and think: The time we have on earth is truly a precious resource. Life is a training ground for eternity; an opportunity to put into practice what we learn.

Eph 6:18. “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” We all know the context is the armor of God.
