HEARKEN to HIS GRACE One day you will regret that you gave a deaf ear, For the grace of God was made very clear, Oh, this grace of God is such an unending treasure, But why do you continue to reject God's good pleasure? The Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour gave Himself for you, Why... Continue Reading →
“One” Thoughts from Ephesians
One. We know it most commonly as the first number of all numbers. It is the first whole number of which when other ones are added you get two, three, etc. Yet, there are other ways to understand one. One can denote singularity instead of duplicity. Instead of two or more of something there is... Continue Reading →
Judge Not or Judge All Things?
There was an article in an April, 2000, issue of the Berean Searchlight by C.R. Stam called “Judge Not – Judge All Things.” Check that out if you want to dive into this subject more deeply. There is a sense in which we are to judge not and there is a sense in which we... Continue Reading →
Ignorance…
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, (1 Thessalonians 4:13a) It has long been speculated that ignorance is not a sin, but to remain ignorant is. Yet, God had initiated sacrifices for sin committed in ignorance. Even when we hold the position that ignorance is not sin, ignorance has indeed created many problems, including... Continue Reading →
Who was Alexander the Coppersmith?
2Ti 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 2Ti 4:15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. Paul didn’t share this information because he wanted our pity. Paul isn't saying, “woe is me.” Paul shares this story for a reason.... Continue Reading →
And Can It Be?
For now on I really do have to remember to turn on my voice recorder when I am driving. I have always had peace when I am alone in my car driving, whether on my way to work, or running simple, mundane errands. I seem to be able to think clearer. I'm able to talk, not... Continue Reading →
Let Me Be
LET ME BE Why is it Lord that you should hear my call? My heart is obstinate and hard as a wall, I do my own thing and pleasures for me, Always saying to God, just let me be, But as the heartaches of life start to bring me down, I look for help and... Continue Reading →
Priscilla & Aquila
I love this couple way too much. Sometimes they’re called “Priscilla and Aquila” as in Rom. 16:3. In the Greek, their names would be pronounced as “pris’-cil-lah” and “ak-oo’-las”. I love that. Sometimes this dynamic duo is also called, as in 2 Tim. 4:19, Prisca and Aquila. Some say that Prisca is a shorthand version... Continue Reading →

Php 2:14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: Php 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom...

THE RECIPE FOR PEACE
There are two things that most people desire, not only today, but throughout history. Number one is peace. Number two is money. And, many believe that more money can create peace. This is impossible, because the lack of peace is within each and very human being. James, though addressing the 12 Tribes of Israel (James 1:1), had some incredible... Continue Reading →
Timothy Risks His Life
2 Tim. 4:9-22 2Ti 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 2Ti 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 2Ti 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to... Continue Reading →
The Great School of Grace
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus...

God is Love
There was an amazing article a couple of years ago found in the Christian Post and written by a lady named Hedieh Mirahmadi. The article was called, “What Drew Me Out of Islam to Follow Christ.” Hedieh shared a list of points about how to witness to a Muslim. At the top of her list... Continue Reading →
In the Beginning…
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The Beginning vs. the End I love the comparison between the end and the beginning of all things. J. Sidlow Baxter in his “Explore the Book” wrote, “A comparison of Genesis to Revelation proves that this book is a completed revelation of God... Continue Reading →

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward... Continue Reading →
Christ – The Firstborn from the Dead
The idea of resurrection is fantastical. A concept of myth and legends. Resurrection stands in contrast to that which we commonly and naturally experience and see. Death governs our life. It produces fear, marks decisions, and encourages us to lay hold on this life – this life before death. Yet, resurrection although may be legend... Continue Reading →

Asceticism for the Mind
1 Tim. 4:1-7 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath...

The Mystery of Godliness
1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified...
