I’m going back today to Peter, Cornelius, and water baptism, to point out something that a lot of folks need to seriously consider. I’m not going to re-write other posts that have been done on the subject, but in short o…
1 Samuel Chapter 12: 18 So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel. 19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants un…
I have just a few words today on the inseparable sign of the new birth. When the believing Pharisee Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, Jesus told him something about being born again that is just totally overlooked by alm…
Philippians Chapter 3: 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may…
I caught myself praying about something today that I pray about often, and I had to reconsider what the heck I was praying. My prayer at that particular moment was, “Lord, let me understand your will about healing and mi…
Romans Chapter 4: 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who…
"So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had…
John Chapter 1: 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. 30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before m…
Psalm 12 King James Version (KJV) 12 Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double h…
Acts Chapter 10: 42 And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name…
John Chapter 5: 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Fathe…
Hebrews Chapter 1: 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I beg…
Exodus Chapter 14: 8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand. 9 But the Egyptians pursued after them, a…
Psalm Chapter 37: 1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and…
“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jer. 10:23). Often times in life we just don’t really know what we are doing, or where we are going. One thing is…
Romans Chapter 5: 12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed w…
Hebrews Chapter 8: 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a…
If you love Jesus more than anybody or anything, there is no telling what he will do for you, or give you. And I'm talking about things and situations in this world. God is not a God of deprivation, the way a lot of over…
2 Peter Chapter 3: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things con…
Jude Chapter 1: 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delive…
"For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come" (Heb. 13:14). I guess this scripture fits what I feel today more than any other I can think of. After burying my beloved 17 1/2 year old Pit Bull today, I am…
