– I was reading from the Prophet Jeremiah recently where he wrote, “Come out of her, my people! Run for your lives! Run from the fierce anger of the Lord.” Jeremiah 51:45. This is the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah to pass on to the southern kingdom of Judah during the last 40… Read More »
Paul’s Quest
In Philippians chapter 3, Paul states, “Not that I have attained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ took hold of me.” (v 12). What is Paul talking about here? He speaks of things he has not attained, and how he is… Read More »
Guard Your Heart And Mind
In Philippians, Paul instructs his readers, 6“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Phil 4:6-7. This passage is very well known, although I am… Read More »
Love For God
In Bible study this past week we came upon the verse, “Because I live, you also will live” John 14:19. Of course, these are the words of Jesus to His disciples. He spoke them during the last supper as part of a long discourse to strengthen, encourage, and comfort them. He was to be crucified… Read More »
There Is Only One You
Do you listen to K-Love? It is the Christian radio station in our area-102.7FM. I listen often, and I would encourage you to do so as well. Several of the songs we sing for worship are played regularly. They speak the name of Jesus often, and are not ashamed to praise Him openly, rather than… Read More »
The Holy Spirit Is Different, Here’s How
Last Sunday I received a word from the Holy Spirit as the service was ending. I shared a bit of it in my closing remarks, but it bears repeating because of its importance. First, consider the following verse: When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made… Read More »
The Holy Spirit’s Work
Almost everything I have been given to preach in the past few months has been about the Holy Spirit. Of course, I wouldn’t change any of this even if I could, but I want you to know that it is all the Lord’s work. I believe He is identifying for us a Treasure of wisdom,… Read More »
God’s Promise Fulfilled
I was reading from the Old Testament book of Joshua recently. In chapter 24:14, Joshua tells the nation of Israel: “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart that not one of all the promises that Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise… Read More »
The Teaching About Righteousness
By most accounts, the book of Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians in the 1st century. They were converts to Christianity, most likely coming to faith after the resurrection of Jesus, by the word of the apostles. At this time, Peter was the foremost apostle to the Jews; Paul was God’s apostle to the Gentiles.… Read More »
The Spirit’s Answer
The focus of so much of my life and Bible study these days is on the Holy Spirit. This has happened to me, I believe, in answer to prayer that I could know more than I do, being better prepared as a pastor. God is the giver of good gifts. He has told us that… Read More »
