God’s Handiwork is Extraordinary and Evident

Romans 1:20 (KJB) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

God placed many unique things within the framework of this world that clearly indicates His mark on creation.  I am sure you are familiar with the seven wonders of the world which are marvels that mankind ...

Serve Without Doubt

Serve Without Doubt

Serve Without Doubt

Hebrews 11:1 (KJB) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

It is true, genuine faith is living well with God despite any unanswered questions.  You see, a child of God chooses to place trust in God even though there is unseen evidence.  Not all things make perfect sense from our limited vantage point in this world.

If you read a bit further beyond this verse in God’s Word you will ...

Trusting God in The Darkness

Isaiah 50:10-11 (KJB) Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. 11 Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of ...

The Wisdom of Job

The Wisdom of Job

The Wisdom of Job

Job 27:8 (KJB) For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Here is another powerful statement which was given by a person who lived life to the fullest with God.  This man Job placed his trust in God, despite his circumstances in this world.  Job’s life did not involve petty spiritual issues or lightweight conditions and quite frankly, his life became very miserable and bleak in losing most ...

The Wicked Will Be Snuffed Out

The Wicked Will Be Snuffed Out

Job 21:17 (KJB) How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

Yes, though it may seem as if a person can get away with evil in this world, that is not so. In fact, that statement is far from the truth of God for He deals with the wicked in his way and timing.  Though perhaps an evil ...

Demonstrating Wisdom

James 3:13 (KJB) Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

Who is a wise man?

Where are all the wise men in this world?

These are relevant questions that need to be asked today in this wicked world.  Doesn’t it seem like the evil at work has risen to new heights and there is no longer much wisdom of God at work ...

Spiritual Goodness Over Sacrifice

Hosea 6:5-6 (KJB) Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

The Old Testament was filled with the laws, standards, and the necessity of coming before God and offering a shed blood sacrifice for the presence of sin.  Such ...

The Pharisees Feathers were Ruffled

Matthew 9:10-13 (KJB) And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? 12 But when Jesus heawererd that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13 ...

Mercy Not Sacrifice

Mercy Not Sacrifice

August 13th, 2019

Mercy Not Sacrifice

Matthew 12:7 (KJB) But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.

Jesus is speaking about the law.  The purpose of God’s Law is not to be a burden but a blessing.  The Law is not about following rules.  It is about God extending unlimited mercy and grace in fulfilling His Law in regenerated hearts.   God’s Law is not about our need to sacrifice ...

He Said One Word: “GO”

Matthew 8:32 (KJB) And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.

Jesus Christ said “GO” and the demon spirits immediately left for they recognized Him and feared for their immediate future.  There was no time for hanging around or choosing to ignore His ...
