Like Sodom and Gomorrah
Isaiah 1:9-10 (KJB) Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

Abram Did Not Want Sodom’s Spoils
Genesis 14:21-24 (KJB) And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. 22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, 23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, ...

Ready to Burst Forth
Job 32:19 (KJB) Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Elihu could not contain himself. He was ready to burst forth in giving his “humble” opinion. He likened himself to a bottle of wine in ancient times which when fermented could pop open and burst its contents forth.
Perhaps you can relate to a time or two you were impatiently waiting to give your opinion to ...

Earthly Ranking Means Nothing
Romans 2:11 (KJB) For there is no respect of persons with God.
When the Lord returns, or upon your physical death in this world, earthly rank and privilege will be of no value. What a man strives for accomplishing on this earth has no meaning in the eternal realm.
The Bible clearly tells us that a priest, a master, a mistress, a seller, a lender, and the taker of usury will all face the same standard of ...

Your Thoughts
Proverbs 16:3 (KJB) Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Your head is one big air hole just waiting to be filled with thought. Unfortunately, many people do not consider, even for a moment, what goes in and comes out of their mind each day. Sadly, many people allow seemingly harmless drivel of this world to find space to occupy rent-free inside their head.
However, consider that if a person does not allow God ...

Curious Art Books Burned
Acts 19:17-20 (KJB) And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. 19 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand ...

Right Hand, Left Hand
Ecclesiastes 10:2 (KJB) A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.
The Bible does make a distinction between right and left as found in a few places in His Word. The most recognizable one is when Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of God His Father. Why, the right-hand position, you may ask? Doing so signifies that Jesus Christ was finished with the spiritual work given ...

A Future Eternal Glory
James 1:12 (KJB) Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

This scripture says a genuine child of God will receive the ...
