A Faithful Season
Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Today is the first day of December. This means the holiday season is fast approaching. It is time set aside since the first century for remembering the virgin birth of Christ. It is a time of faith ...

Jesus Silences the Hypocrites
John 8:7 (KJV) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
These verses come from one of my favorite accounts God inspired for John to record in His Word. The context of this verse is that a group of people came to Jesus to report dodgy behavior concerning a promiscuous woman. Regrettably, this woman was ...

What About The After-Life?
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.
It seems nothing is more intriguing to curious earthly souls than the thought of the afterlife. Undoubtedly, Hollywood helps to stir the imagination in a big way with their many series and movies portraying what writers and producers think life after death will entail. You see everything from the walking dead to an almost fairy tale kind of ...

The Devil Pressures Us Away From God’s Green Pasture
Psalm 23:2 (KJV) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
I think about the tremendous pressure that a deep diver goes through to descend into the depths, and as he rises to the surface, the pressures change again. Such incredible force met in the wrong timing can lead any diver to face the bends. This condition is a severe health complication that ...

The Truth Is Shocking
Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
For all you “do-gooders” out there, how do you account for this “to the point” verse? This scripture cuts to the heart of the matter. No matter how good we might think we are or imply the things we do are essential, pleasing, and acceptable to God, none of our doing can make it beyond the truth-filled message of this pointed ...

God Gives Us All We Need
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Each regenerated soul is recovering from sin. What does that statement mean? Though we asked for forgiveness for our sin and God sanctified our soul from the wages of sin made possible by His shed-blood ...

Gave Us All Things
2 Peter 1:2-3 (KJV) Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.
Isn’t it wonderful that God did not give us a “fill in the blank” Bible? No, God gave us all that we need. Yes, we ...

Delight In His Word
Psalm 119:162 (KJV) I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil.
Imagine for a moment that you won a considerable amount of money. Or a wealthy distant relative bequeaths you a rather large sum of money. Or perhaps you start remodeling your old house and find a hidden stash of cash in the wall. Likely you would consider any of these scenarios as finding great spoil. Think of the joy you may feel ...

Experience Violence and Force
Matthew 11:12 (KJV) And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
It is easy to get caught up in the violence reported today in the news and think that this world is falling to utter corruption swiftly. It is vital to place the evil at work today in the proper context. Brutality and carnage on this earth have been at work ...

The Wicked Are Like Scavenging Rats
Revelation 22:14-15 (KJV) Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
The thought of giant rats foraging for food, especially near me, makes me shudder. I think that most of us can recall a movie or ...
