Willing To Sacrifice
Acts 20:24 (KJV) But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Persistence amid persecution is a part of a sincere, godly character. The Apostle Paul, penning this at the inspiration of God, ought to know this well. These traits are evident ...

A Stark Warning
Matthew 10:32-33 (KJV) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
These verses reveal to us that no person can choose to ignore Jesus Christ as they dwell on this earth and expect God to warmly embrace them and accept them once they arrive in eternity. What ...

God Is Our Help
Psalm 124:8 (KJV) Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
David knew that the answer to life’s problems is and will always be God. David placed God, the creator, in His rightful place as the one who formed and holds the earth. God’s position is forever, despite this world’s many shortcomings and troubles, God will continue to hold up this earth until it is time for its demise and ...

He Crossed The Finish Line
Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Not My Father
John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
The devil is the father of lies. This scripture verse above describes that in the very words of ...

A Triple Play
Psalm 1:1-2 (KJV) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Fondness For Eternal Matters
Colossians 3:2 (KJV) Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Yes, here is yet another ‘not” verse for us to consider. This time God tells us to set our affection on things eternal, not upon things at work on this earth. This directive is backward from what is acceptable and palatable to this world. People clamor to matters in the here and now and frequently elect to shun or disregard heavenly ...

Touch Not
2 Corinthians 6:17-18 (KJV) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
These two verses above give us a lot to digest. First, we will consider the negative portion, “touch not the unclean thing…” God is calling for His spiritual family to separate ...

Moved The People
Mark 15:11 (KJV) But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
This verse tells us that the chief priests, out of jealousy, worked the assembled crowd into a frenzy, pushing them to ask Pilate for Barabbas’ release rather than freeing this innocent man, Jesus Christ. Oh, how easy it is to sway public opinion and twist the truth by pushing a few persistent protesters to motivate and provoke a growing ...
