Right with God and Unpopular with The World
1 Kings 15:11-14 (KJB) And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father. 12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron. 14 But ...

The Hour is Coming
John 5:28-29 (KJB) Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
God warns us over and over again about the coming hour when all souls; dead or alive, will hear and rise to God’s voice. Perhaps this description seems more like a modern-day ...

Dead in Adam or Alive in Christ?
1 Corinthians 15:21-22 (KJB) For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
You cannot have it both ways; a person is either dead in Adam or alive in Christ. God divides humanity as only spiritually saved or as having an eternally lost heart condition. Each soul is either naturally bent towards hell or aligned with God in sweet ...

Misplaced Trust is Foolish
Psalm 146:3-4 (KJB) Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
It is not abundantly clear who the author of this Psalm is, however, his trust placed in God is evident. Some will say this Psalmist was certainly David, who through many trials, tragedies, and triumphs knew where to find lasting hope and confidence despite his state of ...

Not Heresy but Conviction of The Heart
Acts 24:14-16 (KJB) But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence ...

Lust of The Flesh Woes
1 Kings 11:1-2 (KJB) But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites; 2 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
“But king Solomon loved many strange women…” This short phrase tells us a lot ...

John 1:19 (KJB) And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Why did they ask John who he was?
There are a few examples in these verses I would like to examine.
First, we will examine the example of John’s humility.
John 1:19 (KJB) And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Getting to know John the Baptist is a study about ...

Sojourn in Fear
1 Peter 1:17 (KJB) And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.
There is much valuable eternal information for us to hear and take to heart found in this verse. First up, please duly note the word “if” located in this verse.
“If ye call on the Father…” sets the spiritual tone for a proper understanding of God’s message. This spiritual stipulation precedes a critical promise. Why, because ...

Spiritual Deafness
John 8:43-44 (KJB) Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 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 lies through any means possible, including the news ...

Against Thee Only
Psalm 51:4 (KJB) Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
David was heartbroken and spiritually naked before God. His sin laid bare and evil before God. David understood the magnitude of his sin against the holy nature and perfection of God. How grievous all sin is before God, yet how wonderful it is that He cares for us and desires to forgive and ...
