Limits, Liberties, and Pleasing God

Leviticus 19:27-28 (KJB) Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard. 28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

Some of you will read these two ancient verses and immediately rail about the ridiculous restrictions some may comprehend are divinely introduced and expected when having a proper understanding what they ...

Pleasing God Not Man

Pleasing God Not Man

Galatians 1:10 (KJB) For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

It’s true, what is pleasing to men is not often pleasing to God.  Likewise, what is pleasing to God is not pleasing to man.  This brings up the age-old question: Am I to please man or God?

For the sincere man and woman of God, ...

By Faith Eternal Dividends Accumulate

Hebrews 11:5-6 (KJB)   By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.  6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Faith is a display of confidence in ...

Your Spiritual Obligation

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (KJB)   Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

This is a powerful “one liner” from the Word of God.  The Bible is filled to overflowing with spiritual commandments, precepts, insight, and direction in living a successful spiritual life.  Every scripture verse has been included through inspiration and direction of God for mankind to take to heart.

This verses succinctly concludes ...

Does Your Life Have These Perpetual and Pleasing Ingredients?

Does Your Life Have These Perpetual and Pleasing Ingredients?

Does Your Life Have These Perpetual and Pleasing Ingredients?

Hebrews 12:14 (KJB)   Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

These two ingredients, peace and holiness, are often found to be absent, or at least greatly diminished in the lives of many professing Christians today.

Peace and holiness, or having “spiritual zest,” is a crucial element in living a new spiritual life.  These spiritual components come only through possessing a personal relationship with God.  ...

You Will Likely Taste Death

You Will Likely Taste Death

By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5 KJV)

Enoch did not taste death.  You and I will surely face physical death.  Unless, of course, Jesus Christ returns before the onset of our natural death.

The Bible says Enoch was translated:

“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see ...
