Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. It is encouraging to see people ban together against tyranny and evil forces in the world. As Christians, standing strong with one another in Christ is something we are good at. Jesus, in His remarkable wisdom and perfect will,Continue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:14”

God Gives Strength, but We Don’t Always Notice.
It’s back again, as it custom every few weeks or so. The headaches. The muscle and joint aches and extreme fatigue. The nausea and appetite loss. The insomnia. The chest pain and arrhythmia. It’s the natural result of taking on too much, and taking on too much is my lot in life, it seems. GodContinue reading “God Gives Strength, but We Don’t Always Notice.”
Adultery As Defined By Jesus: Part 2
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it fromContinue reading “Adultery As Defined By Jesus: Part 2”
Considering Proverbs 11:4
Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. I think of a passage in Isaiah 2 that says, “in that day they will cast their idols of silver and their idols of gold which they made everyone for himself to worship to the moles and to the bats; to goContinue reading “Considering Proverbs 11:4”

Fear is a Form of Worship
I don’t always fear God as I should. This is especially true when I begin to exalt my fears as being higher and mightier forces in my life than God Himself.

Are you Concerned About “Overcoming?” You Aren’t Alone.

Discerning Salvation Issues: Be Careful About What You Build
Which Christian doctrines are necessary for salvation? Last night, I made a post about my perspective concerning where to draw the line concerning Christian doctrine as it pertains to salvation.

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

But You Denied the Holy One and the Just, and Desired a Murderer
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, theContinue reading “But You Denied the Holy One and the Just, and Desired a Murderer”
