Boldness
I have great respect for the Apostle Paul. He was instrumental in the spreading of the gospel throughout much of the known world during his time. He was willing to suffer persecutions for Jesus Christ. He lists what he had to go through to preach the gospel in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27 “In labors more abundant, […]

The Book of Life
The apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Philippians. As he began to close his letter, he wrote several personal notes to individuals that he knew. Consider what he wrote in Philippians 4:3 “And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the […]

Eternal Punishment
It is clear from the Bible that one of two destinations awaits each person after this life. Paul wrote about the judgement of God in Romans 2:6-11 “who ‘will render to each one according to his deeds’: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but […]

We learn how to walk, how to talk, how to use a fork or spoon, and many other things by seeing and hearing our parents do these things. There may be instruction […]

It’s All About God
Most of us are very familiar with the Lord’s Prayer. Matthew 6:9-13 “In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our […]

Is Anything Too Hard For The Lord?
The Lord had given Abraham a promise that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky. But Abraham was near one hundred years old and he still didn’t have a son through his wife Sarah. In Genesis 18, we read that the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of […]

Praying For Others
God wants us to pray to Him. We are even told to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17). But I ask you to consider your prayers. What do you pray about? Do you mostly pray that God would solve problems in your life or show you what to do? Do you also thank God for […]
