But Rather Giving Of Thanks
Is God interested in the words that come out of our mouths? Yes, very much so!

The following was written by the Apostle Paul about the Jews. Romans 10:2-3 “For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Confession Part 1
Confession is very important to a Christian. It is important to confess before God and other people – to lay our hearts open and confess what we really believe. Romans 10:8-10 “But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which […]

Confession Part 2
Confession from our mouth is very important. Romans 10:8b-10 “‘The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will […]

For Works of Service
I have read and studied the scriptures many times. But sometimes I will see things that I never saw before and a light will go on like “oh, that is what the writer is saying!” Perhaps that has happened to you too. That is one reason we need to continue to study the word. One […]
