Better Than Jesus

What could be better than having Jesus around? According to Him, it is better for us to have the Holy Spirit around: “But now I am going away to Him who sent Me, and not one of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ Yet, because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I […]

Listen to Wisdom

My [child], if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, listening closely to wisdom and directing your heart to understanding; furthermore, if you call out to insight and lift your voice to understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it like hidden treasure,  then you will understand the fear of the Lord and […]

Household of Truth

We are the people who live in Yahweh’s household. We eat at His table. We are welcome at His meetings and gatherings. I write these things to you, hoping to come to you soon. But if I should be delayed, I have written so that you will know how people ought to act in God’s household, which is the church […]

Angels Seeing You

Angels who have seen the awesome glory of their Creator, with no veil to shield them, not needing it because they have no earthly flesh from an ancestor like Adam, have seen much! They have seen more than John saw in the Revelation of Jesus that he received. Some of that was shown to him by angels. They have seen […]

Owning the Scriptures

It was the middle of the 15th century before a person could purchase a copy of a Bible that had been printed instead of transcribed by hand. Reduction in the cost of printing continued to progress until in 1579, a law was created in Scotland that required every household that could afford to do so to purchase a copy of […]

Letting Jesus In

In the Revelation of Jesus that John received, this was the message Jesus sent to the believers called to be the church in Laodicia: “The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation says: I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are […]

Answered Prayers

In Acts 16:16-34, Luke described a sequence of events that led to a miracle. Paul and Silas were preaching in Philippi. They cast an unclean spirit out of a girl whom it had empowered to predict the future. Her owners drug them to a Roman court in the city. The judges had them stripped, beaten, and jailed with their feet […]

Fully Committed

Whether we are sent to be the only messenger Yahweh has yet sent to a group of people so deep in the jungles or mountains that we will never again see anyone who looks like us, or we have an assignment that seems so insignificant that anyone could do it, and probably better than us, we should be fully committed […]

Strong and Full of Courage

What are you in the earth as a son or daughter of Yahweh to be and do? If you don’t know yet, ask Him. Ask others to pray for you to get this very important revelation. If you do know, but you are not yet prepared to be able to do it, then get prepared. Does it take a certain skill? […]

Big Siblings

In families, especially at times when family members worked in family businesses or on farms, as the older children grew, they received increased responsibilities. The new duties were not just related to the business, but to the younger children. They taught them the way to live and work. Many congregations are so relationship resistant that they are more like orphanages […]
