Life was in Him,and that life was the light of men.That light shines in the darkness,yet the darkness did not overcome it.(John 1:4-5 HCSB ©®) There was a man from the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Him at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher, […]
I frequently hear old people complaining about joint pain and organ pain and stiffness and lack of energy and many other physical issues. Their bodies are not serving them well.The Complete Jewish Bible translated something Paul wrote to the believers in Ephesus (5:29-30) as “Why, no one ever hated his own flesh! On the contrary, he feeds it well and […]
Jesus entered His Kingdom as a little child. Then, He grew in grace with men and with God. Then, He did the work in the Kingdom which He was ordained to. Then, He received great reward. Unless you had humbled yourself as a little child, you would have not entered His Kingdom. Unless you grow in grace with other humans […]
Mohammad’s god is not Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The only evidence there is that Mohammad had an encounter with a god is that Mohammad said so. The god he claims sent revelation to him is distant and likely to be disinterested. That god’s greatest promise to Muslims seems to be eternal life with a harem. Yahweh […]
The Bible is not the only thing the Spirit of God wants to say to you. Those words are not the answer to your questions about whether to marry, or where to work, or when to purchase a home, or why your knee hurts. That Book is like a manual on marriage. Now that you have become a part of […]

How countless are Your works, Lord!In wisdom You have made them all;the earth is full of Your creatures.Here is the sea, vast and wide,teeming with creatures beyond number—living things both large and small.There the ships move about,and Leviathan, which You formed to play there.All of them wait for Youto give them their food at the right time.When You give it […]
The heavens declare the glory of God,and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.Day after day they pour out speech;night after night they communicate knowledge.There is no speech; there are no words;their voice is not heard.Their message has gone out to all the earth,and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.In the heavens He has pitched a […]
Are you in a cycle of some sort? Is every day a tiring new version of the previous day? Contrary to Solomon’s carnal advice in Ecclesiastes, some things are new in the earth. Yahweh’s mercy is one of them. It’s new every morning. His prayers for you are new today. If you don’t seem to be in a spiral up […]
If more of our Sunday morning Meetings had been locker room experiences rather than “the big game,” we might not be in quite such terrible condition in the nation as we currently are. As long as we depend on a small percentage of believers to do all the spiritual work in the world under the authority of the “church,” we […]
