Lord delivers him from them all; He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken. (more…)
2 Timothy 3.2-5 describes, people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
Mark 9.29 records, He replied, this kind can come out only by prayer.
The disciples did not see Jesus pray for the demon to be removed, they only saw Him rebuke the demon and it left the boy. Why then did Jesus say the disciples failed to remove the demon by their rebuke because they had not prayed? (more…)
Colossians 3.10 commands, put on the new self, which is being renewed in
knowledge in the image of its Creator.
God the Father has the objective of having all people from all time living with Him forever. This will not be the case but that is because men refuse God rather than because God refuses men.

Mark 1.17 invites us to come, follow Me, Jesus said, and I will send you out to fish

Galatians 5.7 observes, you were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep
you from obeying the truth?
The Christian life is a journey to a destination where the journey continues forever and ever. Like living with a family, it is daily, forever we hope, changing yet always the same. It is good but sometimes it is hard. It brings us our greatest joy but also can bring us our greatest sorrow.
John 6.27 commands, do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures
to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on Him God the Father has placed His seal of approval.

2 Corinthians 5.10-11 reminds us, we must all appear before the judgment seat
of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. (more…)
