1 Corinthians 4.10-13 observes, we are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! To…
James 2.26 observes, just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith
without works is dead.
There is too much faith without works in our churches today. The people of God expect the hirelings to do the work when the Scripture commands the hirelings to equip the people for works of service to God. Why is this to be the case? (more…)
2 Corinthians 5.6 observes, we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body
we are away from the Lord.
Paul is speaking about our physical body though he is encouraging us about our future body. Paul reminds us that while we live on earth we are not at home with the Lord. Our true destiny, our true residence, our true happiness, is with Jesus where He is living bodily; with Him forever. (more…)
John 6.39-40 records, that everything handed over to Me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.

Luke 6:38 promises whatever measure you use to give—large or small—will be used to measure what is given back to you. I don’t really like this promise because in my…
Deuteronomy 14:23 teaches the purpose of tithing is to teach you always to put God first in your lives. God doesn't need my money, most of us have heard, said…
Matthew 25.40 reminds us as you did it for one of the least of these brothers of Mine you did it for Me. In perhaps the most famous judgment teaching…
Acts 5.5 observes Annanias collapsed and died. When the Church started the people understood that this life was temporary and that the life to come was eternal. This eternal life…
Deuteronomy 15.9 warns against a wrong attitude toward your poor brother. Admittedly I struggle with a bad attitude toward those who stand on corners asking for money.It seems like a…
