Hebrews 2.5 records, God didn’t put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we’re dealing 
with here.
God didn’t put angels in charge of this salvation business. Clear, emphatic, concise, understandable. God put men in charge of sharing with men Who He is and what He requires. It’s not more complicated than that. (more…)
Psalm 25.3 records, I’ve thrown in my lot with You; You won’t embarrass me, will You? Or let my enemies get the best of me? Don’t embarrass any of us…
1 Timothy 6.11-12 commands, you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the
eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.
The successful businessman, the Olympic athlete, the small child on Christmas morning, all know the meaning of run hard and fast toward the goal, to seize the day and to fervently embrace the desire of their affection. This picture is to be the normal Christian life. (more…)
1 Timothy 2.4-7declares, He wants not only us but everyone saved, you know, everyone to get to know
the truth we’ve learned: that there’s one God and only one, and one Priest-Mediator between God and us—Jesus, who offered Himself in exchange for everyone held captive by sin, to set them all free. Eventually the news is going to get out. This and this only has been my appointed work: getting this news to those who have never heard of God, and explaining how it works by simple faith and plain truth.
The will of God is for all people everywhere to know Him and to grow into His image becoming just like His first born Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The means God has ordained for accomplishing His will is through His people, the Church, obedient to His command to go and make disciples. Every person in Christ, is to be a part of bringing every person separated from Christ, to Christ, for reconciliation. (more…)
Proverbs 28.4 observes, If you desert God’s law, you’re free to embrace depravity; if you love God’s law,
you fight for it tooth and nail.
Most Christians would say they love God’s law but we don’t fight for it. We haven’t fought for God’s law in 70 years and so we see the continuing and now accelerating moral decline of this country. (more…)
Ephesians 1.23 observes, the church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to 
the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence.
Oh that we as the Church, the people who claim Jesus as Savior, would embrace this truth: the Church is not peripheral to the world but the world is peripheral to the Church. (more…)
John 4.34-35 observes, Jesus said, The food that keeps Me going is that I do the will of the One who 
sent Me, finishing the work He started. As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time!
Food is fuel, fuel necessary for accomplishing the goals we have for our life. Not enough food and food is all we think about. Too much food and we are unhappy physically becoming lethargic until the fullness goes away. Too little food and we will eat anything. Too much food and we become picky. Too little food and we become scrawny and weak. Too much food and we become fat and weak. (more…)
Luke 13.6-7 warns, what’s going on here? For three years now I’ve come to this tree expecting apples 
and not one apple have I found. Chop it down! Why waste good ground with it any longer?
God expects His people to bear fruit. It is to His glory He said, that we bear much fruit. Since the beginning of our inception, when He spoke into existence the first man and the first woman, God has commanded that we be fruitful and multiply. (more…)
Luke 9.62 demands, no procrastination. No backward looks. You can’t put God’s kingdom off till 
tomorrow. Seize the day.
Time is the one commodity we must spend all of today. There is no saving time though we speak of such regularly. We always seem to be trying to save time. But it ticks away every second regardless of what we do. So what should we do? (more…)
Luke 7.47 observes, if the forgiveness is minimal, the gratitude is minimal.
Public education has spent the last 50 years teaching us that we are born good but due to poor environments go bad. This is why everyone is a winner and we work so hard to keep anyone from feeling like a loser. All are given a trophy for attendance rather than performance. God teaches us something different in His biography. (more…)
