There is much ado in Christendom over the place of God's Law in life, especially the Ten Commandments. This is important as we know that ALL Scripture is given by God and is profitable (II Timothy 3:16) and we know that the Law is not over us (Romans 6:14, 8:2) as it does not save (Galatians 2:16). Yet,... Continue Reading →
Troy noted this verse yesterday and the men talked about this verse last Thursday in their study. I here add a musing based on this verse. Zephaniah 3:16-17, In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you...

I Corinthians 15:3-4 declares the gospel as the message about Jesus’ death on a Roman cross, His burial, followed by His resurrection from His tomb, thus defeating both death and the grave. The Gospel is about Jesus! It is not about church membership or attendance, giving, loving, social awareness, separation from the world or any other... Continue Reading →
I Peter 4:1 is a rich verse of truths for contemplation and strength... Therefore – based on the previous verses... I Peter 3:18, For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit Also I Peter 2:21,...

It was that phrase quoted in Romans 1:17 that sent Martin Luther into a spin and to a new life in Jesus, which... Continue Reading →
God knows all – ALL! Everything! All in every dungeon, all in every closet, all in every back room, all of everywhere all at the same time and ALL that goes on between my two ears! ALL! Psalm 139:7-10, Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I... Continue Reading →
A significant step in Jesus' teaching the twelve disciples was in an event just prior to His being shown in His glory and in the presence of Moses and Elijah on the mount. The event was a further unveiling of just who He was, what was coming (death and resurrection), and His call on mankind. Luke... Continue Reading →
Mark 4:38, But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. Don’t tell me that “My Pillow” by Mike doesn’t work! Even a violent storm pitching the boat side-to-side and up and down and dumping water into the boat didn’t disrupt the sleep of Jesus! What? The verses before this statement paint a picture of a...

In the men’s Sunday School class today [July 31, 2022], we considered the story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 which is recorded in all four gospels. While a well-known story, as with all of Scripture, every time one ponders on it, it proves informative and nourishing. First, the twelve had just returned from doing ministry in...
