The Arrogant and the Humble
"Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to His disciples, saying, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay …
God, Marriage, and the Home
"The Pharisees also came unto Him, tempting Him, and saying unto Him, 'Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?' And He answered and said unto them, 'Have ye not read, that He which made at the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this cause shall …
The Undivided Kingdom
"Then was brought unto Him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and He healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, 'Is not this the son of David?' But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, 'This fellow doth not cast …
The Disciple Is Not Above The Master
"And ye shall be hated of all for My name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, 'Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be …
The Blessed Happy
"And He opened His mouth, and taught them, saying, 'Blessed the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

The Temptation
"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred. And when the tempter came to Him, he said, 'If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.' …
Learning to Fear the LORD God
"And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel. And Moses commanded them, saying, 'At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast …
Recognizing the True Prophet
"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, 'Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;' thou shalt not hearken …
What the LORD Requires of Us
“And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, to keep the commandments of the LORD, and His statutes, …
Subdued Before the LORD
The following is GOD'S promise to the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half tribe of Manasseh. They had chosen to stay on the east side of Jordan, but made the promise that they would cross Jordan and fight for the land alongside their brethren. This is both a promise for their keeping their oath; …
A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to …
Proof of Authority
"And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. And it came …
The Offering of the Scapegoat
"And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died; and the LORD said unto Moses, 'Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the …
Leprosy, Sin, and the Law
"This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, and for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy." Leviticus 14:54-57 (KJB) …
