As I read Mark 2 - 4 in my Bible reading today I read again the parables of Mark 4. The one I am sharing today is with Jesus's own explanation of it, so I will add no further commentary to it. "And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in …

He Still Touches the Unclean
"And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, 'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean'. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy …
No Government of Man Can Stop It
"So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch." Matthew 27:66 (KJB) Reading today in Matthew 27 and 28 you will find that Jesus is crucified by the powers that be, and a mob of angry people who hated Jesus, and the most powerful ruling human authorities on earth …
Are You the Christ, the Son of God?
The title is the question the high priest asked of Jesus as He was being tried for His "crimes" (Matthew 26:63). When Jesus opened His mouth it was acknowledging the words of the high priest with a loud "Yes!"... "Jesus saith unto him, 'Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see …
Jesus is Coming Again – Wake Up
"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as …
To Be Found
Have you ever been lost? Driving down a highway, and missing a turn is not the full meaning of being lost; you can simply turn around and go back. A few years ago when our children were still at home I had a thought while we were traveling and I missed the turn to get …
Heart and Mouth Disease
My reading for today was Matthew 14 - 15. The mouth is our own worst enemy at times. That is why it is very important to have a changed heart. Changed by the power of the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is the only place of change for good and positive power with God …
Dangers of False Doctrine
My Bible reading this morning was Matthew 13. Today I share with you one of my studies from June of 2008. This is a more lengthy read, but please take the time and do so. "Another parable spake He unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid …
Useless Talk
There is much, very much of it that goes on; that is useless talk, or idle words. We need to understand that words whether they are spoken or written are powerful, and useful when used correctly and rightly. Let us hear what Jesus says about the use of words... "A good man out of the …
The God-Man Among the People
In a time not so long ago when compared to eternity, in a land not so far away there was and is GOD. He desires to be among His people, and He sent His Son, born of a virgin, to live and to die for the sins of humanity. His name? You know it. It …
The Law, the Prophets, and Jesus
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, 'Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled'. Whosoever therefore shall break one of …
What Jesus Preached and Taught
What did Jesus preach? What did He teach? To find the answer to that you must read the Gospels. The first thing He preached is repentance. That is a word we evidently do not like to hear today; but a necessary for us, none the less. Hear the word from Matthew's Gospel... "From that time …
He Who Never Changes
In this world of constant change it is good, great, and marvelous to know, yea, even promised us, that GOD does not change. Here are the words from GOD to Malachi the prophet... "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6 (KJB) The words are …
The Sword and the Spirit
"Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened." Zechariah 11:17 "And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit …
A Shaking When the LORD Comes
My Bible reading for this morning was Haggai 1 through Zechariah 3. I share with you verses from Haggai, and the post of September 25, 2015. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry …
