Merry Christmas to all. The Lord Jesus Christ came the first time to live among us, for the purpose of purchasing our salvation by His death on the cross, His burial, and then rising from the grave. He is alive and coming again. When? Many want to know. We do not know when; just that …

John 1:9-14
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons …
When We Speak With GOD and Miracles Happen
Let me be clear about something before we get too far into this fairly lengthy study. I do not see miracles in everything that happens. I do not believe the birth of a baby is a miracle. The conception, maybe, but not the birth. One exception to that would be the birth of Jesus Christ; …
When Troubled by Life’s Situations; Go to the LORD
Habakkuk did. "Art Thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? We shall not die.

Marriage with the Nations
What does the Bible say about the child of God marrying the unrepentant sinner in the world? This was a problem which became evident with Ezra as he looked at the many leaders when they returned to Jerusalem. How would or how should the Christian today handle such things? Hear Ezra's heart: "O LORD God …

Old, Outdated, Antiquated???
Reading chapters 17 - 19 of 2 Kings today... "For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses." 2 Kings 18:6 (KJB) Old, outdated, and antiquated are words we might hear from some older people about the Bible. We would probably hear it …
