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 …

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 …
The Question of David’s Son
The Pharisees claimed to believe the word of God. They had attached many traditions to their beliefs and practices; and probably due to this had become blind to who Jesus was and is. Jesus asks the Pharisees a question they cannot answer. In the following verses there is only one answer you can reach as …
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; …
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 …
