The Most Convenient Time Is Now
And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, "When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter."

And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests …
Jesus the Lamb Identified
John 1:29-34 It is likely that a lamb or lambs were slain to cover Adam and Eve in Genesis 3. It was a ram, caught in a thicket, by his horns that was sacrificed in the stead of Isaac in Genesis 22:13. It was a lamb that was killed on the first Passover and the …
John 1:1-5, 11-14
A few months ago I began a series going, at times verse by verse, or paragraph by paragraph, through the Gospel of John.

The Calling of a Prophet
Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Then said I, "Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak: for I am a …
Praying for Knowledge
Colossians 1:9 I. THERE IS A DESTRUCTION FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.“ Hosea 4:6 (KJV). …
Praying, Always for You
Colossians 1:1-8 I. WE ARE SAINTS BY POSITION (vv. 1-2). A. What we do does not make us a saint, nor does an edict by some religious authority figure make us one. B. We are placed in the position of saint by the pronouncement of God Himself. C. It is our justification. *1. Our sin …
Jesus Leaves the Temple
The following notes and thoughts were shared in July 2008. ”And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple:” Matthew 24:1 (KJV).

Study notes for Joel chapter 1
A PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING Joel 1:1-20 The question has been asked again and again; “Is cataclysmic weather, earthquakes, firestorms, and other acts of “nature” God’s judgment on wickedness?
