My Bible reading for this day was Mark 7. When you read the whole chapter you will see the teaching Jesus gives us started over accusations from the religious elite of His day over eating with unwashed hands according to their traditions.

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 …
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 …
We will not be thinking of the pump which pumps the blood through the human body, through its many miles of arteries and veins. We are speaking of the centrality of the human being, of Adam kind. Hear the word of the LORD concerning the heart of man [generic]. "The heart is deceitful above all …
Most of us can identify hate and hatred. There are people however who try to convince us that they are really loving, yet they have no fruits of love. These are the ones the wise man has written a few words of in Proverbs... "He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit …
The words we speak can be very acidic, eating away at the heart and soul of those we speak so vile of words to. Someone has said, "The words we speak are like a fired weapon, once launched, it cannot be recalled." The Christian's mouth should be different from the mouths of those who do …

Do you enjoy peace and quiet? Do you enjoy alone time? How about peace and quiet that only God can give? Today's lesson is about a king who had quiet in his kingdom; and I hope to share with you how you can have peace and quiet with God and others. "And the fear of …
Reading today from 2 Kings 14 - 16... "And King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof. And Urijah the priest …
Join me in reading 2 Kings 9 - 10... "Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which He spake by His servant Elijah." 2 Kings 10:10 (KJB) These words spoken by …
"Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice, and ye shall serve Him, and cleave unto Him." Deuteronomy 13:4 (KJB) There are many today who will not hear of the "Fear of God". When you fear God there is nothing else to fear because …
These post are about GOD; His love, and yes His hate. Maybe it would be nicer to say, His wrath. His wrath is what He pours out on what He hates. For His children He hates any sin that is in us. He hates my sin. He hates your sin. He is working in me …
