The world we live in with all the conveniences, comforts, and wealth is not often viewed with slavery, or sin in mind. As a matter of fact most of the human race would just as soon forget the idea of sin and chalk it up to being an antiquated idea. An ancient superstition or fear …

Day Seventy Nine – Walking in The Spirit of God
I often see that my walk with God is not what it ought to be. Sometimes I am not so sure that I have ever really walked with God in the same way the apostle Paul, or even John Mark may have. I read the gospels, the New Testament, and even the Old Testament and …

Day Seventy Eight – Loved Not Their Lives Unto Death
We have heard it said, “I will love the Lord, even unto death”; Peter said something similar to that; even as the Lord told him “You will deny Me three times”. The Scripture reading this morning was in Acts 1 through chapter 13. There will be some concluding study in chapter 14. These events give …

A Time For The Church to Be The Church
This is a message concerning the frightening situation we find ourselves in. This virus is an instrument for good or for evil. For good in the sense of causing us to open our eyes, realized we have sinned against God and righteousness, and we are being given an opportunity to repent and turn back to …

There are many religious folk in the world. Many of them think they are seeing, even though they are blind. Our reading of the Scriptures has reached the seventy seventh day of the ninety.

Day Seventy Six – Jesus and The Scriptures
One of the things which is quite apparent to me as I read the gospels is that the Scriptures are important to the ministry, life, and will of the Father in the life of Jesus. We can see that in the 24th chapter of Luke. Our reading for today is Luke 19 through John 8. …
Day Seventy Five – Remember
There are many things we like to remember. Some things we would like to forget, but they keep lingering around in our minds of remembrance. Today's study will not take too long; I do, however pray it to be instructive, inspiring, and even correcting to a wayward life. Our reading of the Scripture today is …
Day Seventy Four – Servant Leadership
Our Scripture reading for today is Mark 9 through Luke 5. The study today continues the theme of service and serving others. As we look at the gospel it can be quite apparent that this gospel presents Jesus as the Son of God, yet a servant to all who will believe Him. In the era …
Day Seventy Three – Servant Shepherd
Today's Scripture reading is Matthew 24 through Mark 8. I will share with you some verses on Jesus as the Servant. Some thoughts to consider. You will note at the beginning of Mark's Gospel that it has no genealogy as does Matthew and Luke. Mark's message is basically showing us Jesus Christ as a Servant. …
Day Seventy Two – Discourse to Death
The Scripture reading for today is Matthew 11 through chapter 23. Every Sunday Christians gather in remembrance; not of His death, but His resurrection. We often fail to remember that Jesus was more than a martyr though. He was more than a man dying for a cause. He was the Man sent to fulfill all …
Day Seventy One – From the Old to The New
We have been seventy days in the Old Testament. We end in the Old Testament today finishing up Malachi, reading Malachi 2 through Matthew 10. In the OT we learn of God’s plan for the human race, their departure from Him – in sin and rebellion – and His grace and mercy extended to all …
Day Seventy – Worship The LORD Only
Some people will never listen to a “negative” comment. They always want the positive stuff. Let me ask this question; What good is a battery with only a positive pole? There is no battery with only a positive pole. They all; from automotive – cars and trucks – to batteries for electronic gadgets, fire …
Day Sixty Nine – Let Us Consider Our Ways
Do we really stop to consider the way we live our lives? Are we a society that is consumed with doing our own thing; out for self fulfillment? It seems that way at times. Whether we like to admit it or not there is evil in the world. The only thing is who determines what …
Day Sixty Eight – No Injustice With God
We hear many people speak of “Justice”, “Right” or “Rights”, and the world is filled with injustice, and unrighteousness; and none of us are completely innocent of either. We love seeing the hungry fed, the poor and/or homeless given shelter and even finding prosperity in their paths of life. Is it injustice that makes people …
Day Sixty Seven – Redemption and Healing through The Creator
Yesterday we looked at the very troubled marriage of Hosea and Gomer; and their marriage is a picture of Israel's broken fellowship with God. Today's reading is Hosea 12 through Amos 7. We find God doing the work of redemption, grace, healing, and restoration in Hosea. God says to Israel through the prophet Hosea, “I …
