It has been said that the best way to identify a counterfeit is to really know the real thing. It has been told to me by one who has experience as a teller that banks train them to get the feel for the real paper money, and when a counterfeit passes through their fingers it … More Day Eighty Eight – Being A Discerning Christian
When I began doing this 90 days of reading through the Bible my thinking on these posts were not to write commentaries on what I had read, but that is probably what they are. They are more my thoughts on what I have read, and certainly not verbally inspired as the Scriptures are. I had … More Day Eighty Seven – The Best High Priest
The Scheduled reading today is 1 Timothy 4 through Hebrews 2; I read 2 Timothy 1 through Hebrews 5. A wonderful reading. I read of Timothy faithful pastor at Ephesus, and Titus a faithful Christian pastor on the Isle of Crete (1:5), and his ministry to the people. Paul’s call to Titus for the appointing … More Day Eighty Six – The Brethren and The Priesthood
The scheduled reading for today is Colossians 3 through 1 Timothy 3. Today’s study is dealing with First and Second Thessalonians. Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians was one about living in this world until Jesus comes again. In the Thessalonian letters he does address the second coming of Christ, even the rapture of the church; … More Day Eighty Five – Until Jesus Comes Again
Our scheduled Scripture reading for today is Galatians 6 through Colossians 2. It could be said probably, that, everybody likes a blessing. Those who do not believe in God, however, may not call it “Blessing”. What would you have to be thankful for? Who would you thank? I do not have the answer. We will … More Day Eighty Four – Spiritual Blessings
There have been some wonderful photo shots of lightening. There is a whole lot of power in each one of those bolts of light. The one’s who know those things could tell you how much, but I am coming up without any trivia on that except to know there is so much power that just … More Day Eighty Three – The Power of the Cross
Yesterday’s post was about “Sin in the Church”. Looking in First Corinthians at the Corinthian church was not much different than looking into the world; maybe even worse. The apostle Paul confronted a situation which grieved his heart. These were his spiritual children, and they were in the midst of tolerating the evil in their … More Day Eighty Two – On Forgiving Others
There is probably nothing more sure and clear than the title of this post, “Dealing With Sin in the Church”. To ask, “Is there sin in our churches?” is a very unnecessary question. Where there is a church without sin; it is of their own confession; and not the truth. Besides where there is people … More Day Eighty One – Dealing With Sin In The Church
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 … More Day Eighty – Shipwreck, Sin, and Slavery
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 … More Day Seventy Nine – Walking in The Spirit of God
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 … More Day Seventy Eight – Loved Not Their Lives Unto Death
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 … More A Time For The Church to Be The Church
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. The reading today is John 9 through 21, and what wonderful words I read this morning. It was mostly the words … More Day Seventy Seven – Jesus And The Man Born Blind
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. … More Day Seventy Six – Jesus and The Scriptures
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 … More Day Seventy Four – Servant Leadership
