"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He …

Justification
"We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the …
God So Loved the World That He Gave
"Nicodemus answered and said unto Him, 'How can these things be?' Jesus answered and said unto him, 'Art thou a master of Israel, and know not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 'We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness. If I have told …
I Will Dwell Among Them
"And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God." Exodus 29:45-46 (KJB) I just love the places where …
John 1:9-14
"That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons …
Stand Up for Jesus to Live
Reading this morning from Mark 8 - 9 I marked the following verses... And when He had called the people unto Him with His disciples also, He said unto them, 'Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; …
He Still Touches the Unclean
"And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, 'If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean'. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, 'I will; be thou clean.' And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy …
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 …
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 …
He Who Never Changes
In this world of constant change it is good, great, and marvelous to know, yea, even promised us, that GOD does not change. Here are the words from GOD to Malachi the prophet... "For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6 (KJB) The words are …
Pray Anyway
We have been told, and it has been feared by many that we cannot pray in certain places: public schools, government offices, even some restaurants; maybe some other places too. Daniel the prophet was told he could not pray, and he prayed anyway, just as he had done before the "law" was changed. Hear the …
The Student
"The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, even the prophecy: the man spake unto Ithiel, even unto Ithiel and Ucal, surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? Who …
Delight to do God’s Will
As a Christian I have the greatest pleasure to know the God and King of the Universe; as do all who know Him as their Savior and Lord. We are not perfect or sinless; but we know that we are forgiven, and as verse eight of the Psalm says, "I delight to do Thy will...". …
All Creation Teaches
The friends of Job had made it sound as though only the ungodly, unrighteous, and wicked on the earth suffer; yet, here was Job, a righteous man suffering in the most horrendous way. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar were turned into accusers; not the type of friends a suffering man needs to hear from. After the …
When Evil Comes
"And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD." 2 Chronicles 12:14 (KJB) Rehoboam is the one, the king, of whom the text speaks. He was Solomon's son, David's grandson; and he had no heart for God. O, he humbled himself when he realized he was about to lose it …
