October 17, 2018 - Many are they who would say, ”Oh, that I too might be blessed, that I might live a life of less trouble, a life of joy and not sorrow."
There is just such a life available to all who seek it, for as the Bible says, “Seek and you shall find.”
“Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!” (Psalm 119:1-3)
October 9, 2018 - One cannot turn on the television, or listen to the radio, or read the newspaper without seeing evidence of all the hate and turmoil in our world today. Everyday, without exception, I hear others saying; “Oh what is wrong with us, why is America in such turmoil.”
This is no secret except for the ignorance of the teachings of Gods Word for as we shall see within the next few lines of print, there are answers to our questions, solutions to the problems of society today, just as there have been for generations.
October 2, 2018 - What is wrong with this world one might ask, why are things in such turmoil, why do so many people seem to hate others who do not believe as they would like, why is there so little love among people today?
We find the answer to these questions in Gods Word, for as it says; “To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.” (Daniel 9:9-10)
As we witness the increasing turmoil and unrest in the world and in our country it is important that we know from whence our blessings and our protection comes. As we see the increasing amount of hatred and the decreasing amount of compassion for others among us we must know that as followers of the Most High that we have one who watches over and protects us from the ravages of this world.
September 18, 2018 - The Bible says; Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” (Psalm 1:1-2)
The one who is blessed by the Lord is removed from the world and its wickedness; from the wicked, the sinners and the scoffers, and he is hated by the world even more now that he is lifted away from the control of the world and into the control of the Lord.
September 12, 2018 - The Thirty Fourth Psalm is a passage of scripture that tells all who desire to know the living God that we are to taste and see that the Lord is good.
We are to seek his face and know that he is our refuge and our shield in times of trouble.
One particular verse in this book of the Psalm is especially dear to me for it describes my own salvation as the Lord lifted me from my place of darkness and placed me into the light of Christ Jesus.
September 4, 2018 - Born-again, this is the term Jesus used when he was speaking to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews as he said; “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” (John 3:5)
August 28, 2018 - Today we have many religions which proclaim their god to be the god, the one we must worship if we are to prosper. Others say there is no god, that we ourselves are god and that whatever we desire should be ours to have and to hold.
And yet, for those of us who follow the Living God, the God of heaven, we see in our Bibles a different story than the ones told by those other than Christians.
August 21, 2018 - America is a land of good and evil, of positive and negative, a land of masses of people, some living for the Lord and some living for the devil.
And so it has been since the initial sin of man, the sin of Adam and Eve shortly after God created the earth and all its inhabitants.
August 13, 2018 - In his first letter Peter writes to those troubled Christians who have been dispersed by persecution because of their faith in Christ Jesus.
As we see an increasing tide of persecutions befalling Christians today we are given need of Peter’s words as well as did those of old.
Peter reminds us all of the joys and benefits of being born again to the blessed hope of eternal life with Christ.
