Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?” Mark 12:24 Mistakes are always costly. In business, errors are eventually revealed, and though unintentional, usually result in money coming out of my pocket. Concerning eternal matters the consequences for being wrong are severe. We all share the same problem. “There is a way that seems … Continue reading Greatly Mistaken
Often, we get a better understanding of what something is, by what it is not. Unfaithfulness is one of those words. There is nothing sadder than the harm that comes to a relationship after one of the parties has been unreliable, untrustworthy, disloyal and untrue. No matter how great the love was, there is an end. I Know that God initiated our relationship and I … Continue reading Faithful To The End
“For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I Myself will search for My sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after My sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness.” Ezekiel 34:11-12 Years ago, I was in … Continue reading Follow the Good Shepherd
We gaze into the mirror every morning counting on it to show us the good and the bad. The reflection might reveal unpleasant wrinkles and aging, yet this doesn’t keep us from our next appointment with the mirror. God’s commandments are like a mirror. They simply reveal the truth that we are sinners. No more, no less. God wants us to see ourselves as He … Continue reading God’s Mirror
As we approach Christmas, once again I ponder the coming of the Son of God. The day of His visitation was foretold. In eternity He was not bound by any means. At the right time, He entered a world that would now limit Him. When He created this world, He knew one day He would come to die for His people. These were not good … Continue reading Through His Poverty
As I sat thinking today, I know that I have nothing to boast of… For what do I have that I have not been given? The life that I live and the path that I walk Has been laid out before me by You, the Most High. So how can I feel pride or think that I am above any man, For my lot could … Continue reading Who Am I That You Would Bring Me This Far
I know that my crimes are against the Most High God, And my offenses are well known to Him. “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, But all things are naked and open, To the eyes of Him To whom we must give account.” And should I die tonight, I know that His justice should surely await me. The axe is laid at … Continue reading My Crimes Against the Most High God
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 2 Corinthians 4:17 You woke up thinking it might be over today. Your mind is free for the moment, but you fear those dreadful thoughts may come back. It’s your private battle and you can’t talk to anyone about it. They wouldn’t understand. Some days are better, … Continue reading Weak But Strong
The day of His visitation was foretold. In eternity He was not bound by any means. At the right time, the Son of God entered a world that would now limit Him. When He created this world, He knew one day He would come to die for His people. These were not good or righteous people. Rather, they were His enemies, sinful and ungodly. He … Continue reading Through His Poverty
And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 There are a blessed people ahead that have passed through the narrow gate … Continue reading Our Guarantee
