They Suppress the Truth
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly … Continue reading They Suppress the Truth
Are We Preparing our Minds for Action?

That We Might Obey His Commandments
I am reading in Psalms 105 which teaches me, again, that all God’s promises have conditions. And this is why it is critical that we read of his promises in their full context to where we can see the conditions for those promises to be fulfilled. For, yes, God did make a covenant with Abraham … Continue reading That We Might Obey His Commandments

Are you presently struggling with sin? What I mean is, not are you are being tempted, but are you giving in to the flesh thinking that sin or Satan has power over you and that you don't have the ability to say "NO!" to sin? In the book of Romans, chapter 7, Paul described for … Continue reading Jesus, Rescue Me
No Tears on Outside
He’s hurting, he’s crying,No tears on outside.He’s injured, he’s stirring,All now kept inside. He’s failing for wordsTo say all that he feels.He cannot express,Cannot make his appeals. His outside is inside,Trapped now in his skin,Knows not where to turn,And his faith’s wearing thin. He doesn’t know who to trust.Who really cares?And so he says nothing,In … Continue reading No Tears on Outside
Examining God’s Holy Temple
“I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, ‘Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for months. And I will appoint … Continue reading Examining God’s Holy Temple
