Bible Studies
For the past year the Lord has been having me write chronological studies of books of the New Testament. And I have been keeping those in collections on my computer by books of the Bible. My husband has encouraged me to create a new category and subcategories for those who might want to read these particular studies by book. Each one is from my personal devotions and they may not cover every verse or every chapter, and they might be in reverse order by chapter since that is the order in which they were posted, i.e. the last will appear first. This is a work in progress, so this may take me a while to recategorize and retag each post. I hope and pray this is beneficial to you.
The Wicked vs The Righteous
Psalm 7:14-16 BSB (Berean Standard Bible) “14Behold, the wicked man travails with evil;he conceives trouble and births falsehood.15He has dug a hole and hollowed it out;he has fallen into a pit of his own making.16His trouble recoils on himself,and his violence falls on his own head.” The Picture The picture the Lord is giving me … Continue reading The Wicked vs The Righteous

Was Paul a Hypocrite?
This was originally published on October 31, 2020, but since this is a subject which keeps resurfacing, I believe I am to repost it today: I hear a lot of people quote Paul from Romans 7, using him as an example of a life of struggling (regularly giving in) to sin. Usually this is in … Continue reading Was Paul a Hypocrite?

Devoid of The Spirit
I am reading in Jude 1:3-23 about certain men who have crept in among us, largely unnoticed and not recognized for who they truly are, and for what they are really about. For they pretend to be of God, and to be following Jesus Christ with their lives, but in truth they are the ungodly, … Continue reading Devoid of The Spirit

He had a sad composure, for tears were in his eyes.And as I now … Continue reading Tears Were in His Eyes
