My times with the Lord in His Word
All Trials Have a Purpose

And it has … Continue reading All Trials Have a Purpose
I Gave Up Childish Ways

But Have Not Love
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, … Continue reading Beloved, Flee from Idolatry
God is Faithful, but We Must be Faithful
“Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able … Continue reading God is Faithful, but We Must be Faithful
And It is Irrefutable
“For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from … Continue reading And It is Irrefutable
