This morning, the Lord Jesus reminded me of a writing he gave me in January of this year, so I went back and read it (1). It is called “Resting in Him,” and it is written mostly from personal experience, although it is also written from the knowledge of what others have shared with me … Continue reading For the Gospel’s Progress

Chap 8: Resting in Him
This morning, before I sat down to write today's devotional blog post, I happened to see that someone had read this older post yesterday, and I was drawn to read it again. Thus, I felt led to repost it, only this time on "Run With It." It is powerful! And, it actually is very fitting … Continue reading Chap 8: Resting in Him
Flesh or Spirit?
Persuasive Words or Spirit Power? And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness and in fear and in … Continue reading Flesh or Spirit?
Treasures in Heaven
Matthew 6:19-21 NASB “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

The book of Romans was not originally written as a book, nor did it originally have chapter and verse divisions. It was written as a letter from Paul to the church (the believers in Jesus) in Rome. And, it was intended to be read in whole, not in segments, I would suspect. So, no matter … Continue reading Freedom in Christ

I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to … Continue reading Saved to Maturity

Arise from The Dead
Ephesians 5:1-2 NASB Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. Walk in Love Whenever we see the word “therefore,” we have to look back to see what … Continue reading Arise from The Dead
How Do We Love?
1 John 4:1-6 NASB Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and … Continue reading How Do We Love?
