No Condemnation

Created 5/20/2009 Sadly, from time to time I do hear someone tell me of how someone implied or directly told them they were not a good enough Christian because of past sins that were committed. Then this dear Christian one then struggles with the label and even starts...

Fear

Created 1/28/2009 When I think of fear I sometimes think of fear of the dark, snakes, or spiders. Yet the Bible talks of another type of fear that we would be wise to behold and act accordingly.  Genesis 20:11a states “And Abraham said, Because I thougtht,...

Settling for Second Best

Created 3/3/2009 Why do we settle for second best, when we can have God’s best in our lives?  In Genesis we see a vivid picture of this age old phenomenon played out. Genesis 19:17 records God’s wishes for Lot and his family: “neither stay thou in...

Little Faith

Created 2/12/2009 I used to ask the Lord to give me a lot of faith, big faith, just a good measure of the stuff.  Then I read Matther 17:20 where Jesus states “Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye...

What Does Your Faith Look Like?

Created 3/10/2009 James 2:18 reads “Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.” Remember, people can’t see your faith only, but they can see the result of...

Fear and Belief

Created 3/25/2009 When Christ was talking to the ruler of the synagogue; the man that He was about to raise his 12 year old daughter up, He said “Be not afraid, only believe.”  I love how these few words show a sharp contrast between faith (believing) and...

Just a Touch

Created 4/14/2009 Remember the lady that had an issue of blood? Who touched the garment of Jesus and was made whole? Her story is in Matthew 9. Touching also happened in Mark 3:10 “For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as...

Faith

Created 7/28/2009 Faith is more than the element by which you are saved (Ephesians 2:8). In Hebrews 11; known as the Hall of Faith, we see that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (v1). Then the chapter starts...

Help Thou Mine Unbelief

Created 8/10/2009 Have you come to a  place in your life that you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior? (I sincerely hope so.) Then life continues and you come to a place where you know God wants to do something but you do not know what and you...

Jesus the Propitiation

Created 5/2/2009 Jesus brought to us the good will of the Father, by paying our sin debt.     I John 4:10 puts it this way “Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” Jesus is the one...
