    Hope Won’t Let You Down

    We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. Romans 5:3 NLT Even though the promise of the gospel is familiar, it’s still underrated. Jesus freely gives us peace with God so that we can enjoy the peace of God. It’s so beautifully...

    The Size of Your God

    He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. Romans 4:20-21 NKJV Paul draws on Abraham’s example of faith to inspire us when doubts arise. Believing...

    Anchored to Truth

    For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: "That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged." Romans 3:3-4 NKJV We live in a time...

    Worth The Cost

    eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; Romans 2:7 NKJV Relationships blindside us at times. A good one goes bad, or a hard one remains fruitless. It’s normal, and sometimes necessary, to count the cost and decide if you should...

    Test-Ready

    "Be strong and courageous! Don't be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria or his mighty army, for there is a power far greater on our side! 2 Chronicles 32:7 NLT Hezekiah, one of Judah’s few good kings, cleaned up the temple, both literally and spiritually, and made God the...

    Precious Death?

    The death of his faithful ones is valuable in the LORD's sight. Psalm 116:15 CSB Psalm 116:15 is often quoted at funeral services, perhaps because it’s usually interpreted to mean that God is glad that His saints are coming home to Him. After all, didn’t Paul say to live is Christ, to die is...

    Connecting For Christ

    Now when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard; but Paul was permitted to dwell by himself with the soldier who guarded him. ... Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God...

    You Are Invincible…

    And he said, Do not be frightened, Paul! It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you all those who are sailing with you. Acts 27:24 AMPC The three dots following today’s title are “suspension points.” They indicate a thought that trails off. “You are...

    God > Idols (It’s Not Even Close)

    Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness. Psalm 115:1 NLT Contemporary Christian music fans of a certain age might recognize today’s scripture as the inspiration for a song by the Imperials. The 1985 recording drew its refrain...

    Of Course God Can

    "Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead? Acts 26:8 NKJV Our perspective of God affects everything. If we see Him as distant, uninterested, and weak, why even pretend to worship Him? But if we view God as scripture does—the all-powerful, all-knowing, lavishly loving...

    Polar Opposites

    Who [is] like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, Who humbleth [himself] to behold [the things that are] in heaven, and in the earth! He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, [and] lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; That he may set [him] with princes, [even] with the princes of his...

    Only What God Says

    The king of Israel replied to Jehoshaphat, "There is one more man who could consult the LORD for us, but I hate him. He never prophesies anything but trouble for me! His name is Micaiah son of Imlah." Jehoshaphat replied, "That's not the way a king should talk! Let's hear what he has to say." 2...

    The Pathway to Wisdom

    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his instructions have good insight. His praise endures forever. Psalm 111:10 CSB Today’s scripture will be familiar to many. These words are repeated verbatim in Proverbs 9:10, and similar statements occur throughout the Bible’s...

    Oops…

    Then Paul said to him, "God will strike you, [you] whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?" Acts 23:3 NKJV Ever spoken too quickly, too loudly, too angrily? Apart from Jesus, everyone has—even as great a man as the...

    4-D Chess

    So the king paid no attention to the people. This turn of events was the will of God, for it fulfilled the LORD's message to Jeroboam son of Nebat through the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh. 2 Chronicles 10:15 NLT The act of thinking several steps ahead of an adversary, of considering every...

    God’s Name Helps You

    But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name's sake; Because Your mercy [is] good, deliver me. Psalm 109:21 NKJV Your literal name may be Nick, Brad, Guy, or Jerome. But your figurative name is the reputation by which people know you. This “name,” if you’ve lived wisely, might be Honest...

    Resistance is Futile

    And when he would not yield to [our] persuading, we stopped [urging and imploring him], saying, The Lord’s will be done! Acts 21:14 AMPC Kings or military leaders of history may have uttered the words “resistance is futile,” but today the phrase belongs to the Borg, a frightful enemy from the...

    God Leads To Victory

    But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia." Psalm 108:9 NLT In the New Living Translation of the Bible, 2 Samuel 8 is headlined “David’s Military Victories.” The eleventh and twelfth verses of this chapter indicate that...

    If Possible

    For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus to avoid spending time in the province of Asia, because he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, for the day of Pentecost. Acts 20:16 CSB Exactly where human decision-making and God’s sovereignty intersect is a topic far beyond the scope of this...
