Such troubling times we live in now
Because to Christ much do not bow
But bow to men, they surely do
And to their idols stick like glue
They masquerade of righteousness
But to their sins they not address
They walk in sin, and not by faith,
Because their sins they not abate
They will not obey...
“Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life in Christ Jesus, To Timothy, my beloved son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
“I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I...
“And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of...
Proverbs 17:10,24 NIV
10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person
more than a hundred lashes a fool.
24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.
If you are a person of discernment, you are someone who is characterized as a person who is...
“What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is by faith; but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but as if it...
Life on earth has its ups and downs,
Sometimes smiles, and then sometimes frowns.
Ins and outs, and not whereabouts,
Finding truth, or give in to doubts.
Peace is found now by faith in Christ,
Who gave His life in sacrifice
To deliver us from slaves to sin,
As we obey Him from faith within.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me,
When You died at Calv’ry
On that cruel tree.
Crucified for my sins;
You paid what I owe,
So I’d be forgiven;
My God come to know.
All I have is Yours, Lord.
You gave all to me...
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled...
Now the primary context here is of the Judaizers who were trying to convince the Christians that they had to be more like Jews and that they had to add on to their faith some of the liturgical, ceremonial, and dietary laws and restrictions of the Old Covenant, including the requirement of the...
What do you believe?
What have you received?
Truth about our Savior?
Or lies which give flesh favor?
When we trust in Jesus
From our sins He frees us
Freedom from our bondage
So we give Him homage
Die now to sins daily
Turn away from flailing
Walking in obedience
Not in what is devious
All...
This was Moses speaking to the children of Israel. And he was letting them know that they, the people of God, must adhere to (obey) the commandments of the Lord that God gave to Moses to give to the people. They were to walk in the fear of the Lord in the keeping of his commandments, which means...
Searching, searching everywhere
High and low, without a care
Wandering hither, to and fro
Looking for what? What to know?
Time is wasting, that do tell
Heads are swimming, pride doth swell
Nothing finished, not complete
Flesh is winning, not defeat
What’s the purpose? Do you know?
What, for...
If we go back and we read verses 20-21, it helps with the context here:
I believe Jesus’ mother Mary supported him, but she was human, so it could be that she thought he was out of his mind, too, yet that doesn’t fit with what I understand of her relationship with Jesus. But we do know that...
Servant of the Lord;
For the gospel you’re set apart.
Promised through the prophets of old:
Jesus, Son of God.
Through Him, and for His name alone,
We receive His grace
To call people, Him to obey;
Coming from their faith.
Servant of the Lord,
For the gospel you’re set apart.
Promised through...
“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to keep your righteous rules.
I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me your rules.
I hold my...
“Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word!
Let my plea come before you;
deliver me according to your word.
My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are...
