    His Benefits

    What is the Christian life all about? What does it mean to believe in Jesus Christ? Is it a mere “escape clause” written into a contract between two parties? Is it merely a free ride to heaven on a “gravy train”? Is it just a religion and religious beliefs and practices, also including religious...

    Walk in Victory

    We are saved from our sins, and given eternal life with God, not just so we can escape hell and have the promise of heaven as our eternal home. When we believe in Jesus Christ to be Lord and Savior of our lives, our new lives in Christ Jesus have only begun. He has so much he wants to do in and...

    A Process

    There are those who teach that once you are saved, indicating that salvation is a single, one-time experience, that you are sinless from that point forward, i.e. that you cannot commit a single sin and still be a Christian. Some will say that you lose your salvation every time that you sin and...

    Walk in Love

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Ephesians 5 (Select vv. ESV). Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. vv. 1-2 The goal of our salvation from sin is that we might be Christ-like...

    My Spirit Rejoices!

    If you were to write a psalm of thanksgiving and praise to your Lord for the great things he has done for you, in you, and through you, what would it say? What first comes to mind? How has that impacted your life? The Lord Jesus led me to read Luke 1 (Select vv. ESV). And Mary said, “My soul...

    Love and Grace

    Have you sinned against God? We all have! Did you feel shame and guilt for what you did? Been there. Done that, too! If you didn’t, that’s a problem. Did you wish for a way out from under your yoke of slavery to sin? I did, and I hope you did, too, or that you do. Did someone share with you the...

    Giving Up?

    Do you ever feel that you have sinned so badly that there is no hope for you? That you can never be forgiven? Or, that you will never gain victory over your sin? And, so you give up? And, you just give in to the sin? Well, there is hope for you! Jesus Christ, God the Son, died on a cross, not...

    Unless They Hear

    Romans 10:8-13 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For...

    When the Disciples Were Saved By Faith in Jesus Christ?

    Hebrews 11:1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. May the Lord help us to see by His words when the born again of the Spirit was to happen for His disciples. John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say...

    Hard Questions on Baptism With the Holy Spirit

    Luke 11:9-13 in context was Jesus talking about salvation by seeking the truth and knocking at the door Whom is Jesus. Indeed, there is a warning hidden in there that if any one testify that they had not received the Holy Spirit the first time; it would make the Father look evil if they had to...

    A God Void

    When we are born into this world, we are born with sin natures. We all fall short of attaining God’s divine approval, in our own flesh, because we have all sinned against God (Rom. 3:23). Thus, there is a God void in our lives. Although Adam and Eve, when first created by God, were in perfect...

    Because of What He's Done

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Hebrews 2 (Select vv. ESV). Jesus Christ, the Son of God (and God), and creator of the world, left his throne in heaven, came to earth, took on human flesh, and suffered like we suffer. He was also tempted in like manner as we are tempted, yet without sin. He...

    Are You Crucified?

    The Lord Jesus led me to read John 1 (Select vv. NASB). Jesus Christ, the Son of God (and God) is the Word of which this passage speaks. This fact will become clear as we near the end of this scripture. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in...

    Carried Away?

    The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 3 (Select vv. NASB). When we, as believers in Jesus Christ, trust in Him to be Lord and Savior of our lives, we are delivered both from slavery to sin and the punishment of sin, which is spiritual death, which is eternity without God in the fires of hell...

    Persuasive Arguments

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Colossians 2 (vv. 1-7 NASB). We have been instructed in scripture to expect to be opposed, if we are truly following Jesus Christ with our lives. But, it isn’t just us who are being opposed, but it is the gospel of our salvation which is coming under fire, and from...

    If You Have

    The Lord Jesus led me to read Colossians 3 (vv. 1-4 NASB) Therefore, if you have been raised up with Christ… That word “if” is a big word, although it often goes unnoticed. When we see this word “if” show up in scripture, we should take notice, for it implies uncertainty, the unknown, or that...

    One with God

    The Lord Jesus led me to read John 17 (vv. 20-26 NIV). Continuing with Jesus’ prayer for those who were already his, by faith, and for those who would yet come to know him as their Lord and Savior… “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their...

    Honor and Praise

    Saturday, October 28, 2017, 7:41 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Jesus, I am Resting, Resting.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 Peter 1 (Quoting select vv. NASB). Chosen by God (vv. 1-2) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who reside as aliens, scattered...
