Time is ticking, ticking by
Words not answered, don’t deny
Circumstances now abate
Please reply, and don’t be late
Whirlwind romance, not for good
Someone sees what’s under hood
You can’t hide from everyone
Even though you’ll hide from some
Things once hidden will reveal
Even though you make...
This is a very serious topic here. Do not delete this again.
In another thread, I saw several posters who did not seem to grasp the seriousness of adultery, especially with marrying someone else after a divorce. Even as early on as Matthew 5:32, the New Testament clearly says that anyone...
In another thread (the one about American women), I saw several posters that didn't sound like they knew what they were talking about. Especially concerning the fact that anyone who gets divorced and marries someone else commits adultery. And the bible says it very clearly even as early on as...

We read in 2 Samuel 11 a story about King David, who was regarded as a man after God’s own heart. One day David lusted after a woman named Bathsheba. From his roof he saw her bathing, and so he inquired about her. He found out who she was, and that she was married to Uriah, one of his soldiers...
He Comforts Us
2 Corinthians 1:3-7 NIV
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we...
For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual...
As followers of Jesus Christ, to love or to not love others is not an option that is on the table. We are obligated to love others with God’s love, because he, who is love, lives within us, and because he, who is love, loved us enough to die for us so that we might be forgiven our sins and have...
Of Such a Kind
It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father’s wife. You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed...
We read in John 10 about false shepherds of the people who have entered the church, but not through Jesus Christ. They have snuck into the church stealthily and secretively by another way other than the true way, i.e. they have not entered by way of the cross of Christ, but by way of the flesh...
For those of us who live in the USA, or in the world, as a whole, are we aware of the spiritual and moral decline across our nation, or across the globe? Have we noticed the chaos, the rebellion, and the utter moral decay and depravity that is now being accepted as normal in our society, and...
Do you ever feel like what you have done is so bad that you could never be forgiven? Are you afraid to tell the truth for fear you will be rejected? Or, out of fear of other consequences? Do you remain in sinful addiction because you have given up hope of ever changing?
The Lord Jesus led me to...

Believers in Jesus Christ: Is God always pleased with us, no matter what we do? Now that we have been saved, by God’s grace, through faith in Jesus Christ, when God looks at us, can he see when we sin against him? Or, does he only see Jesus?
Can we believe in Jesus Christ, and be in genuine...
The Lord Jesus led me to read Matthew 11 (Select vv. NIV).

who will prepare your way before you.’” V. 10b

Some of you may have wondered why I do what I do, day in and day out, i.e. why I write these devotions, and why I talk so much about walking in the Spirit and not walking according the flesh. You may have wondered, too, why I am so passionate and so persistent in getting out the true message of...
