    To Those Who Obey Him

    I am reading in Acts 5, beginning with verse 12, some of which I will summarize, and some of which I will quote in the NASB1995. At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were taking place among the people. Multitudes of men and women were constantly added to the number of the...

    Take Note of Their Threats

    “‘Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples devise futile things? The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.’ “For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed...

    They Persecute Me Without Cause

    “Princes persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your words. I rejoice at Your word, As one who finds great spoil. I hate and despise falsehood, But I love Your law. Seven times a day I praise You, Because of Your righteous ordinances. Those who love Your law have great peace...

    My Hiding Place

    “I hate those who are double-minded, But I love Your law. You are my hiding place and my shield; I wait for Your word. Depart from me, evildoers, That I may observe the commandments of my God. Sustain me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope. Uphold me...

    Lies Spread Against You

    “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in...

    Plots Against The Righteous

    “The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, For He sees his day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slay those who are upright in conduct. Their sword will enter their...

    Keep Speaking The Truth

    “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not...

    I Cried to My God for Help

    “’I love You, O Lord, my strength.’ The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. The cords of death...

    Hear The People Cry

    Time is ticking, ticking by Hear the people, hear them cry Murderers plenty at their gates Death of people now their fate Death their witness to their lives What all they had to survive Cruel people led by hate Putting them to death, to date Wars a plenty, racketeers At the people they do...

    Overcoming Evil with Good

    “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone...

    You Will Revive Me

    “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. The Lord will accomplish what concerns me; Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.” (Psalm...

    To All Who Obey Christ

    “Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation.” (Hebrews 5:8-9 NASB1995) This is speaking of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, the second person of our...

    Even Though Tested By Fire

    “In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the...

    Only to Thrust Them Down

    “How long will you assail a man, That you may murder him, all of you, Like a leaning wall, like a tottering fence? They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.” (Psalms 62:3-4 NASB’95)...

    The Lord is My Strength

    “Each evening they come back, howling like dogs and prowling about the city. There they are, bellowing with their mouths with swords in their lips— for “Who,” they think, “will hear us?” “But you, O Lord, laugh at them; you hold all the nations in derision. O my Strength, I...

    Save Your Servant

    “Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day. Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up...

    Are We Living Worthy of Christ?

    “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person's enemies will be those of his own household...

    Have No Fear of Them

    “So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him...

    For His Name's Sake

    This Was Then I am reading in Matthew 10. Jesus was sending his twelve disciples out to “the lost sheep of the house of Israel,” i.e. to those physical descendants of Abraham (and Sarah) who had not yet believed in Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah), the promised seed of Abraham, who was to...
