“Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the...
“But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received...
Darkness looming, faces glooming,
Many people lies assuming.
Turning tables with their fables,
Many liars they enable.
Many people follow idols,
For their sins, they are not idle.
Words are spoken, they not bridle,
But for them, they are recital.
Liars plenty fool the people
Who they want to...
“Woe to the sinful nation,
a people whose guilt is great,
a brood of evildoers,
children given to corruption!
They have forsaken the Lord;
they have spurned the Holy One of Israel
and turned their backs on him.”
“Wash and make yourselves clean.
Take your evil deeds out of my...
“Then they answered Joshua, ‘Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses. Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may...

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
Hear the Spirit calling.
He’ll keep you from falling.
Tenderly He’s calling,
“Come and follow Him.”
Walk with Jesus daily.
Don’t give in to lazy.
Folks may call you crazy.
Fellowship with Him.
Follow where He leads you...
“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...
“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to...
Once upon a time in fairytale land,
Oh, let’s back that up..
Now upon this time in fairytale land,
Many are convinced that life on earth is grand.
Smartphones now in tow, and internet galore,
All that entertains, abundances and more.
All about what’s fun, let’s laugh ‘til day goes by,
Telling...
“Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit’— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If...
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand,
Repent of your sins, and your sins ban.
Surrender your lives to Christ today,
Believe in His Word, His Word obey.
Delight in His Word, rejoice in truth,
Forsake all your sins which are uncouth.
Submit to God’s rule now in your hearts,
And not from His Word may...
Are you paying attention to what’s all around?
To the climate, the people, and even the clowns?
Are you listening for words that not even yet said?
Are you waiting for God, or now going ahead?
Does it matter to you if the truth is not told?
Is the truth what you want or to lies do you hold?
Is...
Jesus Christ is God, the second person of our triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And he was with God from the beginning, and he is our creator God, the giver of life – both physical life and eternal life in him (via God-persuaded faith in the Lord Jesus). But he left his throne in...
Now God knows who all of us are, because he created us. But this is speaking of knowing more in an intimate relationship sense. This is to know someone experientially via first-hand acquaintance. The same word “know” was used by the virgin Mary when the angel of God informed her that she would...
I believe the Lord is leading me to use this story more like a parable today to apply it to our daily lives. So I will begin by stating that in verse 15 it tells us that Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself. So he was not with the disciples when they got into this boat. But from here...
“So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, ‘How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.’ Jesus answered them, ‘I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not...
Wednesday, September 13, 2017, 4:54 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Oh, To Be Like Thee, Blessed Redeemer.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read 1 Peter 3 (Select vv. ESV).
Pure Conduct (vv. 1-6)
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not...
