“This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to...
“Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God’; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is...
Are you plagued with reservations,
Doubts and fears and hesitations?
Difficulties, lots of questions?
Thoughts of others? Their objections?
Many voices speaking to you
Has the tendency unglue you?
Voices plenty that you preview?
Disappointments that you renew?
Do you find yourself unsettled...
“For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ But if you bite and devour one another, take...
“Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions...
“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...
“..God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before...
This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he...

“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments...
Today I was reading in Hebrews 11, which is regarded as the “faith chapter of the Bible,” for it lists numerous people of faith from the Old Testament and the things that they did and how they lived in loving response to God, by faith in God. They obeyed God. They did what was pleasing to God...
Don’t worry ‘bout what others say
Or what they think of you.
But be concerned what Jesus thinks
About you, and be true.
For we were put upon the earth
To please God with our lives,
To do His will, to sin forsake,
So in Him we survive.
For Jesus died upon that cross
To put our sins to death,
So...
Now, once I was a sinner.
I lived to please myself.
My thoughts of what I wanted
I put not on a shelf.
I did what gave me pleasure.
I did just what I liked.
I did what brought enjoyment.
Myself took not a hike.
But Jesus called me to Him
To leave my sin behind,
To find my life now in Him,
No...
“Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church. I was made a minister of this church according to the commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might fully...
“Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as...
“Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God's...
