What do you believe?
What have you received?
Truth about our Savior?
Or lies which give flesh favor?
When we trust in Jesus
From our sins He frees us
Freedom from our bondage
So we give Him homage
Die now to sins daily
Turn away from flailing
Walking in obedience
Not in what is devious
All...
This was Moses speaking to the children of Israel. And he was letting them know that they, the people of God, must adhere to (obey) the commandments of the Lord that God gave to Moses to give to the people. They were to walk in the fear of the Lord in the keeping of his commandments, which means...
Searching, searching everywhere
High and low, without a care
Wandering hither, to and fro
Looking for what? What to know?
Time is wasting, that do tell
Heads are swimming, pride doth swell
Nothing finished, not complete
Flesh is winning, not defeat
What’s the purpose? Do you know?
What, for...
If we go back and we read verses 20-21, it helps with the context here:
I believe Jesus’ mother Mary supported him, but she was human, so it could be that she thought he was out of his mind, too, yet that doesn’t fit with what I understand of her relationship with Jesus. But we do know that...
Servant of the Lord;
For the gospel you’re set apart.
Promised through the prophets of old:
Jesus, Son of God.
Through Him, and for His name alone,
We receive His grace
To call people, Him to obey;
Coming from their faith.
Servant of the Lord,
For the gospel you’re set apart.
Promised through...
“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
I have sworn an oath and confirmed it,
to keep your righteous rules.
I am severely afflicted;
give me life, O Lord, according to your word!
Accept my freewill offerings of praise, O Lord,
and teach me your rules.
I hold my...
“Let my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to your word!
Let my plea come before you;
deliver me according to your word.
My lips will pour forth praise,
for you teach me your statutes.
My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are...
Then the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. He stood before the people and said, "This is what God says: Why do you disobey the LORD's commands and keep yourselves from prospering? You have abandoned the LORD, and now he has abandoned you!" 2 Chronicles 24:20 NLT...
*UNBREAKABLE*
“Man of God, welcome,” the man said mockingly to him as he entered into the dimly lit room.
He looked at the man that spoke and watched as he pulled up his trousers. But his attention was quickly drawn to the activities on the bed.
There was a man on top of a woman, they were...
He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
Matthew 26:42
And He was saying, "Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.
Mark 14:36
We have...
This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives. This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God--who does not...
By Faith
Hebrews 11:1-3 ESV
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that...
Hello. A friendly atheist here. A question occurred to me the answer to which I’d like a range of opinions from among Christians. This is not a “gotchya” question. I am not fishing for any right or wrong answer to prove some point. Promise.
First, let me just say there are certain aspects of...
Obedience of Faith
Romans 1:1-7 ESV
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be...
Justified by Faith
Romans 5:1-2 ESV
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
When we are born into...
Be Holy
Hebrews 12:14-17 NIV
Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. See that no one is sexually immoral...
Is there such a thing as absolute truth? Are there definite rights and wrongs? Or, is morality completely subjective? Are we to show tolerance (acceptance) of all beliefs and practices? Should we make allowances for sin – sin as defined by God? Or for different religions? And, should we...
What are the “devil’s schemes”? They are vast! His arsenal seems unlimited. He knows our weaknesses from observing us, and he knows, too, just where to strike us to make the biggest impact. Sometimes, he knows us better than we know ourselves, because we can often get blinded to our own...
