“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” John 10:14 Yesterday we looked at the scriptures just before this, where Jesus said He was the door to the sheepfold. In this verse, He also declares that He is the Good Shepherd. David in Psalm 23 gives us a beautiful picture of the Lord as our shepherd and what this means to us. What perks do we enjoy by being one of His sheep? Verse 1 “I shall not want.” He supplies our every need. Verse 2a “He maketh me to lie down in green…
“Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be…
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12 Have you ever been in a place of total darkness? Years ago, our family visited a cave and…

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. I Timothy 3:16-17 There are many women mentioned in the Bible. We know the names of some, and others are not named, yet there are lessons we can learn from each of them. I wrote a series a few months ago on Sarah and all the lessons that we could learn from her. This week I would like to look at another well-known lady, Hannah.…
By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. (Hebrews 11:5, NKJV) Each day we live, we write another chapter of who we are for the world to read. At life’s end, these chapters are condensed down to just a few words on stone — or sometimes just two dates with a dash. Walk the paths of an old cemetery, and the epitaphs written on its tombstones offer a glimpse into the life of someone…
“According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it.” 1 Corinthians 3:10 ESV Have you ever felt incapable or under qualified to do what God has called you to do? I’m sure in moments of doubt and weakness, even Paul experienced this. Those moments when fear comes creeping into the back of your mind, and threatens to destroy everything that has been built in your life. What God has called you to do, you…
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. Mark 8:22–25 Reacting to God There isn’t a person reading…
