“By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the LORD’S song in a strange land?” Psalm 101:2Sin and disobedience had caused God’s people to be carried away as captives to Babylon. They felt that God wasn’t with them and that they had no reason to sing…
“Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands.” (Deuteronomy 7:9, NLT) Love. We talk about it, write poems and novels about it,…
“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10, ESV) The apostle Paul viewed life in very straightforward terms. We have a choice…

“The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: So he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay…
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:2 NLT I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again “I’ve got my mind made up!” Sometimes in a positive “I’m serving God no matter what” type of way, and other times in a “I’m stubborn and you won’t ever change my mind” kind of way. Most people believe that what they believe is right, and…
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.” (Mark 8:29, NKJV) When Jesus walked the earth, not everyone agreed on who He was. Was He the Messiah, the One they had been waiting for through the centuries? Or was He just another self-proclaimed “wannabe”? In Mark 8:27 Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” Their response to His question shows there was much dispute among the people on who Jesus really was. “So they answered, “John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah;…
How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery: (as I wrote afore in few words, Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ). (Ephesians 3:3-4) How do we get to know God? It comes through daily reading the Bible and prayer. God’s Word is alive and will speak to us, if we are willing to listen. Let’s open it and start reading! To Christians the Bible is the most loved book in the world, but to others it is the most hated book. In some countries, if you are found with…
