1 Corinthians 12 tells us that God has put the body together so that extra honor and care are given to those parts with less dignity. The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12 When I was younger, my dad always said, take care of your body, … Continue reading 1 Corinthians 12
“As I urged you when I went to Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrine any longer.” 1 Timothy 1:3 There is not much to learn about Timothy except for a couple of letters addressed to him by Paul. But just in these two letters, we can look at Timothy and say, “This is a … Continue reading 1 Timothy 1:3
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the son and the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19 I believe that all of us are called to be evangelist! It may look different for each of us depending on our personality, but I believe that we are all called to spread the Gospel. To share the good news. All … Continue reading Matthew 28:19
“My soul follows hard after you, Your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:8 Several years ago, my friend Lee, my dog Ginger, and I were going through the thicket hunting snowshoe up north, and I got separated from them because I had to keep going around the heavy thicket. Further and further away I got. As we got to the dirt road, there was Lee … Continue reading Psalm 63:8
Don’t ask me where I picked up this saying, but I always say, “To have more of God, you need to want more of God!” I am pretty adventurous and like many things in life, but there isn’t anything more satisfying than the presence of God. His Word is the first thing when I open my eyes in the morning, even before a cup of … Continue reading Hebrews 12:1
“Even strong young lions grow hungry, but those who “seek”, trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.” Psalm 34:10 I find it interesting that that the Psalmist would use young lions. A young Lion is resilient, full of energy and strong, but they still can become hungry. The same with a person who seem to have everything all together can experience disappointment and … Continue reading Psalm 34:10
“Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.’ Psalm 34:5 This verse takes me back to November of 1988 when I excepted Christ. People I worked with said I looked like death warmed over, and then all of a sudden I was beaming like a light. That opened a door to share why! Isn’t this true? There is … Continue reading Psalm 34:5
“When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.” Isaiah 59:19 Let me say this! GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD! A number of years ago, I had a bad fall and had a head injury. I had several seizures. The doctors said I needed to be on medication or I would have seizures for … Continue reading Isaiah 59:19
“They soon forgot His work, they did not wait for His counsel.” Psalm 106:13 Israel found out about the pitfall of quick fixes. Some people go through life bargaining with God with no intention in keeping their promises. Once God extends them Grace, off they go doing their own thing with little or no change. How about you? Do you only seek God during a … Continue reading Psalm 106:13
God gave me much more revelation on this verse that I shared yesterday. I could not stop thinking about it. “Just don’t pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong, hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.” Romans 12:9-10 There is something powerful about taking yourself out of the equation. … Continue reading Romans 12:9-10
