Acts 5:31 – “Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.” It is interesting when we read what happened from verses 12 through 41 of Acts 5. The Apostles were out there performing many miraculous signs; people were being healed; people began to […]
Numbers 6:26 – “The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” “To lift up the eye or the face upon anyone is to look upon that one with peculiar and tender interest.” (Pulpit Commentary). This statement is very true, we also look at people we care more for, we demonstrate interest and give […]
Isaiah 7:14 – “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” How would you accept the news that a woman who was very young, was not married, became pregnant, without being with a man? This would be difficult to accept, correct? […]
1 Corinthians 13:13 – “Now abide faith, hope, love, these three, but the greatest of these is love.” It is easier to define faith and hope. The first: having complete trust in someone or something, a strong belief in God; the second: a feelling of expectation or desire for a certain thing to happen. But how do […]

If one of the commandments were infringed, […]
Romans 15:13 – “Now may the God of hope fill you with all the joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” The dictionary describes hope as a ‘feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen”. We hope we will pass that test; get that […]
Psalm 34:3 – “Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.” It is good to magnify the Lord anytime we can. It is really good to do it when we get together in our small groups, when we all join in and praise His name. But it is really wonderful when the entire congregation joins together in one […]
Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me.” According to a very brief internet check, forging a weapon is easy, provided one has all that is necessary […]
Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.” In this life, our trials are not a matter of ‘if’, but a matter of ‘when’, and Jesus was The […]
Isaiah 58:11 – “The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” It is so incredibly reassuring and comforting to believe and trust in the Lord and to rely on His promises that never fail.
