Psalm 119:11 – “I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” Have you ever struggled with a sin you want to overcome, but seem powerless to do so? Paul experienced the same struggle, as he explains in Romans 7:19 – “For I do not do the good I […]
Ezekiel 34:31—”And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.” God intends for pastors (shepherds) to look after their flock (of the believers in their churches) and not only look after themselves with help of their churches. ‘Shepherds’ also include parents who are responsible […]
1 Peter 4:11—”If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” We can plainly see […]
Thessalonians 5:16-18—”Be cheerful no matter what; pray all the time; thank God no matter what happens. This is the way God wants you who belong to Christ Jesus to live.” The one difference that stands out between a believer and an unbeliever is the peace and joy abiding in the former. Believers follow the Word […]
Proverbs 16:7-9—”By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the […]
Proverbs 11:2-3—”Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see that with the lowly is wisdom. An honest man’s principles are fixed, therefore his way is plain.” Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s achievements, associations, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. […]
2 Peter 3:9—”The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Put on the evening news – on one side you have Isis doing their bit governed by a leader with head strong […]
Psalm 119:68 – “You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.” We sing it loud and clear during worship, “God is good, all the time.” We believe it to be true at that time, otherwise the words won’t escape our lips that easily. But do we still believe that statement after the music has ended? […]
Mark 12:44: For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living. A clear contrast is drawn here by Jesus of a widow who gave out of her want and the others who gave to God out of their abundance. […]
Proverbs 13:13: Whoso despiseth the word shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the commandment shall be rewarded. The word spoken of here is God’s word or instruction on how to live life.
