Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
My weekly or routine devotionals.
This past week we remembered the heroes of 9/11, those citizens, soldiers and rescue workers who put their lives on the line without hesitation. Of almost 3,000 who died on 9/11, over 400 were first-responders. As our hearts and lives are deeply and forever touched, we may ask ourselves, “What …
Last week we saw that Hell is real, and only Satan wants man to go there. Hell was designed for Satan and his fallen angels, yet it continues expanding itself as men are dropped into eternal doom. (Matt. 25:41; Isa. 5:14) James 2:19 says, “Thou believest that there is one …
Sunday is Father’s Day in New Zealand God’s plan for a godly society begins within the first institution He ordained, the family. Satan knows this well, and therefore the family has been the focus of his attack since the Garden of Eden. Over many millennia, his attacks have eroded this …
In The World, HELL is a derogatory joke. Why? Because “the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not” (2 Cor. 4:4). In Religion, HELL is corrupted doctrine. JW’s: “The wicked will be annihilated” Mormon’s: “All will eventually be saved, and not suffer eternal punishment” …
Most people believe there is a God. James 2:19 says, “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” Here, if believing and FAITH are the same, then the devils will not go to Hell simply because they believest. Yet, we know this …
Patriot = “A person who loves his country, and zealously supports and defends it and its interests; devoted to the welfare of one’s country” (Webster’s 1828) Last week we read Romans 9:17-22, this week read 9:1-5 Paul was called to preach against spiritual and moral decay, to pursue a national …
When we say that we are Voting for the Best of the Worst, we are not voting for the worst’s wickedness but for the righteous will of God. Read Romans 9:17-22 and let me explain… Most of us will agree that God “removeth kings, and setteth up kings” (Daniel 2:21). …
Webster’s 1828 defines fame as being renowned or a celebrity, one of great actions that exalts their character. Today, fame is more closely associated with wealth and popularity. In 1 Kings 10:1-9, the Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon to witness his “fame.” Some say she came to see his …
Last week, as we finished Sunday School in New Zealand, my phone started beeping with messages about the assassination attempt on President Trump. A week later, many call his survival dumb-luck, while others call it divine-intervention. However we look at it, the assassin never should have gotten so close on …
Losing someone dear to us leaves an emptiness that seems difficult to fill regardless of the amount of time that passes. Many of us have walked through this “valley of the shadow of death” (Psalm 23:4), sinking under the pain of bereavement, even speaking the Martha’s words, “Lord, if thou …
