Think on these things (Philippians 4:8-9)
I forget who first pointed this one out, but it has blessed me ever since! Genesis 22:7 tells us that “God will provide HIMSELF a lamb.” Could God have prophesied any clearer that He, HIMSELF, would become the Lamb of God! “HIMSELF” clearly points to Jesus Christ, of whom John …
“Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such …
Read Psalm 60 The title of Psalm 60 takes us to 2 Samuel 8, where David united the 12 tribes before turning his attention to securing and expanding Israel’s borders: “To the chief Musician upon Shu’-shan-e’-duth, Mich’-tam of David, to teach; when he strove with A’-ram-na-ha-ra’-im and with A’-ram-zo’-bah, when …

How often does your pastor’s message sound repetitive, or how many times has he made the same point? I thought of this after Wednesday night’s service as we reviewed what we believe in our Constitution. This brought me to Titus, a Pastoral Epistle instructing Pastors, where Titus 3:1 starts out, …
The enemy of our faith is not so much our doubts as it is our fears. An example of the Old Testament is Jonah. We all know the story of Jonah and the Whale, that disobedience towards God had him swallowed up in that great fish. Then, Jonah’s life went …
