Keep On

April 27, 2023

Dear Ones: Keep On! There is a common saying in our culture, “Keep on keeping on!” The Urban Dictionary defines the idiom this way: The act of doing what you have been doing but an encouragement to do it more.

The Upper Hand

April 25, 2023

Dear Ones: The Upper Hand! In this verse Moses was talking to the children of Israel. Israel only had the shadows of the fullness of salvation, yet they prevailed when they obeyed the Lord God. We are on the redemptive side of the Cross and the truth in these words apply to us today, too.…

In Their Trouble

April 20, 2023

Perfect Peace

April 18, 2023

Dear Ones: Perfect Peace! Is there such a thing? There has to be because these are the words of the Master on the night He was betrayed. He cannot lie for there is no darkness in Him. In Mark 4:39 we have a witness from the Word that gives us a glimpse of His perfect…

Dear Ones: Speak Wisdom! The Lord said in Isaiah 51:16, “And I have put My words in your mouth.” Christ is the Word of God made flesh, the power of God and the wisdom of God. (See 1 Corinthians 1:24.) When we speak the Word of God out of our mouths, we speak wisdom. Yes, we release the…

This is the Victory

    Dear Ones: Greater Love! The Master said these words on the night He was betrayed before He was taken by the soldiers. He was preparing them for what was to come. However, His words ring true for every believer throughout the ages. Since the wages of sin is death, He paid for the sin of…

    Dear Ones: One Body! Paul uses the comparison of the natural human body to explain the mystery of the Body of Christ.
