The Place of His Presence

May 19, 2025

Dear Ones: The Place of Your Presence! The psalmist calls out to God for help knowing that the only place of safety is in His presence. In these difficult times, it benefits us to imitate the psalmist by calling out to the Lord for guidance. The Master invites us to ask Him in Matthew 7:7a,…

Fear of the Lord

May 13, 2025

Dear Ones: Fear of the Lord! This verse reveals that it is the foundation of true knowledge. But what kind of fear are we talking about?

Judgment is Coming

May 12, 2025

Dear Ones: Judgment is Coming! The ones who knowingly call good evil and evil good are choosing judgment instead of blessings.

Human Wisdom

May 7, 2025

Dear Ones: Human Wisdom! It is certainly no match for excellence of the wisdom of God. In fact, Paul tells us that the forces of evil were completely blindsided by the Father’s plan of salvation through the Cross in 1 Corinthians 2:7-8, NKJV. “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which…

    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…

    June 5, 2025
    Dear Ones: One Body! Paul uses the comparison of the natural human body to explain the mystery of the Body of Christ.

    June 2, 2025
    Dear Ones: You are to Shine! Oh my! Paul tells us that we are to do things without grumbling or complaining. “Lord, help us. We need Your grace to thwart the vicious cycle of mummering.” It is a soulish kneejerk reaction to strike back when people talk against us unfairly. Gossips gossip and enjoy destroying…
