“Bearing a Cross” Mark 15:21
Introduction
I want to speak to you this morning about bearing a cross. In Mark 15:21 we find one compelled to bear a cross. – Mark 15:21 And this raises some questions. Was Simon chosen to bear that cross by chance? No one identified by name in the Bible has been identified by […]
Gen 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Dealing with power outages yesterday so not able to post a devotional. So thankful that we never have to experience a power outage when we are standing with Jesus. The power that Jesus promised is there for […]
Ps 119:9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
Ps 119:172 My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness.
KJV
By my count we find the phrase “Thy word” thirty five times in Psalm 119. Above we find the first and the last times that phrase is used in this beautiful Psalm and that tells us much about the Word of God. When one seeks […]
Ps 119:47-50 And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

2 Peter 3:1-2 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

Neh 9:38 And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
KJV
A sure covenant, a sure agreement, very few are found today. It seems as if the word of a person is absolutely no sure covenant today and even papers signed do not make a sure covenant. The reason for that is that agreements or covenants involve man and there are more willing to break […]
2 Peter 1:5-9 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, […]
