Prov 18:24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Who is that friend that sticketh closer than a brother? We know Him to be the Lord Jesus Christ. That is, those who have repented from sin and turned to Christ know Him as that friend. What a blessed truth that He will never leave or forsake us. When we count no other friends we can count […]
Ecc 4:9-12 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is […]
Prov 27:17-19 Iron sharpeneth iron; So a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: So he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured. 19 As in water face answereth to face, So the heart of man to man.
What type of friends should one seek to surround himself with? Some look for those who will always agree with whatever they do, and they in turn will agree with […]
Prov 18:24 24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
The first order of business in having friends is for one to show themselves friendly. I have met many people over the years who have told me “I don’t have any friends in the church”. At the same time they come to just one service a week if that, get there late or just on time, are […]
Ecc 4:9-12 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord […]
Ps 119:127-132 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.
128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way. 129 Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them. 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. 131 I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments. 132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, […]
Ex 3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Gen 30:13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
The above verses give us the first time the words holy and happy are used in the Bible. The word “Holy” is found 611 times in the Bible while the word “Happy” is found […]
John 17:15-17 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Another presidential debate last night and more of the same for those who have watched them in the past. One pointing out how the other has failed and how he will succeed, the […]
Rom 4:1-8 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that […]
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
