2 Pet 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
What a wonderful truth we find here in Scripture. God is NOT willing that any perish, God wants ALL to come to repentance. This verse cannot be viewed or interpreted in any other way, the Bible says what it means and means what it says. The only […]
Acts 13:1-3 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on […]
Luke 19:11-15
11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. 14 But his citizens hated him, […]
Mark 6:30-31 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
There are times when we need to “Come ye yourselves apart” to be with the Lord. The disciples were engaged […]
John 4:34-35 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. 35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
Are the fields “White already to harvest”? The answer is yes my friend and we will find that harvest as we seek […]
Luke 9:28-33 And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
32 […]
James 2:14-20 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, […]
2 Cor 4:1-4 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the […]
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
We noted yesterday that God places a high value on a Godly woman. Today in honor of Mother’s Day let us consider a few and what God valued in them.
(1) God placed a high value on the prayers of Hannah. – 1 Sam 1:10-11 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and […]
Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favour of the LORD.
With Mother’s Day coming up I want to consider what the Bible says about women. So many wrongly think that the Bible and God have a low view of women. Verses such as 1 Cor 14:28 and Eph 5:22 taken out of context aid that type of liberal thinking. There are many verses in Proverbs and the books of the Law that are not […]
