Romans 1:25 (NIV®) “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen” I have been noticing lately how our natural tendency is to substitute things in this world in exchange for God. I don’t think we normally notice it […]
Matthew 7:22-23 (NIV®) “Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evil-doers!’” I wonder sometimes, how many of

Acts 3:13 (NKJV) “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.” This is Peter talking to a large group of onlookers who were seeing a lame man who
John 8:31-32 (NIV®) “To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, ‘If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” I have been praying for some time now that truth would be revealed in our world. It seems there
John 15:4a (NKJV) “Abide in Me, and I in you.” Have you ever been at the end of a road and needed to start down a new one? That is where I have been these past few weeks. “Life events” have occurred and my path seems a little uncertain. I usually have some idea of
Matthew 6:14-15 (NKJV) “For if you forgive men their trespasses, our heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” None of us are perfect. We all have areas where The Lord needs to work on us. Thing is, it usually requires
John 6:26 (NIV®) “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.” Are you like me? My guess is you are. Slow to believe all the hype about so many things. Slow to “buy in” to
John 20:23 (NKJV) “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” What if this is true? What if our forgiving another person totally erases his/her debt? If Jesus said this to His disciples, and I am a follower of Christ – a
2 Corinthians 5:1 (NIV®) “For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.” It is hard to watch someone waste away before your eyes. You know what is happening but there is nothing you can
I John 1:6 (NKJV) “If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.” Kind of harsh isn’t it? Nothing like a little “black and white” confronting our “gray”. My junior high math teacher used to refer to the rubber hitting the road… this
