In Acts 28, we find that God may have allowed the loss of the cargo, but He preserved the precious souls just as Paul had said to those accompanying him: “Do not be afraid, Paul! God has graciously granted you the safety of all who are sailing with you.” On the island of Malta, Paul […]
Acts 20 The Ephesians were incredibly saddened when Paul said they would not see him again. Yet, even in their sorrow, they were encouraged that although they would remain in Ephesus and Paul would be “on the go” once again, the ministry would go forward, and the book of Revelation reveals to us how that […]
Rom 14 Do you have the Christmas spirit yet? There are only a few shopping days left, but is that what is essential? Paul may not have been reminding his readers about Christmas, but today, we are reminded to have peace and joy as we celebrate. There are songs and scripture readings galore. We have […]
Romans 11 Do you have someone you love and pray for, yet they have refused to believe as of this date? As Paul writes to the Roman church, he inserts his heart, which is sad beyond words. Listen to what he penned regarding his Israelite family: “As it is written, God gave them a spirit […]
Romans 8-10 “Therefore there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” because you are free from the law of sin and death and are alive in Christ.”]Rom 8:1] Beloved, remember this truth; as we noted in Rom 7, the unbeliever “does not get it and never will get it” because they are […]
Romans 4: “What About Him?”How often are we like Peter, asked the Lord, “What about him , meaning John?” Paul anticipated that question from the Jews regarding salvation for the Gentiles. What about them? Since they did not have the Law, how could they be righteous? “Paul has devoted the first three chapters to prove […]
Romans 1 – Acts 20:1-3 We all love to hear our name being called. So imagine how beautiful it is to know that God called us, each one of us. He loved us from eternity past and called us from eternity past. Paul was called to be an apostle; like him, you were called to […]
2Cor 7 “Are you Blindfolded?”The dialog between Pilate and Jesus revealed that he was born to testify to the Truth. God’s word is Truth because He is the author, and Jesus is the living Truth that God sent. At that point, Pilate sneeringly asked Jesus: “What is truth?” Not willing or not being interested in […]
2Cor 6 As we learned in 1 Cor 1, the Corinthians were divided, but Paul reminds them they are fellow workers with him in the ministry. They “ARE” anointed by the Holy Spirit; they “ARE” sons of light [1Thess 5:5]. They “ARE” saints of God’s household [Eph 2:19]; they “ARE” complete in him [Col 2:10]; […]
2Cor 1-4 In Chapter 1, we learned to be steadfastly confident in God’s comfort. In Chapter 2, we learned that we have the power to forgive unconditionally. In chapter 3, we see that only through the indwelling Holy Spirit can we comfort others and forgive unconditionally. It is only through His power that these can […]
