1 Timothy 6 We live in a materialistic society. We are bombarded with ads for this and that supposedly because we need it to be contented. But, if you read history and the biographies of rich men, you will find that they were not contented. Rockefeller when asked what would make him contented, he answered, […]
1 Timothy 5 As in the time of Timothy, so today we have multi generational groups which require wisdom and patience. Paul’s wisdom to Timothy is to be wise in word and deed to those who are older, yet sometimes can be challenging to the young. Proverbs reminds us that gray heads, as my granddaughter […]
1 Timothy 4: God’s Spirit reminds us that as then, so today, some will desert the faith; some will occupy themselves with deceiving spirits and demonic teachings. Look at what they teach: prohibition of marriage, yet it was God who instituted it in the Garden! They want you to abstain from those very foods that […]
1Timothy 3 No matter where you are today, it is imperative that you know that your conduct reveals that you are a walking and breathing Christian in word and deed. This week marks a change in the West Point mission statement. The leaders have removed “duty, honor, country.” That seems to be the way of […]
1 Timothy 2 Prayer’s Purpose We have been encouraged over and over to pray for others, but did you notice the reason why? Paul, as a wise counselor, tells his disciple Timothy to pray not just for those he cares about, but for all people and especially those in authority over us. Since it is […]
I Timothy 1: A Pure Heart Do you let Satan seek to destroy your testimony? Listen to what Paul has to say Timoth, teach the people to have a heart of faith, a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. Beware of those who seek honor that is not theirs because they do not […]
Acts 28 Responses Paul and the people abandoned the ship due to torrential rains and winds. The people on Malta are skeptical, but then see the power of God and bless Him. Later, the shipwrecked people go on another ship which takes them to Italy. Paul goes on to Rome and there he meets with […]
Acts 27 They say hindsight is 20-20 and it seems that this is true in this chapter. Paul had wisely told the centurion that they should not try to sail but his words were lost to the wind, (pun intended). As it happened, Paul’s words came to be and the ship and all of its […]
ACTS 26 Testifying Paul has had opportunities that few have had; to stand before judges,rulers and kings more than once. Now, he stands before the king and his testimony is full of his life before Christ andsince meeting Jesus on the Damascus road. With each ruler, Paul has expertly spoken to them using their own […]
ACTS 25 Paul has certainly had many opportunities to speak for Christ before these Roman puppet leaders and he has remained “cool.” as we say. He has not changed his story but the Jewish leaders heap charge upon charge. They have no evidence and no witnesses, yet they are persistent. That is the way of […]
