Joshua 1-3 “Be Strong and Courageous” God would speak to Joshua just as He had spoken to Moses. His words: “Be strong and courageous,” are repeated three times. He had seen the Red Sea opening and now would see the Jordan open as well. God wanted Joshua to know that He could be trusted but […]
Ephesians 1 to 3: No wonder the Ephesians wept on that shore in Acts 20, knowing that they would not see him again. [Acts 20:25] They wept because they would no longer hear his voice or see his face. They were the recipients of the grace of God, and their hearts were changed forever! Paul […]
Colossians 1 to 4 The Real Deal Today there are two new ways the enemy seeks our attention and change. One is the spammer who collects our data and phone numbers and calls us all day long! 🙁 The other is the porch pirate that takes what is ours with this motto: what is mine […]
Rom 8 to 10: We, as believers, are well aware of the battle of the mind. Satan does his best to accuse us as he is called the accuser of the brethren. [Rev 12:10] So, as Paul continues his doctrinal treatise to the church at Rome and us in this present century, he now comes […]

2Cor 1 to 4 Unbelievers have a veil over their minds and their hearts. They cannot understand nor comprehend who Jesus is. But when the Holy Spirit reveals Him, the veil is removed, and they see, understand, and clearly see Jesus. Paul explains it this way: “But even if our gospel is veiled, it is […]
Acts 4 “Salvation in No Other Name” Satan is a master at deception and pride and the religious leaders fell into his trap. They thought they were done with this “Jesus thing” by crucifying him, but now a man stands before them healed by this same “dead” Jesus. They realized that they were unable to […]
Luke 23 Dr. Luke records for us the witnesses at the cross. Only by the Spirit of God could one chapter hold so much that it grabs our attention and cause us to fall upon our knees in humble adoration for the Messiah who gave all that we might worship Him alone. Today, just as […]
