Luke 6 How do you see and experience true wisdom and a life that produces rewards? Remember, what you have now is temporal, and if you have nothing but obedience, then that will be rewarded not here but in the afterlife. Jesus wanted the religious leaders to look around them. Did they see those who […]
Eccl 1-3 Solomon spent much of his time musing over many topics and came away thinking that all this striving is futile, fleeting, and incomprehensible (J.MacArthur). Yet Solomon kept going back to his drawing board with this phrase “I said in my heart; I searched in my heart; and I turned my heart.” That is […]
Ps 39-40 It seems like only yesterday that Bible.org began its ministry, yet we are still sharing the love of God to millions! We are here proclaiming the majesty of our God! How about you? As Noah built the Ark, the words of the God deniers echoed in his ears: It has never rained and […]
Psalm 5-8 The psalmist is much like us: who are we that God would care so much for us? It is one of those questions that we struggle with off and on. God cares because we are His chosen from the foundation of the world. [Eph 1:4] He not only chose us, but He predestined […]

Life seems so short. This week seeing the children I taught now with their own children growing up so fast was a wake – up call as to the fleeting life I now live in contrast to the permanence of God. I am just like a rose in God’s garden, I need tending but eventually […]
“people are appointed to die once, and then to face judgment,”[Heb 9]. Our question is: are you prepared for your entry into eternity? In Luke 23, we are presented with three candidates for us to observe and determine ours. First on our list is Barabbas, an insurrectionist and a murderer. He is incarcerated in a […]
Perhaps you know of someone, like I do, who shared his kidney “just because” it was as he said.,..the right thing to do. He stepped up and offered a kidney to save another whose life hung in the balance. But here is the question: what if God said you could give your salvation to someone […]
