A New and Living Way
Hebrews 10:20 “. . .the new and living way. . .” Have you ever heard someone say, “there’s a right way and a wrong way to do everything”? While I don’t’ think that that statement is necessarily true for some things (like which shoe you put on first in the morning) can be done in…

A Glorious Inheritance
Hebrews 9:16-17 “For where a will is involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will takes effect only at death, since it is not in force as long as the one who made it is alive.” Have you ever inherited anything? If you have, you understand full well that an…

Spiritual Covid
Matthew 10:28 “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.” We are living in unprecedented times. Never in my lifetime have I seen so much focus on a single disease – the infamous Covid-19. In a period of a…

For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.” What does Christianity offer that no…

Continually Thankful
Colossians 2:7 “. . . abounding with thanksgiving.” At any time of crisis, it is a good time for believers to consider the attitude to which God has called us. In Colossians 2, Paul encourages the Colossian believers (and us) that just as they had received Christ Jesus as Lord, they were to continue to…

The Indescribable Giver
2 Corinthians 9:15 “Thanks be to God for His inexpressible gift!” As Paul concludes his lengthy discourse on the subject of giving in his letter to the Corinthian church, he exults with the wonderful statement, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift.” Of course, that gift is the gift of His own Son, “For…

Wonderful Words of Life

John 1:1-5, 14 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of…
