Knowing – In Part
1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see through a glass, darkly; . . . now I know in part.” How confident are you of the things you believe? Perhaps you are very confident. It is interesting that the verse above, which cautions us regarding the things we know (or think we know), is a part…

The hunger to know
John 16:13 “When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.” It is impossible to understand the Bible without the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It…

What’s your perspective?
Psalm 139:6 “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.” Do you read the Bible? If you do, what is the perspective from which you approach it? Might I suggest there are at least three views we can take as we read it. The first is to place ourselves above…

The overflow
Psalm 119:171 “My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.” What do you talk about most? What pours out of your lips? Jesus said that from the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. So, what do you fill your heart with? That’s what will come from your mouth. There’s a…

To the “know it all”
Psalm 119:130 “The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.” No one likes a know-it-all. You know the kind. You can’t tell them anything, because they are so enthralled with how much more they know than anyone else that they have no interest in hearing from those who are “lesser.” It…

John 15:21 “But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.” Perspective, how we see things, means everything. This includes, first and foremost, how we see God. Before we actually know God, we can think we know a great deal about Him, but our…

Eternal words
Psalm 119:89 “Forever, O Lord, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens.” Have you ever said something that you wish you could take back? Who hasn’t said things they regret? How often do we go off on incomplete information, saying things before we know both sides of a story, then living to regret what we said? …

The mind of Christ
Psalm 119:73 “Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.” It is impossible to put into words the awesomeness of the Word of God. The same mind that conceived the human body gave us the Word of God. To think of the genius behind this defies description.…

How Great Thou Art!
Psalm 104:1 “Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed in splendor and majesty.” How GREAT is our God! Any words we use, no matter how many we use, can only understate his majesty. He is a being that never had a beginning and never will…

Such profound truth, such simple words!
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” Knowing Christ – it’s something that is so deep that it’s hard to put into words, yet so simple that it can be captured…
