Glorious Omniscience
Colossians 2:2-3 “. . . the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” I have a confession – I think I’m a news junkie. I’m always curious about what’s going on in the world, so I read two local newspapers every morning as well as peruse…

The Way Things Seem
Hebrews 12:9-11 “We have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline…

He Knows Before We Ask
1 Samuel 9:18-20 “Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, ‘Tell me where is the house of the seer?’ Samuel answered Saul, ‘I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for today you shall eat with me, and in the morning I will let you go and will tell you…

Too Lazy to Learn?
Hebrews 5:11 “About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.” Sometimes I wonder what it must have been like for Jesus, Who is omniscient, to speak to people that weren’t interested enough to listen to what He was saying. So much of what He…

Glorious Prologue
Matthew 6:9 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.” When you pray, how often do you begin your prayers in the way Jesus told us to? Are the first words out of your mouth about your problems, your needs, and the problems and needs of others, or is it about the greatness of our God? …

Who Knows?
Genesis 18:25 “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?” I don’t know about you, but there are many things about God and the Word of God that I don’t understand. That bothers some people – a lot! Does it bother you? I suppose one way of looking at this is…

Spiritual Wisdom and Understanding and Its Source
Colossians 1:9 “And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding” If one is filled with the knowledge of God’s will, as Paul prayed for the Colossian church in the verse above, what does such…

Is there a better way?
John 21:6 “He said to them, ‘Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.’ So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.” Have you ever thought about how little you really know about just about anything? The way…

Of Roosters and Men
John 18:25-27 “Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. So they said to him, ’You also are not one of his disciples, are you?’ He denied it and said, ’I am not.’ One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, ’Did I not see…

Being watched
Psalm 119:168 “I keep your precepts and testimonies, for all my ways are before you.” Do you realize that you are being watched every moment of every day? It doesn’t matter where we are, who we’re with, if it’s day or night, if we are in public or in secret and “all by our self.”…
