David’s Song
2 Samuel 22:31 “This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” I am thankful for those Christians who have been through very great trials and have come out the other side magnifying and praising God. Those are the people…

Only One Way?
Isaiah 30:21 “This is the way, walk in it.” One of the most vehement objections I’ve heard to the gospel is against the claim that it is the only way to eternal life. I’ve seen people react as if they were offended by such a claim, e.g., “How dare you say that there is only one…

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 Better Way
Hebrews 6:9-10 “Though we speak in this way, yet in your case, beloved, we feel sure of better things—things that belong to salvation. For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.” One of the common beliefs of…

“Coexist”?
Ephesians 4:11-16 “And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,so that we may…

Two Ways
James 3:16-17 “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” Throughout the Bible, the lives we lead are talked about as a “way.” For example, Jesus talked about the narrow way…

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…

To All People Everywhere!
Acts 17:30-31 “The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” To hear some people talk, it would seem that Christianity…
