Exceptions
Psalm 119:128 “Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.” Are their “exceptions” in your faith? Do you agree with the Bible’s view on many or even most things, but are there exceptions? Do you really like Jesus’ teaching about love, peace, and joy? Does the Sermon on the…

Doing the right thing
Psalm 119:121 “I have done what is just and right. . .” How many decisions do you make each day? It seems that all of life is a series of them. It starts when we rise in the morning, for our first decision is when to get up. But then each action from that point…

The two sides of the “good news”
John 15:22-25 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they…

The faithful One
Psalm 119:90 “Your faithfulness continues through all generations . . .” Christianity is not a fad. It’s not some new thing for which everyone jumps on the bandwagon like so many other things in this world.

The same mind that conceived the human body gave us the Word of God. To think of the genius behind this defies description.…

John 15:15 “No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.” Col 2:1-3 “For I want you to know how great a struggle I have for…

The thoughts of the greatest Mind
Leviticus 26:2-4 “You shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord. If you walk in my statutes and observe my commandments and do them,then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.” One of the…

Seeing wonders
Psalm 119:18 “Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.” This is one of my favorite verses. God’s law, His Word, the Bible, is filled with wondrous things; but if God doesn’t open our eyes to them, we will miss them. They are things that are more precious than gold,…

Why do you ask?
John 14:22 “Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world?” What kind of questions do you have about spiritual things, about the Bible, about Jesus, about God? It’s interesting that in the above passage the Scriptures point out that the question…
