In God we trust.
I find I still have trouble with idols. Anything we put our trust in above Jesus becomes an idol for us. For me I always fall back on trusting money, or not trusting when there is lack of it. I came across a verse in Isaiah that spoke to me about this problem. …
Why did God respect Abel’s offering and not Cain’s?
The Bible says God had respect to Abel’s offering of the firstling of his flock, but had not respect to the offering of Cain when he offered the fruit of the ground. Why would God make such a distinction? It might appear as if God is not just, and arbitrarily chooses to have respect or …
Does God reward our good behavior, and punish our bad behavior?
I still find myself, at times, stumbling over that stumbling stone, the grace of Jesus. Why would a Christian say such a thing? A Christian can backslide by abandoning his or her morals, and getting caught up in the world, and the lust of the flesh. A Christian can also backslide by abandoning the righteousness …
Can we feel younger as we grow older?
Is it possible to grow older, and yet feel younger? Man has been in search for the fountain of youth since time began. Science now believes that with the proper diet, nutrient supplements and replacement surgery, a man or woman could possibly live for centuries. I do not believe God wants us to live for …
Mixing grace with the law.
It is important to remember as Christian’s we are under the new testament covenant of grace, and not mix the free gift of grace with the law. Paul asked the Galatians, ” Are ye so foolish, having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?” Galatians 3:3. “Therefore we conclude that …
Can faith alone save us? Yes!
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Do we need to mix our faith with works to be saved? Is this what James was saying in this passage? Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the …
Peace, Be Still !
Mark 4: 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Jesus commanded the wind and the waves to be at peace, and they had to obey him! He also wants us to be at peace. Many …
What is the will of God?
The Lord’s prayer has included in it the verse, “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” But how can we be certain what God’s will is? When Jesus prayed that the Father’s will be done on earth as in heaven, he was proclaiming the kingdom of God. In God’s kingdom his …
Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; John:10.11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. I shall not want. Romans 8.32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? He maketh me …
Do all religious paths lead to God?
I have heard in the past, that all paths of a religious nature lead to God. We may be on different paths, according to our own understanding of God, or our particular upbringing or circumstances. One person likened it to a mountain, with God at the peak. There are many paths to the top of …
