James 4:17 – “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” How many more of our children must die before Congress does the right thing?

Matthew 6:10 reads “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” I hate sounding like the voice of doom, but does anybody really think things will get better in this world as we presently know it? Big picture … what do you think? Oh, there’ll be technological advancements that […]

Proverbs 12:17 – “He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.” The denial of the truth and compounding it with a lie is one of the most astonishing experiences that I’ve ever witnessed on a personal and professional level. Some of you have probably experienced this as well. Someone tells you […]

Reading the Bible can be like watching a movie or reading a book. The problem is we tend to watch this movie or read this book from the middle, not the beginning. We spend most of our time on the New Testament and virtually ignore the Old Testament and thus not see the beginning of […]

Ezekiel 3:17 – “… I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.” This nation witnessed yet another example of its history of inherent bigotry when a group of white supremacist marched in Charlottesville, VA. The results were predictable, but […]

In Matthew 7:21, Christ says “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven…” I can’t imagine anyone who has the slightest belief in the Bible wanting to hear this at the judgment.

James 2:15-16 – “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?” Faith alone doesn’t cut it! One of the […]

Jesus, in Matthew 24:37-39, compared His return to the days which preceded the days of Noah and the flood. What were those days like? Regrettably, much like today. People were acting like God wasn’t watching and did anything they wanted to do without regard to what God was thinking. Today, political leaders especially, business and […]

1 Peter 4:17 – “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” One of the most fascinating and chilling accounts in the Bible is Almighty God exacting judgment […]

Proverbs 16:18 – “Pride goeth before destruction…” God hates pride! No two ways about it. This is the kind of pride one holds of himself (or herself). The “I’m all that” kind of pride. The “Your life is better because of me” kind of pride. The “You can’t live or get by without me” kind […]
