What Does It Mean To Worship ?

Jim — Mon, 25 Aug 2025 15:50:18 +0000

What Does the Bible Mean When it Speaks of Worship? Throughout the bible, we find the word “worship” being used. But do we really know what it means to worship? (How would some of you describe what worship is?) Let’s begin by taking a look at a couple of definitions of the word “worship”. And I’ll be using Strong’s Concordance of bible words for these...

Did God Create Satan ?

Jim — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 15:51:19 +0000

Did God Create Satan ? I’d like us to examine the scriptures today in an effort to answer the question.. Did God create satan? I think I can safely say that the majority of people believe that indeed God did create satan. However, instead of being created as “satan”, most people would say that satan was originally created as an angel of heaven, and then later became what we...

Jacob’s Well

Jim — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 01:11:36 +0000

Jesus, a Samaritan Woman, and Jacob’s Well In John chapter 4, a story is told about Jesus and a Samaritan woman, who met and had a conversation, at Jacob’s well. It’s interesting that this is the only place in the bible that Jacob’s well is mentioned. It’s not mentioned in the old testament, even amid all the stories about Jacob, but it is mentioned here in the new...

What Shall We Pray For?

Jim — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 17:33:12 +0000

What Should We Pray For? Have you ever asked yourself that question? What does God want me to pray for? Well, God does indeed tell us some of the things that He would have us pray for. For example, Jesus gave us a sample prayer, in Mathew 6:9 thru 13. It’s commonly called “the Lord’s prayer”, and what it is, is a “model” of what a...

The Lord’s Supper And The Seder Meal

Jim — Sat, 05 Aug 2023 16:37:11 +0000

The Origin of the Lord’s Supper I’d like to talk to you today about the Lord’s supper, and about the Passover meal. As most everyone knows, the Passover meal “gave birth” you might say, to the Lord’s supper. There’s several passages in the new testament telling us about the Lord’s supper, giving various details. One example is Luke 20:19 & 20, which says.. “And He took bread,...

The Greatest Message

Jim — Fri, 21 Apr 2023 15:49:14 +0000

The Greatest Message Ever Told Let me begin by reading to you the words of Ephesians 5, verses 25, 26, and 27; “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church, and gave Himself up for her, that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that He might present the church to Himself, in splendor, without spot...

Walking On Water

Jim — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 01:51:04 +0000

“Walking on Water” How many of you know who Randy Travis is? He was a pretty popular country singer in his day. He doesn’t perform any more, because quite a number of years ago, he had a stroke that left him pretty disabled. But anyhow, one of the songs he recorded back in 1989 was called “He Walked On Water”. It was a song about a little boy’s love...

Patience Is A Virtue; And So Is Perseverance

Jim — Sun, 18 Sep 2022 16:08:23 +0000

Patience and Perseverance Galatians 6, verse 9 encourages us with these words; “And let us not grow weary well doing (that means in doing what is good, right?); So, “Let us not grow weary of doing those things that are good. For in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.” And so we need perseverance don’t we? And steadfastness. 1 Corinthians 15, verse...

The Garden Of Your Mind

Jim — Sun, 11 Sep 2022 16:27:37 +0000

Your Mind is a Garden Did you ever hear this little rhyme? “You mind is a garden, and your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.” I’m pretty sure that most of you have heard this verse from the bible; It’s Philippians 4, verse 8; “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,...

Revive Us Again

Jim — Sun, 28 Aug 2022 15:08:40 +0000

Revive Us Again Psalm 85, verse 6 says; “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” Have you ever felt like you needed a revival? It’s possible that at times, we might look at others, and think THEY need a revival; But what about you? Have you ever felt like YOU needed a revival? A good old, spiritual...

The Supper of the Lamb Revelation 19, verse 9 says; “Blessed are those having been invited to the supper, of the marriage of the Lamb.'” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.” Revelation 22:17 says; “And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one hearing, let him say, “Come!” And the one thirsting let him come; The one desiring, let him take freely the water of...

Walking With God; A Lesson From Enoch

Jim — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 00:01:05 +0000

How We “Walk with God” In Genesis chapter 5, we’re given a genealogy of man, from Adam to Noah. And in the sixth generation of offspring after Adam, a man was born, and he was named Enoch. And I’m sure we’ve all heard of Enoch. Enoch was the father of Methuselah, the longest living man named in the bible. It’s recorded for us that Methuselah lived...

How The Bible Affects Our Speech

Jim — Sat, 30 Jul 2022 16:03:05 +0000

Phrases and Sayings.. How many of you have heard the phrase.. “Break a leg”? How many know what it means? It means.. “good luck”. But how does “break a leg” translate into “good luck”? How did that come about? You’d think that breaking your leg would be bad luck, not good luck. So, does anyone know how that phrase came to be used, and how it came to mean.. ...

Studying Random Verses Of Scripture

Jim — Sun, 10 Jul 2022 15:27:59 +0000

Pick a Verse, Any Verse Have you ever simply opened your bible to somewhere, just anywhere, and read a page, or maybe even just a section of a page, and started studying the bible from there? It’s kind of like when the Ethiopian treasurer was riding in his chariot, going home from Jerusalem, and he was reading from the book of Isaiah. And Philip was sent by...

Let’s Celebrate Our Independence ! (This article was written on July 3rd, 2022) Tomorrow, as you all know, is the 4th of July, the day that we celebrate as “Independence Day”.

Living Right In A World So Wrong

Jim — Sun, 26 Jun 2022 00:30:59 +0000

“Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise.” (Ephesians 5:15) “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires, and to live sensibly, righteously and godly, in the present age.” (Titus 2:11-12) What does it mean, that “the grace of God has appeared” ?

Principalities And Powers

Jim — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 14:03:36 +0000

Principalities and Powers in the Heavenly Realm Last week I spoke about the meaning of Ephesians 3, verse 10. And that verse specifically has to with the fact, that it is a part of God’s eternal plan, that, as that verse phrases it.. “the manifold wisdom of God, should be made known by the church.” In other words, Christians are the “vehicle” so to speak,...

Why So Much Confusion ?

Jim — Sun, 29 May 2022 01:50:11 +0000

God is not the Author of Confusion In 1 Corinthians 14, verse 33, we read these words; “For God is not the God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints.” The word “confusion” in that verse, is synonymous with “disorder” and “instability”. What does disorder and instability lead to? It leads to confusion. Instability and disorder and confusion, doesn’t come from...
