    Swiftly We’re Turning Life’s Daily Pages   That’s what the song says;  “Swiftly we’re turning, life’s daily pages.  Swiftly the hours, are changing to years.”  Amazing isn’t it?  How “swiftly” time goes by!   The hours, turn into years.  One hour, you’re a child, playing hide-and-seek, and the next hour, you’re wondering where your childhood went! But each day, is just a page in your life, isn’t it?  And…

      How Sweet are the Lord’s Words !   The bible says in  Hebrews 11, verse 6;  “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”   But just “believing” in God, isn’t good enough. The bible says in  John 8:24;  “I said therefore unto you, that you shall die…

        Precious Memories, How They Linger   This morning I’d like us all to do some thinking.  And what I’d like us to think about, is all of our precious memories from the past.  Don’t think about bad the bad things that have happened, but think about all the good things.  Our lives have all varied form one another, and so some of us will be thinking…

    Six Things that the Lord Hates, Yea Seven are an Abomination   The bible tells us in  Proverbs 6:16; “There are six things which the LORD hates, Yea, seven, which are an abomination to Him.”     And here’s what those seven abominations are, from  verses 17 thru 19.. #1.  “A proud look”  Some versions say, “haughty eyes”   #2.  “A lying tongue”  No definition needed there. #3.  “Hands that shed innocent…

      The Logos is God !   I’ve been told that in some places, some people within the body of Christ, are questioning the Deity of Christ..  Questioning, the Deity of Christ! Of course the word “Deity” refers to someone who possess a divine nature;  In other words, a God.  So then the question is..  Is Christ God?  What does the bible say?  Don’t even be concerned with…

      Burning in our Hearts for God   I’d like to ask you to think about something this morning.  Have you ever had a “burning in your heart” for anything?   It’s like all you have to do is just think about something, and this feeling comes over you.  Have you ever had that burning in your heart for another person?  Maybe it’s for a husband or a wife. …

    Fear in the Present Day World   I’m going to begin this morning by reading from an article titled,  “Jesus and the Problem of Fear in the Present Day World” Jesus said, in  Luke 12 ,verse 32;  “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”  Fear is in no sense a modern problem.  It’s as old as the history of…

  Beyond the Sacred Page, I seek Thee Lord   Where do you think is the first place, and maybe the best place, that you should go, if you want to seek the Lord?  Would it be the very word of God, the bible?   If someone doesn’t know much at all about God, where would they go to learn about God?  The bible!  Right? Jesus was speaking to a crowd…

      Grow In Christ   A couple of Sunday evenings ago, I read a little piece that was written by a lady who’s a member of the church.  And I told you how she seems to have a lot of good ideas in what she writes.  And so last week she wrote something about growing in the Lord, and she suggested that repentance, is a sure sign of…

      God Personified   In the bible, God often times has personified Himself, as if He had a physical body, like we do.  For example,  Psalm 34:15  tells us;  “The EYES of the Lord are upon the righteous, And His EARS are open to their cry.”    And in  Isaiah 59, verse 1  we read;  “Behold, the Lord’s HAND is not shortened, that it cannot save;  Neither his…

        I am Crucified With Christ   Let’s begin with reading  Galatians 5, verses 22 thru 25.. “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: Against such there is no law.”   Listen to that last part again..  “Against that, there is no law.”  The word “against” really means..  “compared to that, or set along side that.”   Actually, it literally…

    God is a Perfect Soul   Our God, the God of heaven and earth, is a perfect living being.  Is God not perfect?   God is the ONLY perfect soul, (a soul is a living being) He is the ONLY perfect soul that there is!  Different from all other souls;  Our God is Holy.  You remember what “holy” means right?  It means “different”, different from all others. “..For I…

    Searching The Scriptures Daily   I’d like to read to you  Acts 17, verses 10 & 11..   “The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night, to Berea.  And when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.  Now these were more noble, than those in Thessalonica;  For they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were…

  There Is A Sin Unto Death Let me read to you  1 John 5, verses 16 & 17.  We were talking about these two verses last Sunday morning in bible class.  Those verses tell us;  “If anyone sees his brother committing a sin NOT leading to death, (the phrase “sees his brother”, in this verse, means.. if you become aware of, or if you perceive this happening)  And so…

    More on Original Sin   Last week I talked about the subject of original sin, and how some people think that the sin of Adam, has been passed along to every human being ever born. And it’s pretty easy to take the bible and prove that idea to be false, with just a couple of verses that teach “foundational” bible principles and truths. And the verse that seems…

    All Scripture..  Inspired and Profitable   I’ve got twenty four verses of scripture for you this morning, from eight different books of the bible.  And according to  2 Timothy 3, verse 16,  ALL of these verses are inspired by God, and they are all profitable.  They are either profitable for instruction, or for reproof,  (reproof is a “proving” of God’s word, and a “proving” of our faith)  And…

    Sin Entangles Us   Lately I’ve been suggesting to you that you think on things that are lovely, and beautiful, pure, and honest, and that kind of thing.  But sometimes, we have to think about other things as well.  For example, sometimes, we simply have to think about sin.    I mean, the bible has an awful lot to say about sin;  And we’d surely be being negligent,…

      Are We Guilty of Original Sin ?   Several times I have spoken about what I would call, “foundational principles” of the Word of God.   And there are certain verses of scripture that state these “foundational principles”.   For example,  Mathew 16:16  is one of the greatest statements ever made, and it illustrates one of the greatest foundational principles ever given to us by God.   And…

  Think on Beautiful Things   A few weeks ago I gave a lesson based on  Philippians 4, verse 8,  which says;  “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”    Have you done that? …
