In Luke 9:26 we see the contrast between a Christian’s reputation now in the eyes of those of the world (glory here) or the good reputation before God in the future (glory later).  Which one is it that we seek?  Every day we have a choice are we going to look good...

Ephraim got an inheritance from the Lord as His people when they entered the promised land.  This inheritance was to be one that had crops, land, animals, houses, and fruit trees which they did not plant nor build.  God had said He would drive the people out little...

Many people refuse to recognize Jesus as God, worship Him, and trust in Him.  But here we see these demons, apparently thousands of them who have possessed this man recognize Jesus as the Most High God. They know that one day they will be sent to hell and so they...
