Jesus is telling those who are Christians that the blessings which they will experience versus the judgement that the proud will experience are truly great.  We that know Christians will experience great power and knowledge because of knowing Jesus.  We will see...

In Joshua Chapter 24, we see that Joshua wants the people of God to recommit themselves to God. He rehearses all that God has done so that they know who He is and what His will for their life is, but that is contingent on really being interested in knowing it. This...

Jesus has just told His Disciples He is going to the cross, be rejected, suffer great things, be killed and raised the third day. Yet, what do we see the disciples doing, they are fighting over who is the greatest. But isn’t that what most of us do?  There are many...

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...

Here we see Jesus having compassion on a widow.  This was the woman’s only son and she was emotionally and financially destitute without him to support her.  Jesus demonstrates the kind of love and compassion we should have for those who are not able to take care...

I pray that your life is built on that Rock which is Jesus Christ.  He is the one who died for your sins, paid your debt, and either has or can set you free from the penalty of sin, death, and hell.  If you were building a house hopefully you would build it on a...

God wants us to read His word, meditate on it, study it, not so we can become greater in our knowledge of the word, but so that we can get to know Him better.  When we really begin to read the word and get into the meaning of it, then it can do the work it was...

Here we see in Psalms 56:10-11 that David knows because of his trust in God that he did not need to fear the opposition of mere man.  He has already stated that once in this Psalm in verses 3-4.  Here there is a close connection in being able to praise the Lord...
