For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light-for the fruit of the light results in all goodness and righteousness, and truth-discerning what is pleasing to the Lord. Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them. Ephesians 5:8-11 There is…
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! Psalm 33:12 Israel was God’s chosen people. God called Abraham to move from his home and brought him to the land of Canaan and promised to make his descendants as numerous as the stars in the…
Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you were in fact not ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready, because you are still fleshly. For since there…
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:32 ESV The truth is never subjective. Either something is true or it’s a lie. It’s always amazed me how word travelled back in Jesus’ day. If you study your Bible, you will see that even though they did not…

So then we must pursue what promotes peace and what builds up one another. Romans 14:19 In Romans 14 Paul addresses disunity among believers. He speaks of how we must not judge and criticize each other and cause stumbling blocks for weaker Christians. Here is where you may ask what are weaker Christians? Well,…
Be silent before the LORD and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by the one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil. Refrain from your anger and give up your rage; do not be agitated-it can only bring harm. For evildoers will be destroyed, but those who put…

Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life. Romans 6:4 HCSB In Warren Wiersbe’s book Be Right, he says that too many Christians are…
