“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9 ESV)
This verse in the Bible is another one of the most critical of the misquoted (quoted out of context) verses in the Bible. For people are teaching others from...
“There are six things that the Lord hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
and hands that shed innocent blood,
a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that make haste to run to evil,
a false witness who breathes out lies,
and one who sows...
“A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
winks with his eyes, signals with his feet,
points with his finger,
with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken...
“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols” (1 John 5:20-21).
When I was younger, and I...
Luke 11:33-36 ESV
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness...
Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
Now this word “imitate” can be used in at least two different ways. It can mean to mimic someone in a theatrical...
Matthew 7:13-14 ESV
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”
Jesus also said, “I am the way, the truth, and...
Jeremiah 23:1-3 ESV
“’Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!’ declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: ‘You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to...
Isaiah 5:11-12 ESV
“Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
that they may run after strong drink,
who tarry late into the evening
as wine inflames them!
They have lyre and harp,
tambourine and flute and wine at their feasts,
but they do not regard the deeds of the Lord,
or...

We read in Ephesians 4:17-24 that we, as followers of Jesus Christ, are to no longer live like the ungodly who are darkened in their understanding and who are hard of...

Psalms 33:4-5 ESV
“For the word of the Lord is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.”
Who tells the truth these days? Not many. Who can you rely on to tell you the truth? Only God! How...
An Original Work / November 2, 2021
You say you love God, but do you truly?
For, your life is being lived unruly.
You say that darkness it did dissipate
But by your words you the truth now negate.
You say a lot of things that are untrue.
Believing what you say is hard to do.
Your witness is...
Jeremiah 23 ESV
This passage of Scripture begins with a charge against the shepherds (pastors) of the sheep of the Lord’s pasture (the believers in Jesus), and against the prophets (preachers of the word of God). And this should include husbands and fathers who claim to be Christians, too, who...
Ephesians 4:25 ESV
“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.”
Truth is something severely lacking, not just in our culture, but in the church, too. It seems commonplace today for people, whether Christian or...
Jesus described Himself as the Way, the Truth and the Life, the only access to the Father.
Part of our commitment to Jesus is to listen to Him as Lord and saviour, to uphold the truth of love above domination, giving to others being more important than selfish ambition or gain.
Whether people...
I am going to say upfront that many believers in Jesus who are teaching the true gospel today are being accused falsely of being false teachers. The ironic thing about this is that it is mostly the false teachers who are accusing the Lord’s true messengers of teaching what is false.
“Woe to...
John Dehlin interviews Shannon Caldwell Montez on the Mormon meetings of 1922 with B.H. Roberts, wherein it was discussed that the BOM does not have a historical/real world basis.

1 Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites, because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land: “There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. 2 There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed...
Psalm 36:1-4 ESV
“Transgression speaks to the wicked
deep in his heart;
there is no fear of God
before his eyes.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes
that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit;
he has ceased to act wisely...
