    Love Them Like Jesus

    “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes...

    They're Runaways

    I’m sitting here facing the screen, I’m half-awake like in a dream. My mind is cloudy, not all there, So at the screen my eyes do stare. I know the Lord wants me to write, But half my brain has taken flight. I could give up and walk away, But I decided I must stay. So, I pursued Him, asked...

    Who or What Has Your Heart?

    “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away...

    Not Worldliness But Godliness

    “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away...

    Strange Bedfellows

    Blocking, stalking, fans are flocking, Strange bedfellows, they’re not knocking. Peeking through the windows plenty, As if love they ain’t got any. Window chasers, they are gazers, Destitute, they are debasers. Lusts a plenty, not without, They go there, without a doubt. All is for them, them...

    Their Foolish Hearts are Darkened

    I’m sharing this here with you from my time of personal devotions with my Lord Jesus Christ, for your encouragement. Sue Love Romans 1:18-20 ESV “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth...

    What Does it Mean to Love the World?

    1 John 2:15-17 ESV “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world...

    For the Look on Their Faces

    Isaiah 3:8-9 ESV “For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their deeds are against the Lord, defying his glorious presence. “For the look on their faces bears witness against them; they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to...

    Conduct Yourselves with Fear

    1 Peter 1:13 ESV “Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.” When we believe in Jesus Christ with God-given faith, not a faith created in the minds of human beings, but...

    Is it True Love?

    So, I had the song “Somewhere Out There” going through my mind for a couple of days, and it was in my mind again when I sat down to write. Some secular songs have a biblical theme to them and can be used both as a Christian or as a secular song, at least in part. But I saw no way this song could...

    Your Word My Delight

    Psalm 119:1-8 ESV Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways! You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently. Oh...

    What does Matthew 5:28 mean?

    I've been trying to grasp this scripture for a few years now but I'm no closer to understanding it. Matthew 5:28 "But I say to you that whoever looks on a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart." What context is this scripture in? I've looked up "lust" in...

    Faithful Servants

    Monday, July 31, 2017, 12:31 a.m. – The Lord Jesus put in mind the song “Courageous.” Speak, Lord, your words to my heart. I read various scriptures (in the ESV) on the subject of being faithful to God. Found Faithful (1 Co. 4:1-2) This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and...
