This morning in my bible study, God revealed something to me that I really didn’t realize before. Have you ever talked to a non-believer who was very adamantly against Christians? Have you ever met someone who when you mention God or Jesus, they start to feel uncomfortable and tell you something like, “I don’t know about that?” That happens to me every Read the rest of this entry »

When I read this passage in Galatians, God opened my eyes to something. Galatians 4:21-23 reads, “Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says? The scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one from his slave wife and one from his freeborn wife. The son of the slave wife was born in a human attempt to bring about the fulfillment of God’s promise. But the son of the freeborn wife was born as God’s own fulfillment of His promise.”

God has a large plan and many small plans in-between. Since God is God, why would we try to interfere with His plans. God promised Abraham a son. Man, Sarah and Abraham, tried to make God’s promise come true by Abraham sleeping with Hagar who was Read the rest of this entry »

Just before I wrote this post I found something that I didn’t expect to. Romans 13:6 reads, “Pay your taxes.” I had no idea that this was worded so plainly.  Again in Romans 13:7 the bible reads, “Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them.”

Paying your taxes is not something most people look forward to. Actually, for me this is the first year I am Read the rest of this entry »

Are you kind to others?  Do you show kindness?  Romans 12:8 reads in the New Living Bible, “And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, Read the rest of this entry »

Last week I blogged about Jesus feeding the four thousand. Another thing that I get out of it now that I read it again is that Jesus had compassion on the people. Matthew 15:32 Jesus says, “I feel sorry for these people. They have Read the rest of this entry »

Many people know the story, Jesus Feeds Five Thousand, but did you know there is another time when Jesus Feed 4000?  I didn’t until I read it in my bible quite some time ago.  This story is another of Jesus’s many miracles.  From the time line in Matthew, Jesus had performed the miracle of feeding the 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish before He fed Read the rest of this entry »

Another of the the beatitudes is found in Matthew 5:9 which reads in the New Living Bible, “God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.”  The same verse in the King James Version reads, “Blessed are the peacemakers:  Read the rest of this entry »

Matthew 5:3-10 are The Beatitutes. Lets talk about the first on today. Matthew 5:3 reads in the New Living Bible, “God blesses those who are poor and realize their need for Him.”

The point here that we as people need to realize that we need Jesus. We need our Lord, God, and Savior because without Him we are nothing. I think that Jesus said it Read the rest of this entry »

I prayed for God to show me something to write about today and Romans 14:21-22 stick out to me. In the New Living Bible it reads, “it is better not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else if you might cause another Read the rest of this entry »

The New Living Bible reads in Romans 9:25, “Concerning the Gentiles, God says in the prophecy of Hosea, ‘those who were not my people I will now call my people.  And I will love those whom I did Read the rest of this entry »
