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 »

Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.  In Luke 18:17 Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter Read the rest of this entry »

The Orthodox Study Bible reads in Deuteronomy 31:8, “but the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid nor be terrified.”

As I mentioned in my last post there are a great many things that can be talked about in the first section of Luke 5 [verses 1-11].  I am going to pick up another important point today from verses 4-7 which reads, “When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, ‘Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’  But Simon answered and said to Him, ‘Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word Read the rest of this entry »

In my opinion, the Amplified Bible translation words the following bible verse in one of the most descriptive ways.  Jesus said in Luke 21:4, “but take heed to yourselves and be on your guard, lest your hearts be overburdened and depressed (weighed down) with the giddiness and headache and nausea of self indulgence, drunkenness, and worldly worries and cares pertaining to [the business of] this life, and [lest] that day come upon you suddenly like a trap Read the rest of this entry »

Psalm 23 is one of the most commonly known psalms if not the most common.  For those unfamiliar with how to find a chapter in the book of psalms, each psalm is its own chapter.  Psalm 23 is a psalm of David.  The bible version that I am reading from today is the Orthodox Study Bible.  I think the way it is translated is very similar to the New King James version.  Psalm 23 1-2 reads, “the Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He makes me to lie down in green Read the rest of this entry »

         When you pray do you find yourself wondering or worrying if God will do whatever you prayed for the way that you want it?  Do you worry that God doesn’t know what you need?  Do you worry that God might not get something or someone to you on time?  Do you worry that God doesn’t know how to give you the desires of your heart?  Do you worry about anything at all?  If the answer is yes to any of the above you are involved in stupid thinking.

         This is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to know.  John 3:3 reads, “verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”  John 3:5 reads, “verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  John 3:17 reads, “For God sent…His Son…that the world through Him might be saved.”  John 6:47 reads, “verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life.”  Mark 1:15 reads, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the Gospel.”  John 10:9 reads, “I am the Door; anyone who enters in through Me will be saved.”  John 14:6 reads, “No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 11:25-26 reads, “I am the Ressurection and the Life: he that believeth in Me, thought he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.  Believest thou this?” Read the rest of this entry »
