The Mind of Christ

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Romans 8:27 KJV We appreciate knowing that our names are lifted up in prayer by the saints of God.  If you request prayer and the following week someone tells you, “I prayed for you every day last week” how does that make you…

In the Beginning was the Word

We understand the Word of God to be the Bible.  To mankind, “word” means something spoken or written.  We fill books and magazines with the words of men.  We fill the air with the words we speak.  We see a word as nothing more than a means of communication.  And the Holy Scriptures is the written Word of God, bound by a cover.  We refer to it as the Holy…

Jesus Can Control Everything

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.” Matthew 28:18 KJV We serve a mighty and all-powerful Christ.  Is there anything that God can do that Jesus cannot do?  No, because Jesus is God (John 1:1), the Creator of all things (John 1:3), the Son of God (I John 4:15), the Savior of the world (I John 4:14), our…

Every Knee Shall Bow to Jesus

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11 KJV Jesus is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.  He is the great I AM and one day everyone will see Him for who He…

Would a Loving God Send People to Hell?

We’ve heard it said time and again. God is love, and a loving God wouldn’t send anyone to hell. But exactly how loving is the God of creation, the God of our universe, the God of all living?  According to John 3:16, God loved us so much “…that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  God loves us tremendously. …

I AM the Good Shepherd

“I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” John 10:14 KJV Sheep need guidance and protection.  They can’t fend for themselves.  They can’t take care of themselves.  If left to themselves, they wander astray every time. The Bible compares mankind to sheep.  Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD…

A Condition of Answered Prayer

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.  And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. I John 3:22-23 KJV I John 5:3 says, “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and…

I AM the Bread of Life

“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” John 6:35 KJV In John 6:51, Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I…

Walk as Children of Light

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.” Ephesians 5:11 KJV I Corinthians 1:9 says, “God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”   Fellowship is a good thing.   God desires us to have fellowship with Him, with His Son, Jesus, and with other believers.  I John 1:3 says, “That which we have seen and…
