God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke long ago to the fathers through the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the world. He is the brightness of His glory, the express image of…

And in the same area there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Luke 2:8 When you see the word shepherd, what comes to mind? Do you visualize middle-aged weather-worn men like I did? That’s probably not the reality. Most likely, these shepherds would be teenagers and probably even…

In Him you also, after hearing the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and after believing in Him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Ephesians 1:13–14 Like other parts of the Bible,…

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land that I give you, the land shall keep a sabbath to the Lord. For six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its fruit, but in the seventh year…

I have witnessed many people saying things like “God allows evil things to happen.” That’s simply not true.

They are to covet the greater gifts. One might ask what are the greater gifts? That could be a good question to ask here. But I think…

History provides some poignant lessons… Among those is this one. I know I’ve written about this recently, but here is an important contemporary idea that needs to be considered in light of what the Bible says. Why do the nations rage,and the peoples plot in vain?The kings of the earth set themselves,and the rulers take…

But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which…

He supposed that his brothers would understand that God would deliver them by his hand, but they did not understand. Acts 7:25 I stumbled across this while reading Stephen’s testimony to refresh my memory for another task. As God would have it, something caught the attention. This verse was a flashing neon sign that said,…
