Genesis 2:17 (MEV): but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die." When you read that verse, what comes to mind? I offer, most who read the verse won't really take it at what is written. …

The Eagles Will be Gathered Together
It was something said by Pastor Greg tonight (would love to link to video, but is near impossible.) He held his Bible up and said there were things in it he didn't understand. He said he understood much, and as he grew in wisdom, his understanding grew. Yet there were some things he didn't get. …
A Parable for You Today
Matthew 25:1–13 (MEV): “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be like ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were wise and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them. But the wise took jars of oil with their …
Good People
I have a question I would like to pose to you. I want you to answer it honestly. Do you think of yourself as a good person? Let's really examine what it means to be good. Remember, that Jesus told us that we really ought to judge... And do it correctly. John 7:24 (MEV): Do …
Were You Really Born This Way?
How many times have you heard it said that God has already determined all things that are to be, and has ordained and decreed them to be? What does the Bible say to this? Jeremiah 7:30-31 For the sons of Judah have done evil in My sight, says the Lord. They have set their abominations …

He Shall Bring Forth Justice

The Next Forbidden Tree
Genesis 3:22 (MEV): The Lord God said, “The man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. And now, he might reach out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever” After the fall, God set aside access to another tree. It was the tree of …
Naked Meets Crafty
Genesis 2:25 MEV They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. Genesis 3:1 MEV Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the …
In Dependence Day
I have been giving some thought to the significance of this day. In the United States, 4 July is the day we commemorate independence from the tyranny of the crown. One of the major themes of the day is freedom! It is in that light, we ought to point this day to Jesus. Acts 17:22–31 …
